So bad, it's good, and then bad again.
Comically terrible.
It's Good for nostalgic reasons. When I was a kid, I thought it was great.

“Hooray for Santy Claus!” Extraordinarily awful and hysterically funny, Santa Claus Conquers the Martians is insanity wrapped in a bow. The plot is beyond idiotic; finding that their children have forgotten how to play and have fun, a group of Martians go to Earth to abduct Santa Claus in the hopes that he’ll be able to revive their children’s spirits. The acting is atrocious, but not as bad as the makeup and costumes, which are horrendous (even for ‘60s sci-fi). Yet it’s all made infinitely worse by how seriously the film takes itself. Though it’s terrible in every way possibly, Santa Claus Conquers the Martians is too ridiculous to hate and is just begging to be laughed at (which is actually kind of fun).
