BILLY Bob Thornton’s drunken character in Bad Santa is the best-loved film Father Christmas, a poll revealed yesterday. Welsh actor Edmund Gwenn’s Kris Kringle in Miracle on 34th Street came second and Santa in South Park’s The Spirit of Christmas took third spot. Billy Mack’s sexy Santa girls from Love Actually were the fourth most loved while the cartoon St Nicholas in Father Christmas, voiced by comedian Mel Smith, was fifth. Hot Dog movie magazine, which carried out the poll, said: "Billy Bob Thornton’s Santa is one of the most entertaining you’re likely to encounter. Instead of spreading good cheer, he robs department stores." The survey also polled for the worst Santa – Angela Lansbury’s character in Mrs Santa Claus.
