John Waters

Slithering into town with his signature pencil-thin antithesis to Santa’s fluffy white beard, cult icon John Waters arrives just in time to spread some smut and trashy up the holiday season. His Christmas special is a one-man show (as it should be), featuring “The Sultan Of Sleaze” expounding on how he loves to give and receive perverse presents, his fondness of violent Christmas horror films, and his extreme obsession with Santa Claus. Waters has said that he truly loves Christmas and not in an ironic way, but his subversive celebration of the season should suit both those who share his affinity for the Yuletide and those who humbug the whole mess.
