Cheer or fear? Belsnickel is here! These are some of the scariest, meanest, and surprisingly most neutral winter holiday characters. Sabryna and Julianna discuss the terrifying Krampus, cannibalist scarecrow, and, a giant cat that eats anyone who hasn’t received clothes as a Christmas gift. So make sure to always give your loved ones some socks for the holidays (just to be safe)!
