R-rated Christmas movies offer a break from traditional holiday cheer and embrace deranged killer Santas and raunchy humor. Some R-rated Christmas movies, like "Bad Moms Christmas" and "The Ref," explore dysfunctional families and offer a humorous take on holiday discontent. In addition to classics like "Die Hard," newer R-rated Christmas films like "Violent Night" and "The Night Before" provide dark humor and action-packed entertainment.

While they are mostly family-friendly fare, there are also some highly rated and beloved Rated-r Christmas movies. Christmas is mostly a time for family and friends, and the movies that mostly come during the holidays range from kids' movies to romantic comedies and films about Santa Claus, elves, and tidings of good cheer. However, for many people, it is also a time for deranged killer Santa Clauses, raunchy R-rated humor, and a great deal of holiday discontent among people who would rather be anywhere than at home for Christmas.
