Not all Christmas stories are full of cheer - take the disturbing childhood of Billy Lenz, for example. Born during Christmas, little Billy Lenz suffered from Jaundice because of a liver defect, and was unwanted by his cruel mother (who only saw the husband she'd come to despise when she looked at her son). While she let her true feelings be known to him with beatings and abuse, only his father showed him compassion like a parent should. But on Christmas Eve in 1975, his unfaithful mother gave him one of the most cruelest gifts of all, as she made five-year-old Billy observe his beloved father's brutal murder at her own hands and those of her lover with a claw hammer. Before burying him under the house, she locked Billy in the attic for good, to hold his silence of what he'd witnessed that night. His only contact from then on was when she came to punish him for making a noise or other such trivial nuisances, while she was with her lover and starting a "new" family. As Billy's mother fell pregnant with a daughter and treated her with love, which Billy had never experienced with his mother, Billy came out of the attic on Christmas Eve 1991, taking a rolling pin to his mother's head, and a pointed tree ornament to her lovers eye before leaving his sister as disfigured as he was by blinding her. Before he could finish the job police forced there way in and dragged him off to mental institution and his sister a foster home, whose eye sight was saved in one eye... but not the other. Cut to the present where a security guard has been monitoring Billy's progress since he came into his care, back in 1991. Knowing full well that during this time for fifteen years, Billy has made a break from this asylum, but never succeeding... until now. Far away, his childhood home is now a sorority house, where nine sisters and their house-mother are celebrating the holiday season together ...but tonight they're about to get a surprise visitor... and it's not Santa.

Movie Quote(s):
- Ms. Barbara MacHenry: Didn't I see Clair earlier? Kelli Presely: Isn't she upstairs writing a card to her sister? Melissa Kitt: No, I think her sister picked her up earlier. Remember, this is the occasion for Clair and her sister and her mom to bury the hatchet and rediscover each other. Dana Mathis: I'd like to bury the hatchet with my sister... right in her head.
-
Dana Mathis: I'd like to bury the hatchet with my sister. Right in her head!
-
Leigh Colvin: Fuck you, Santa Clause!
-
Ms. Barbara MacHenry: Who hasn't gotten a gift yet? Oh, Lauren. Dana Mathis: Just give her a shot of tequila, and wish her happy holidays. [Dana hands Lauren a drink, who is already obviously drunk] Melissa Kitt: Happy Holidays! [Lauren downs the shot of tequila, then takes a drink of her wine] Melissa Kitt: Okay, I know this is supposed to be the whole "Secret Santa" thing, but, I know that Clair drew your name. Lauren Hanon: Oh, yeah, she get me anything good? Melissa Kitt: Oh yeah... it's a music box. It plays "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies". Lauren Hanon: Oh, fuck no. I'm already startin' to see the Sugar Plum Fairies, I don't need to hear the little fuckers too! Ms. Barbara MacHenry: Language, language!

[Ms. Mac pulls out an ice scrapper in the snow covered car] Heather: What is that thing?
Movie Trivia:
- Andrea Martin, who played Phyllis in Black Christmas (1974), said in an interview that she hadn't thought about Black Christmas for 32 years and it "came out of the blue" when Glen Morgan offered her the role as the house mother in the movie.
-
Glen Morgan approached Mary Elizabeth Winstead about the movie at 4 AM in the airport after finishing Final Destination 3 (2006) with her. After being hesitant at first after only just finishing a horror movie, she agreed to the role of "Heather" because she is a fan of the 1974 version.
-
Crystal Lowe's first leading role.
-
Glen Morgan wanted either Margot Kidder or Andrea Martin (who were both in the Black Christmas (1974)) to play the house mother in this movie, to pay respect to the 1974 version.
-
Glen Morgan didn't specifically have any male actors considered for the role of Kyle in the movie. Instead, during auditions, his 14-year-old daughter (stepdaughter of Glen's actress wife Kristen Cloke, who also has a role in the movie), picked out Oliver Hudson shouting out "That one!"
