He even convinces them to join him in redeeming his past actions. Despite their efforts, however, the efforts of the Good Guys Club manage to always backfire on them.

The Bad Guys: A Very Bad Holiday is a prequel, which takes place before the events of the 2022 feature film, The Bad Guys.

As a prequel, the main characters have not yet turned into good guys, which best explains why they continue to do bad things in the 2022 movie.

In The Bad Guys: A Very Bad Holiday, the criminals do a holiday heist since that is when banks and shops are closed.

When the festivities of the town are canceled, the group has no choice but to restore cheer to the residents. And they must do so by giving instead of taking.

The Bad Guys: A Very Bad Holiday is available to stream on Netflix starting November 30, 2023.
