Plot: It's almost Christmas and Tori want to have fun with her friends. But a killer robotic Santa is on the loose to ruin the festivities.
Horror slasher movies are no longer limited to the spooky season. For horror fans, horror movies during the Christmas season are the perfect gift.
Christmas Bloody Christmas is an interesting slasher movie and a decent festive horror movie so to speak.
However, too much screen time is given to Tori and her friend Robbie getting drunk and discussing heavy metal bands.
It's nice she has a friend during Christmas and all who she can vibe with but for a slasher movie, these scenes end up slowing the pace.
While slasher movies are notorious for not explaining the killer's motives most of the time, in this case, a little more explanation could have been akin to a nice little ribbon on a gift.
Seriously...why was the robot Santa relentlessly going after Tori?

Eventually, Tori ends up at a shop and tries to use whatever is at her disposal, at the killer.
She stabs him with a toy sword and lights a fire in a dustbin to activate the sprinklers. The whole point is to electrocute the RoboSanta.
It doesn't work that well and she ends up having to rip off pipes and electrical cables to properly electrocute RoboSanta.
RoboSanta is properly electrocuted and stays down this time.
Tori stumbles out of the shop. It's morning. It's snowing.
She collapses on the road and sobs/cries/screams.
The movie ends.
I wouldn't be surprised if there is a sequel. There certainly is obvious potential.
Perhaps the sequel could explain what happened to cause the malfunction in RoboSanta. An origin story of sorts.
