Alien Xmas

Alien Xmas (2020) is a stop-motion holiday short you can watch online on iFILM. In just over forty minutes it follows X, a tiny alien sent down to Earth with a not-so-festive mission of his own.

His species wants to steal the planet's gravity so they can sweep up every present at once. Things go sideways at the North Pole, where a curious young elf mistakes X for a toy under the tree — and the spirit of Christmas slowly starts to thaw the little invader. It's directed by Stephen Chiodo of the Chiodo Brothers, the team behind Killer Klowns from Outer Space, who trade horror here for a gentle, handcrafted family tale. A sweet, low-stakes watch for kids in December. Stream Alien Xmas (2020) online on iFILM.
