Grumpy Cat would like to wish you a very crappy Christmas.
The Internet's most famous cat will bring her holiday grump to Lifetime this December for the live-action movie Grumpy Cat’s Worst Christmas Ever. Grumpy stars as a lonely kitty in a mall pet store, where she deters potential owners with her grouchy face deters. Her bad luck changes when a 12-year-old girl named Chyrstal falls head over paws for the sour puss.

As with any feelings-whomping holiday film, the story includes a bit of drama when Grumpy saves a snobby dog from kidnappers and rescues Chyrstal on Christmas Eve. Think of It's a Wonderful Life rewritten by the Internet and Jimmy Stewart replaced by Scumbag Steve. Actually, that sounds horrible, don't think about that.
The movie hopes to break the record for Internet meme cameos in a Lifetime film with appearances by Keyboard Cat, Nyan Cat and others not yet announced. The current record is zero -- unless you count Philosoraptor's bit part in the Stephen Collins, Keri Russell thriller The Babysitter's Seduction. (Kidding.)
When asked her least favorite thing about Christmas, Grumpy Cat (as interpreted through her agent, Ben Lashes) said, "Its existence."
HO, HO, NO.
