Okay, I am all about making peace with Martians and not fighting them or telling them how to run their planet. However, they apparently don’t follow the same guidelines regarding their interactions with Earth, because they came down to Earth and kidnapped Santa Claus in the film Santa Claus Conquers the Martians.

But these are the Christmas-related films the Action Flick Chick has reviewed so far.
