I enjoy horror comedies. This isn't one. I really believe the makers thought they were making a true horror movie.
So the giant possessed nutcracker is given a little bit of backstory at an antique shop. It's a stupid story, but it's at least something.
So it turns out the shopkeeper is evil wants to reunite the sugar plum fairy doll that contains an evil hell jewel with the 6ft tall possessed nutcracker to bring it back to evil life. The shopkeeper and the current owner of the nutcracker, Marie, know each other. So does he give it to her as a gift? Nope, he waits DECADES for Marie's niece, Clara, to randomly stop in his shop, announce that she's Marie's niece, and wants to buy a Christmas gift for Marie.
So that's the stupid setup.
Nutcracker kills people at random. Goodcpeople had people, all people. He kills a delivery driver and somehow disposed of the driver's car. They show the same spot shortly after and the car is gone. A 6ft nutcracker possessed by the spirit of an 1800s German soldier knows how to drive.
Clara wins in the end because she knows how to destroy the power. It's never explained how she knows. She just does.
