As the jolly old man of Christmas, Santa Claus has a soft spot for the sentimental. While he's a big fan of the classic 1966 animated film, he also appreciates the modern adaptations of "How the Grinch Stole Christmas!" The live-action version starring Jim Carrey as the titular Grinch was a box office hit and captured the essence of the original story. Santa also appreciates the clever twists and humor in "The Grinch" film released in 2018, which showed the story from the Grinch's perspective and was a family-friendly remake of the classic tale.
