Ho ho holy crap, you guys. The holidays are right around the corner, which means that soon you’ll be reenacting Jingle All the Way and battling crazed parents in hand-to-hand combat in order to make sure you leave with the perfect present for your loved ones. Still, we don’t wish bodily harm on anyone; if we’re going to have a healthy dose of holiday-themed ultraviolence, we’d rather have it come from the animation mavens from Robot Chicken. There’s just something infinitely more palatable about stop-motion animated figures performing unspeakable acts of violence. So, with that in mind, we’re kicking off the 12 Slays of Christmas with our pals at Robot Chicken who have given us 12 clips of some of the craziest kills featured on the long-running Adult Swim series.

On the first Slay of Christmas, our true love brought to us a clip of what happens when Santa Claus finally tracks down one of the deadliest assassins in all the land — Jason Bourne.

Aw, Parcheesi for everyone! If you want even more holiday cheer, you can pick up Robot Chicken: Christmas Specials collection on DVD now.
