'''''Christmas Wheel of the Worst (2024)''''' is another yearly Christmas-themed ''[[Best of the Worst]]'' episode, this time themed around [[the Wheel of the Worst]]. It's the 29th episode of the ''Wheel of the Worst'' series, and the 135nd episode of BOTW as a whole.

Unlike a normal WOTW episode, the options on the wheel are wrapped as gifts. However, three of the videos available are wrapped in trash bags instead, since they are the "coal" in the cast's stockings.

This episode features 6 panelists. To accomplish this, a buzzer is placed on the center of the BOTW table. Panelists are allowed to press the buzzer at any time to leave the table and force another panelist into their position.

Panelist rotation order:
* [[Josh Davies]]
* [[Jack Packard]]
* [[Tim Higgins]]
* [[Mike Stoklasa]]
* [[Rich Evans]]
* [[Jay Bauman]]

== Description ==

<blockquote>That time is here of the year!! Although, a little late to the gate it was this year. Christmas Best of the Worst can be tricky and this year’s episode was no exception. All hands on deck the halls! Mike, Jay, Rich, Tim, Josh, Jack, Josh, Jack, Jay, Tim, Josh, Jim, Josh, and Fartf*ck all join forces to watch three Christmas themed sh*t films. Usually we pick Christmas presents and unwrap them, but this year we did something a little different: Put wrapped Christmas presents on the Wheel of the Worst and spun it. Included with the gifts were lumps of Santa’s coal for the bad boys and boys. However, this year’s episode might go down as one of the worst episodes of anything ever, as our Christmas inventory is getting pretty low. Sure, we could have done a few non-Christmas movies but we wanted to keep it real this year. Rich was unusually grumpy. Mike was usually drunky. Ho ho ho.</blockquote>

== Themes ==
Jack Packard [[rigged gimmicks|unwraps half the gifts on the wheel]] to find one he's interested in after spinning.

During the discussion of ''Science Crazed'', Mike alludes to the fact that Jack Black starred in the film ''Dear Santa'', claiming he "stole their idea." This is a reference to [[Plinketto 9|Plinketto #9]], where Rich states "They should make a fucking Christmas movie where Satan has to learn the spirit of Christmas." The crew then proceed to plant the idea of "Warehouse Werewolf", a film about a werewolf trapped in a warehouse, with the hopes the idea will be stolen and become a [[wikipedia:Box-office bomb|bomb]]. This is an instance of [[Mike pitching a movie idea]].

Rich [[destroyed objects|destroys the buzzer in anger]].

== Trivia ==
Rich Evans reveals a scrapped RLM show idea called "Absolute Zero", where films would be scored based on all of their individual parts to attempt to find the numerically worst movie possible.
