The White Witch
Of all the creepiest characters of Christmas/Yule/Winter, the White Witch appears on top. She appears in the Chronicles of Narnia series, written by C. S. Lewis. And before anyone asks, no, she is not the Snow Queen of fairy tale legend by Hans Christian Andersen. The Snow Queen in the tale by Andersen is a neutral force of nature, almost a goddess, and not an antagonist or a protagonist. The White Witch is very different to the Snow Queen. The White Witch character is a tyrant of Narnia and an evil sorceress from an alien world.
She put Narnia under a spell, so that it is always Winter. She hates Christmas and every type of enjoyment so she banned Santa from entering Narnia. Her most powerful weapon is a golden wand that she used to turn anyone she didn't like to stone. Everyone in Narnia felt terrified of her. The White Witch didn't come from Narnia, but she ended up there and took over the entire world.
She has many nightmarish allies and servants who supported her and helped to oppress the Narnians. Among these White Witch loyalists was Maugrim, the captain of the secret police, Otmin the army general and Ginarrbrik. Also her friends include many creatures of horror, such as werewolves, ogres, ghouls, incubi, demons and other monsters as well as brainwashed sprites, dwarves, poisonous plants, evil apes, gigantic bats and vultures. Among her associates are witches, hags, giants and ghosts. The White Witch put Narnia under her complete control. Only Aslan the lion can stop her.
The background of the White Witch is that she's Queen Jadis from the planet Charn. She dabbled in very dark magic and learned the forbidden spell that was kept in guarded secret for centuries. Once she discovered it, she used it to destroy the whole world of Charn, so that she was the only one alive there! She remained alone and in a very long sleep, until she was woken by children who got there after they travelled through a dimensional portal. Jadis was led through a portal to Earth, where (luckily) her magic was useless. After she wanted to return to the ruins of her home world, Jadis entered a portal but unfortunately she ended up in Narnia instead.
All of this is within the book series Chronicles of Narnia.
