Failing miserably at something is often quite funny. It’s never funnier than when it happens during the holiday season, however. Each of these 50 epic and hilarious holiday fails is brought to you by a person who only had one job to do.
Those Are Some Interesting Napkins, Grandma
Here you are looking at a nicely decked out table ready to serve a holiday meal. The napkins sure are folded in an interesting fashion, however. They look even funnier when someone wipes their chin.
Bell Shaped Bells
These holiday bells are actually shaped like bells. Isn’t that amazing? Bell-shaped bells just in time for the holidays!
Know When To Stop, Santa
There is a lot to unpack with this picture. We’re not sure what this girl is asking Santa to stop doing and we don’t think we want to know. Frosty doesn’t seem to be up to much good either.
Don’t Jump, Santa!
Here we see a picture of Santa on Christmas day in 2008. He lost his life savings in the stock market crash and wasn’t feeling very merry that year.
Christmas Cookie Made To Look Like A…Candle?
Here we see the photo of a Christmas cookie made by someone’s relative that was meant to look like a candle. It does kind of look like a candle but that’s not what people are thinking of when they first see it.
We’re Here To Help, Santa!
Things can get lonely out there in the North Pole and Santa needs all the help that he can get around the holiday season. The elves are always available to assist in whatever way they can.
Phallic Chocolate Santa
Sometimes far more effort goes into the foil packaging of chocolate than the actual chocolate itself. Very little effort went into the making of this chocolate Santa and the results were somewhat phallic.
Wait, What Do Those Lights Do?
Uppercase L’s should not be placed next to uppercase I’s. You just end up making a “u” and that could confuse people when offering them these flickering lights.
Here we see a flyer for a fun holiday-themed event. But, wait a second, what is Santa doing to those pancakes? We don’t want to eat those, sir.
Sending Your Kid To School In An Ugly Christmas Sweater
The person taking this photo sent their kid off to school in what they thought was an ordinary ugly Christmas sweater. Then the kid’s teacher noticed what Santa was doing and how he was spelling out Merry Christmas in the snow.
Santa’s Beard Is Made Up Of Children’s Souls
This close-up picture of Santa looks normal until you glance a little deeper at his beard. It seems as though the souls of children are trapped inside there. That’s a rather dark aspect of Christmas we were not aware of.
No, Not Four Ornaments
Some mistakes are more simple than others. The box could have just been labeled “Christmas Ornaments” with no mention of how many of them there were. There are three but the box says four.
These Snowmen In Thailand
It’s not clear if the movie “Human Centipede” was really popular in Thailand or why these snowmen were arranged in the way that they were. It doesn’t quite fill us with the holiday spirit, however.
No Reese’s, That’s Not What Trees Look Like
It would be interesting to be a fly on the wall within the Reese’s company when this product was made. “Does this look like a tree, Steve?”
“Sure, why not?”
Kids Don’t Know How To Spell “Wrapping”
When kids don’t know how to spell a word, they sound it out. This can lead to humorous results when they attempt to tell others they are “wrapping” gifts in the other room.
This Odd Santa Slide
A Santa Claus slide is a good idea. A Santa Claus slide where the person is shot out between Santa’s legs is not a good idea. Yet, here it is, it exists.
This Holiday Season Is Going To Be Lit
Here we see a collection of common holiday ornaments called gas cans. They are perfect if you really want to light up the holidays!
Well, You Tried
The person who posted this to Reddit noted that it was their boyfriend’s attempt at creating Christmas cookies. Well, these are Christmas cookies, they just aren’t very good.
The Commonly Used “Brother and Boyfriend” Card
It must be interesting to work for a greeting card company during the holidays. You want to make sure that you have cards printed up for every occasion. Here we see a card that is addressed to someone’s brother and boyfriend.
Wrapping Cash Is Risky
Sending people cash can be an easy way to give a person a useful present. Wrapping a $500 bill in paper that is going to be torn is a poor idea, however.
This “Christmas Tree” In Paris
Christmas in France sure can be an interesting experience. Look at this Christmas tree that was erected in Paris to create some additional holiday cheer.
Aunt’s Ceramics Class Project
If you think this ceramic Santa came out a little phallic, you should have been there when it was made. Someone’s Aunt was 5 glasses of red wine into her ceramics class and tried to recreate the scene from “Ghost.”
Santa Has Been Up For Days
It seems as though they have put Santa’s eyelashes in the wrong location on this plush toy. Either that or Santa has been up for days trying to get ready for the holidays.
You Know, Your Baby Doesn’t Even Understand Christmas
Here is a perfect example of a innocent young child being forced to put up with their parents’ obsession with the holidays. This baby doesn’t know what is going on other than there are lots of blinking lights and scary sounds. You did this for you parents, you did this for you.
Santa Claus and Satan have very similar names and this can cause confusion around the holiday season. To clear things up, Satan gives out way better gifts than Santa.
