Louis Winthorpe III in Trading Places (1983)
While this movie is not a holiday movie in the traditional sense of the word, we can't help but include Dan Aykroyd's portrayal of Louis Winthorpe III, a polished business man who falls on hard times when he becomes an unwitting victim of a cruel social experiment. Having lost his job, home, and access to his bank accounts, Winthorpe shows up at his former company's Christmas party in his best version of Bad Santa: drunk, disheveled and desiring to pilfer under his suit some salmon from the buffet table.
