Storyline

The Nostalgia Critic is so bummed with today's Christmas movie, he doesn't feel the urge to put any effort into his review. He starts to long for the old days when it was just him, a camera, clips and memes. And so Santa Christ makes his wish come true, swapping out the 2007 Critic for the current one, so this horrible movie can be given the old-school, low-budget, low-effort it deserves. What movie could be so horrible, you may wonder? Christmas with the Kranks. Nuff said.

Santa Christ: Well, the segue you were going to put effort into would've made that happen. BUT, since you're not interested...