Look at how happy this person was when they thought they were baking a giant snowman cookie. They seem much less impressed when what came out of the oven was a Jabba the Hutt cookie.
A Mall Christmas Tree/Poo Emoji
If you can believe it, someone decided that a brown spirally shaped cone would make for the perfect shape for a Christmas tree. This does sort of remind us of the South Park character of Mr Hankey the Christmas poo.
Reusing Easter Bunnies As Christmas Reindeer
Did your store not sell all the chocolate Easter bunnies that you thought you would? Just repurpose those unused Easter chocolates as reindeer for Santa around the holiday season.
Sorry Kids, Santa Exploded This Year
If you would like to make your yard look a little bit more festive, you can fill balloons with water and food coloring to make them look like marbles. They will eventually burst and make it look like Santa exploded on your doorstep.
A little known Christmas tale actually involves Santa hypnotizing a large number of bears at the North pole. These Christmas bears are capable of staring directly into your soul.
Just Plain Horrible Gingerbread Men
Baking isn’t for everyone. What you want to make and what comes out is often quite different. These gingerbread men led a cruel and short existence.
From a distance, this Christmas tree ornament of baby Jesus looks like someone has hung a severed big toe or thumb on a tree. In general, severed body parts should not be put up as holiday decorations, but exceptions to this rule exist.
This…Um…This Is A Fail
So look, we’re all looking at the same picture and we’re all thinking the same things. There’s no reason for us to make dirty jokes here because you’ve already made them in your mind.
That’s Not Where Christmas Trees Come From
This Christmas looking dog is on display at a mall. It looks as though a Christmas tree is actually the dog’s tail. Either that or this is part of a weird Christmas tale that claims Christmas trees come out of dogs’ rear ends.
The image of Santa Claus that is popular today was actually developed by the Coca-Cola company. The real Santa, the one who actually exists, is actually half man half horse. He is a centaur creature but that aspect has been downplayed in modern mythology.
Strange Santa Pants
Evidently, the person who designed these pants felt that they needed a little bit more Christmas cheer. So they decided to place a couple of Santa’s right on the rear end.
Stripper Frosty The Snowman
This photo of Frosty the Snowman was taken after he had fallen deep in debt due to his troubling gingerbread addiction. He was forced to take up stripping at a local gentleman’s club to help pay back the money he owed.
No Pooping Until Christmas
These kids’ pajamas have the words “Don’t open till Christmas” on the back flap pocket. We’re not sure why this is “Heather’s pick” but some of us will need to poop before the holidays, Heather.
Drunken Angel
This little holiday figurine lets us all know that boxes of white wine are served in heaven. As is abundantly clear, this Angel has drank her fair share already.
On The 12th Day Of Christmas, My True Love Peeped On The Women’s Changing Room
This is actually from a “12 days of Christmas” book for children. It appears there is a rather creepy man atop the fitting room spying on women changing. That’s good to have in a kid’s book, right?
Spelling Is Subjective
It seems like someone misspelled the word “Merry” with these holiday decorations. Either that or these decorations belong to someone named Mr. Rey.
Someone thought to themselves that these decorations would look nice on a local street. What it looks like is that someone has hung up giant underpants on every block. Not saying that’s bad or wrong but not exactly in the holiday spirit.
Not Every Product Needs To Be Holiday Themed
Not every product on the shelves needs to be made holiday-themed. We don’t need or want Christmas tree plungers and we’re not certain how we would hold on to them while in use, anyway.
Many of us have heard the holiday story of Frosty the Snowman. Precious few people have heard about Frosty’s vengeful twin who is angry that no one ever crafted a body for him.
These Trees Are Really Excited For Christmas
Putting Christmas lights on palm trees can create an interesting visual. It looks like these trees are really, really excited for the holidays and bursting with Christmas spirit.
The Christmas Tree That Is Constantly Trying To Grab You
Someone has made this Christmas tree out of blown up latex gloves. It’s a Christmas tree that looks like it’s always trying to grab you and make you one of its ornaments.
These snowmen are just frolicking around in the snow and no one seems to think anything’s wrong with their behavior. Just leave them be, they will all be melted by morning anyway.
Strange Santa Decoration
This is an interesting holiday decoration in Virginia. At night time, the Santa looks as though he is putting down a present. In the daytime, he is standing up. Then at other times, it looks as though Santa is doing something else entirely.
They Had To Have Known…
As has been covered throughout this article, candles can look very phallic. You need to be really careful when choosing them as a holiday symbol. You might think to yourself, some bells or berries would look great underneath this candle, but we suggest running it by some local teenagers before you make a final decision.
Possibly Unintended Message Via Wrapping Fail
Wrapping paper with words on it can be arranged in such a way that you accidentally create an unintended message. Was this intended? Or was it by accident? It’s a holiday mystery!
