Full of regret, Max wishes for his family back, only to be met with cruel laughter from 💷 the holiday horror. Krampus lifts the boy and tosses him into what appears to be Hell... only for Max to 💷 wake up in his bedroom on Christmas morning. Max goes downstairs and, to his shock, his family is all there, 💷 alive and happy.

However, while Max's sacrifice is redemptive, it's not really rewarded, and Krampus ultimately offers neither grace nor mercy 💷 in a Twilight Zone ending. Also, no higher being intervenes to forgive the family before or during that ending. This 💷 is, of course, contrary to the Gospel.
