Completely impractical.
ICBMs can't even reach orbit, never mind Mars. So we'd have to build enough rockets to lift around 10,000 nuclear warheads to Mars, typically weighing around 300kg each.
The inevitable launch failures would be interesting too. Even if 99% reliable, that's still a hundred nuclear warheads raining randomly back to Earth.
And on top of all that, I don't think it'd actually make Mars significantly warmer.
