comment
Amazingly Embarrassing Parents: The moms of the main trio. Ruth annoys Amy by being a critical and perfectionist show-off, Kiki gets downright irked at Sandy being overwhelming and smothering, and Carla... well, she doesn't care that mom Isis is a hedonist like herself, but only that she never comes unless it's to get money for gambling.

 A Bad Moms Christmas / int_401d4116
comment
Broken Aesop: The movie's moral that the mom protagonists should "take Christmas back" for themselves, should stand up for their own interests, fatally conflicts with Amy's climactic realization that the only thing that should matter to a mom is her kids' happiness.

Bigger Is Better in Bed: Ty and Carla Meet Cute when the former comes in to the spa to have the latter wax his balls, and she is so overawed by the size of his penis that she instantly falls in love with him. Later we see Ty strip down to his briefs during a performance and his enormous penis, outlined by the sheer fabric all the way down his thigh, overawes the audience.

Casting Gag: Amy's family loudly complains at her mom dragging all of them to the Russian The Nutcracker, which is entirely in Russian, as no one speaks it. Her mom also later remarks "What are we, Jewish?" about their Christmas tradition. Mila Kunis, who plays Amy, is a Russian-speaking Jew.

How We Got Here: The movie starts with Amy stating in a voice-over that she feels responsible for turning Christmas into a disaster and flashing back to the last week before Christmas with a dejected Amy amidst destroyed decorations, claiming to have ruined Christmas. Eventually it gets there, a lavish party thrown by Amy's mom behind her back which leads Amy to fight her, expel her and make her kids sad that after driving daddy away, Amy is now doing the same with grandma.

 A Bad Moms Christmas / int_a70223
comment
Karma Houdini: The mom protagonists go on a drunken mall rampage in which they slap an overly jolly mall elf, sexually harrass Santa Claus, and steal the Christmas tree from Foot Locker without facing any legal consequences. The moms' moms are instantly forgiven for the lifetimes of abuse they piled on their daughters; in particular Ruth is absolved of verbally abusing Amy in front of her family after merely a halting apology, and Isis is absolved of stealing Carla's money for years and repeatedly abandoning her on promise of repayment. Carla and Isis bond by stealing groceries from supermarket customers via a fake charity scam. Carla reminisces that this reminds her of the good times of their past. They escape scot-free when the store manager comes out to challenge them.

Inferiority Superiority Complex: Amy's mother turns out to have this. Her own mom never really loved her; she goes for a perfect Christmas and wants to look the best because it makes her feel, even for a second, that she's good enough. Amy's dad tells Amy all this, and that his wife is actually the most insecure woman he's ever met.

Freudian Excuse
 A Bad Moms Christmas / int_c868a42a
comment
Freudian Excuse: This movie introduces the three mothers of the main trio, and it's clear why they started the original like that: Amy tried too hard for growing up with a Control Freak (who in turn, was also treated like that by her mother), Kiki only cared for her children because her mother was overbearing, and Carla is a neglectful hedonist because mom is the same way.
