One good example of this is the Campbell's melting snowman ad: Yes, it includes a variation of the holiday carol &quot;Let it Snow,&quot; but it never actually says anything about Christmas. Smart move, because the ad can air for several months beyond the holidays. Others include memorable Hallmark Christmas commercials and many more seasonal ads.What are the best Christmas commercials of all time?

Christmas can be absolutely terrifying for children.On Christmas Eve, parents often blame their child's inability to fall asleep&nbsp;on the anticipatory&nbsp;excitement they experience while waiting to begin a fun-filled Christmas morning. However, the truth is that there is a dark side of Christmas, and it's worse than anything you'll encounter on Halloween.&nbsp;Despite what Hallmark has led you to believe, the history of Christmas is filled with <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/the-10-most-terrifying-christmas-figures/molly-mahan" target="_blank">terrifying figures</a>. Even modern Christmas traditions, such as&nbsp;watching <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/scary-christmas-movies/anncasano" target="_blank">holiday-themed movies</a>, can prove unnerving to a child. Consider the&nbsp;time-tested film&nbsp;Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, which features&nbsp;a terrifying&nbsp;carnivorous snow monster as the primary antagonist.The horrifying truth about Christmas is that the holiday does more than just remind children to be grateful and kind; it teaches them that tiny recon elves are real, other dimensions exist, and the whole holiday is basically a massive re-working of the Pagan Yuletide festival.&nbsp;Here's a list of all the horrendous things you didn't know about popular Christmas traditions.&nbsp;

There are some jobs that, unfortunately, don&#39;t get time off during the holiday season. We&#39;re&nbsp;all grateful that police officers, firefighters, doctors, nurses and most&nbsp;grocery store workers are available regardless of when Christmas or other holidays fall. On the other hand, some people just have terrible management or co-workers and they end up&nbsp;suckered into terrible situations when they could have been home with family.

A Wonderful Christmas Time

The best &#39;90s Christmas movies are super&nbsp;diverse and unique. Some of them are gritty and adventurous, while others are sweet and family-oriented. Do you prefer something a little darker, a little more fantastical? If so, you might vote for Tim Burton&rsquo;s The Nightmare Before Christmas, a stop-motion dark fantasy romp through an imaginary world of creatures and misfits. Looking for something a bit lighter? Maybe Home Alone is up your alley. The story of a grade school kid named Kevin whose family accidentally leaves for vacation without him, Home Alone is packed with hijinks from top to bottom. When thieves target Kevin&rsquo;s house, he has to protect himself and his home with every trick he can muster, from boxing glove boobie traps to threatening movie quotes.

This list of the best &lsquo;90s Christmas movies also features plenty of family friendly entertainment, including Jingle All the Way, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sinbad as stressed out fathers seeking an exclusive Christmas toy. For a more sentimental story, look no further than Miracle on 34th Street, a remake of the 1947 classic tale of Santa Clause in New York City.

Offering dozens of seasonal variations on two folks working together while falling in love, such as My Christmas Dream, A December Bride, and Christmas in Love, Hallmark brings romance to the holiday. Their <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/romantic-christmas-movies/ranker-film?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">romantic Christmas movies</a> also include films like The Sweetest Christmas and Enchanted Christmas, where the holiday helps two people remember how much they love each other.

For some time now, Christmas has been a terrifying holiday masquerading as the &quot;most wonderful time of the year.&quot; As much as we may love Santa Claus and his predecessors for shelling out presents to good boys and girls during the yuletide season, we mostly ignore that it&#39;s a reward system with traumatic consequences for a social contract none of us ever agreed to.

Yet, Santa is the least offensive (aside from being the de facto overlord) of these characters as he only deals with those who end up on his &quot;Nice List.&quot; But what happens to those who end up on his Naughty List? Do they get a lump of coal? Perhaps; in some traditions -&nbsp;ancient and modern -&nbsp;we bad boys and girls don&#39;t get off so easily.

Here's to Beer!

Alcohol

The best Christmas beer includes a wide range of domestic and imported beers. Many breweries are making special seasonal beers to appeal to holiday drinkers. Some of these brews combine various Christmastime flavors like vanilla, ginger and cinnamon to give the beer a nice, high-quality flavor. Others are just dark and stout, offering up a classic winter beer to please even the pickiest beer connoisseur. This list includes some of the best beers offered during the holiday season, so be sure to vote for the ones you've tried and loved (and vote down the beers you don't think even Drunk Santa would imbibe).Some of the most popular, perennial favorite Christmas beers include Tröegs Mad Elf (a wonderful mix of sweet and sour), Goose Island Christmas Ale (a spicy, aromatic brown ale), St. Bernardus Christmas Ale (a creamy, fruity holiday beer) and Anchor Brewing Company's "Our Special Ale," which is slightly different each year. Anchor's been making their Christmas beer since the mid-1970s, by the way. Whether your taste runs more to a lighter, Belgian blend or a dark, hearty stout, there really is a Christmas beer for everyone.One thing to note about many of these Christmas beers: The alcohol content may be slightly higher than a traditional, domestic beer. Keep that in mind, because once you find the perfect Christmas brew, it's quite easy to overdo things. Nothing squelches a great holiday gathering among friends and family like a killer Christmas hangover. Ho ho ho!
