When it comes down to it, everyone’s got their own special version of Santa Claus that they keep in their hearts and minds, and it all depends on how you learned about him in the first place from the movies. Was it in an old Rankin & Bass Christmas special from the 60’s? Or perhaps the alcoholic Santa who pushes Ralphie down a slide in A Christmas Story. Or maybe, it’s just a regular joe who falls into the role by accident.
Over the decades, tons of actors have played the jolly fat guy. Some have met with critical acclaim, while others should be long forgotten. These are some of my favourites, ranked by awesomeness and how successful they are at the role.
MGM/UA
16) A Christmas Story
Jeff Gillen
He’s kind of abusive and has that gin-soaked glow, but we can’t entirely hate him. He’s got Ralphie’s best interests at heart. Kinda.
TriStar Pictures
15) Santa Claus: The Movie
David Huddleston
Given that the movie is titled after him, Santa’s not a huge part of the film, which kind of defeats the point.
Embassy Pictures
14) Santa Claus Conquers the Martians
John Call
For a B-Movie Santa, he’s not so bad. He survives a kidnapping and assassination attempt, and even tries to build toys for Martian kids. But, he’s also a little scatterbrained.
Columbia Pictures
13) Arthur Christmas
Jim Broadbent
This guy is kind of Santa, but kind of not. In the movie, the title is a family legacy, so this soon to be retired Santa, is actually called Malcolm. He’s worn out, confused and ready to move on. Not the kind of guy we want in charge of Christmas.
NBC
12) Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Stan Francis
Whether you think he’s a bully or not in this old Christmas special, he’s not exactly the best judge of who’s naughty or nice, given the shenanigans that are happening under his watch.
Warner Bros.
11) Fred Claus
Paul Giamatti
It’s an odd mix to have Santa be more of a Scrooge-type character, but we can understand where he’s coming from, once we meet his brother Fred.
Paramount Pictures
10) All I Want for Christmas
Leslie Neilson
It’s got Leslie Neilson in the lead role as Santa, what more do you want? Ok, perhaps a better movie. This 1991 rom-com isn’t a pleasant watch, but Santa does make it slightly more palatable.
Buena Vista Pictures
9) Bad Santa
Billy Bob Thornton
It’s hard to believe that an alcoholic, sex-addicted fake Santa wouldn’t be the worst, but he actually has a heart under that crushed velvet suit.
20th Century Fox
8) Miracle on 34th Street
Edmund Gwenn
The original Kris Kringle is definitely one of the sweetest Santas you’ll find. He’s pretty close to the real deal, if you ask me.
Buena Vista Pictures
7) Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas
Edward Ivory
The leader of Christmas Town has to go through a lot on account of meeting Jack, but he still somehow manages to stay cheery. Plus, “Sandy Claws” still finds a way to bring the Christmas Spirit to Halloween Town, with the help of Jack. That’s skill.
Buena Vista Pictures
6) Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas
Chris Sarandon
The Pumpkin King of Halloween Town tries his best to bring the holiday spirit to his land, but fails. But you know what, he tried something new and scary, and that deserves recognition.
Warner Bros.
5) The Polar Express
Tom Hanks
This heartwarming film has Tom Hanks doing double duty, and no actor is more wholesome than T. Hanks. He’s the best animated Santa around, full of Christmas magic.
Netflix
4) The Christmas Chronicles
Kurt Russell
Who’s have guessed that Netflix subscribers wanted to see Snake Plissken as Santa? In any case, this is a worthy portrayal to add to the Santa Hall of Fame. He’s a bit of a badasss.
New Line Cinema
3) Elf
Ed Asner
This is one sassy Santa, full of sarcasm and dwindled patience. But he’s also one of the most real Santas you’ll find. Sometime, the truth is the best gift of all.
20th Century Fox
2) Miracle on 34th Street
Richard Attenborough
While the original Kris Kringle is sweet, I’m partial to the remake’s version. He’s both magical and wise, but also a little bit more relevant and modern.
Plus I also believe that he’s the same guy who cloned dinosaurs for his grandkids.
Buena Vista Pictures
1) The Santa Clause
Tim Allen
For me, it’s only Scott Calvin that I see at Christmas. Sure, he’s corny and not the greatest dad at times, but he was the definitive Kris Kringle for me growing up.

Hayden Panettiere
Size: 8
Age: 18
Height: 5ft 1in
Weight: 8st
To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

SATC star Kim swears by gym sessions with Russian kettle bells (traditional cast-iron weights) and the South Beach Diet to give her the body she wants. To avoid overeating, Kim has a radical diet trick – squirting lemon juice on her leftovers – so she won’t carry on picking.
Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
