We've seen the movies. We know the characters. We know the lines by heart. The sidekick to every Christmas movie star. Sometimes even better than the protagonist. Or maybe just a random creature from a well-known funny scene. Nevertheless, these non-human characters are what make every Christmas movie so great and memorable.
