Violence and Christmas; don't they go hand in hand? Well, for "The Spirit," they sure do. After the jump you'll find a new holiday-themed TV spot for the movie, which opens Dec. 25.

The only thing they did to this spot to make is all Christmassy is add a softer song to the still visually pleasing footage.

Directed by Frank Miller, "The Spirit" follows Gabriel Macht as rookie cop Denny Colt, who mysteriously returns from the dead to take down crime in Central City. His worst enemy is the ruthless Octopus (Samuel L. Jackson), who plots to destroy Central City for good.

Eva Mendes, Scarlett Johansson, Jaime King and Sarah Paulson co-star. The film is based on the graphic novel by Will Eisner.
