Marvel Entertainment has released a special holiday video where the Avengers meet up with one holly, jolly, red clad fat man in the stop motion production Marvel Super Heroes: What the -?! Only his cheeks weren't so much red as purple. Because he was Thanos.

Thanos, the Mad Titan, bringer of destruction and runner up for the title of worst dad ever, donned the red uniform in order to break into Attilan and steal the gems. It didn't work out great as he ended up having to pull Santa duty in order to keep up the disguise.
Hilarity ensues in the video as each hero starts listing off what themed gift they want for the holiday. There's even a surprise twist ending. I won't ruin it for you but I will say that fans of Eldritch horrors should pay attention.

This isn't the first time that Thanos has played Santa. He didn't put on the costume or anything, but when Gamora was a girl, he put up a tree and even gave her gifts. Just like a real dad. Their holiday cheer was interrupted by people trying to kill him. I don't think you can expect much else when you're responsible for as much death and general destruction as he is.
Still, underneath that purple world destroying exterior, deep, deep, under that somewhere is a kind and gentle heart. So deep.
You can watch the full video for some geeky holiday cheer below.
