Much Better R-Rated XMas Movie Than

Office Christmas Party and The Night Before.

This has a cohesive plot, nostalgic enough of the first two but doesn't rely on old gags, funny and original jokes, and has just the right amount of christmas spirit. I also thought they did a great job of showing nyc at christmas time. Office Christmas party was ok but the christmas spirit part was a little forced and the plot was hard to take seriously. The Night Before i just didn't care about the characters at all, and the plot was super weak.
