From Google.com:

Feeders 2: Slay Bells is a 1998 direct-to-video, ultra-low-budget sci-fi horror-comedy directed by brothers John and Mark Polonia. The film follows a family's peaceful Christmas Eve that turns chaotic when aliens invade, ultimately forcing Santa Claus and his elves to save humanity. [1, 2, 3, 4]

Key Details & Trivia
​

• The Production: Made on an incredibly small budget (famously rumored to be around $500), the movie features alien puppets that look like spray-painted styrofoam.
• Reused Footage: The Polonia brothers were notorious for padding out runtimes. About 15 minutes of this 68-minute movie consist of flashbacks and reused stock footage from their previous movie, Night Crawlers.
• The Story: Despite ending in total world destruction for the first Feeders, the sequel is entirely unconnected. The main character, Alan Parker (played by Mark Polonia), is fighting off a new invasion with his family while a survivor from the first film, Derek, endlessly recaps previous events from a mental hospital.
• The Verdict: Cult film fans typically view this as a prime "so bad it's good" movie. The acting is deeply amateurish, the kill scenes are famously campy, and the depiction of Santa Claus is one of the strangest in cinema history. [1, 4]
