Silly, lazy ending ruined what could have been a lot better.

Krampus reset everything for the real world and the bell told them all that the same "dream" everyone had last night was real.
Only the boy saw the bell that night, so why would the family react to seeing it on X-Mas morning?

We saw the movie and dream from the boy's perspective. Maybe each family member had variations of that dream where they saw the bell too.

If that was the case, there'd be thousands of real-life reports of houses and families just vanishing
Well basically you may as well not watch horror anymore, because you could make that statement about anything from Freddy Krueger to Angela Franklin to Toby from Paranormal Activity basically anything supernatural. We never see the explanation to the police (though in NOES they did sometimes say they knew about Freddy, but weren't consistent about it). My assumption was he didn't physically take the whole house, he had created a replica in a globe that he did physically imprison the family in. So they are gone, but the house is still standing.

Well, that's not really unheard of. There have been many real-life cases of someone going crazy, hunting down and killing everyone in the house, and then going to their place of employment and hunting down and killing some more. It's not unbelievable that if the suspect got away after that, people would think it might be something supernatural like Freddy or Jason.
to Toby from Paranormal Activity
Even those murders are fairly isolated. A demon drags someone away and they are never heard from again. That can be written off as the person just running away from home or a wife going crazy and killing her husband. It's not like whole neighborhoods are slaughtered and homes just vanish from their properties.
And, in those movie franchises, the few people who realize that something supernatural is going on never are able to convince anyone else of that fact. So, the police always write off any simple-seeming murders and disappearances as mortal wrong-doings.
As far as I know, it's never happened that someone murders a whole sleep-away camp or a whole neighborhood.

Did you watch the movie? Because clearly something happened there at the end other than the "it was all a dream" bit.
My take is that they are now eternally trapped in Christmas morning and Krampus has added them to his collection.

Open to interpretation, which tbf in itself is lazy.
It was not open to interpretation.
They were all dead, and their souls were stuck in some 'Krampus-Made Purgatory'. Everything that happened to them, really happened. -

You mean the.
"it was all a dream, thank goodness."
"Here is your present Max."
"Wait, it wasn't a dream oh $#!%. So he is still watching us to make sure we act good. Oh no."
You do realize that this is fundamentally doing A Christmas Carol except with one ghost(demon) and a horror story instead.
