For children brought up with the 'commercialized' form of Christmas, Santa Claus can be seen as something of a symbol of divine judgment as well as a jolly child-friendly icon, making the Bad Santa almost like a combination between the [[Knight Templar]] and the [[Monster Clown]]. It isn't uncommon for the Bad Santa to herald his appearance with a twisted form of the 'naughty or nice' list - usually with severe penalties for whoever is on the 'naughty' list.
 
More mundane works might feature crooks in Santa costumes around Christmas as it isn't suspicious yet disguises their identity well.
 
An extreme form of [[Paranoia Fuel]]. Named after the movie of the same name. Usually ends up fighting the real deal, [[Badass Santa]]!
