None of the family members abuse them, but the armed robbers do. One of them punches a teenager in the face, and later they threaten both the teenager and a younger (10 years old?) child with guns. Although neither of them gets shot, it's not an empty threat and the villains were more than willing to kill them.

Most of the cast can be described this way. The opening sequence shows Santa getting visuable drunk and drunk driving is alluded to. A father is shown as being pass out drunk in a following scene with the implication that its to the point of negligence. Santa continues to drink frequently throughout the first half of the film. Several other characters are seen to drink frequently and alcohol is reference many times.

There is another scene where Santa is fighting a bad guy outside. The bad guy tries to hit him with a grenade,but the bad guy is laying in the snow. He manages to uncap it but Santa manages to get away in time before it goes off. It’s not gory,but you see in the back the bad guy on fire while he’s alive.

There is gore but it is more over the top "fake" and not hyper realistic - lots of blood and such but it was more playful if that makes sense. So if you can handle slasher/cheesy gore you should be ok.

at the beginning of the movie santa (david harbour) is seen heavily drinking, and constantly burping (which may also be triggering to some, as it is clear he may vomit sometime soon). when he goes to the roof and climbs in his sleigh the bartender chases him up there. and while he is flying away in his sleigh from the bar, there is a moment where the camera angle switches back and forth between the sleigh, which is now airborne, and the bartender still on the roof. santa vomits over the side of the sleigh and said vomit lands right on the bartender. pretty triggering for someone with emetapobia

Santa and the magic bag are real and there is meta talk about his existence and the trope of “cool people don’t look at explosions.” Probably not too bad but thought I’d note.

Santa has several flashbacks to a battlefield throughout the film. There is discussion of him feeling guilt over his actions during an unspecified battle but whether or not this is PTSD is hard to define.

Santa sets an explosion and walks away from it like a classic action scene, but then he says “I gotta watch” and turns around to see. This joke references that usually action characters do not turn around, which addresses that Santa is in an action movie. But there is no talking to the audience that I can recall

“C*cksucker” is used over the phone to refer to someone who is later said to have a husband. Their gender is unconfirmed so it’s unclear if this is homophobic in intent.

I don’t believe there’s anything you see. The only thing I can remember is a comment the Grandma makes about her granddaughter’s name. She says Trudy sounds like a whore’s name. That’s an awful comment in general,but also confusing. Her granddaughter is a minor,that’s an awful thing to say about a minor. But Trudy is her nickname,her name is Gertrude which is also the grandma’s name.

So actually yes. In one scene a father tells his daughter that santa is not real and its played incredible literally. However this is mitigated by the fact that santa is real within the context of the film and then has an incredible meta conversation about his existence directly afterword.

I would call it more of a mid-credit scene, however, you're not missing anything important if you decide to skip this as it's a throwaway joke

there is a snowmobile crash near the end of the movie. it happens when santa is riding his snow mobile STRAIGHT at mr scrooge, who is standing in front of a wooden shack. mr scrooge moves out of the way, and santa’s snow mobile crashes into a wooden stump, sending him (santa) flying

There’s definitely a decent amount of blood/gore in this movie. They get creative at times with how Santa will kill the bad guys. I don’t suggest this if you are sensitive to blood/gore.

There are a couple of explosions, but not through nuclear. One explosion is with a fire extinguisher. Another is with a small grenade stuck on someone.
