It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Or at least it should be.
If you’re an adult, you may still experience the magic, but you also have to do all the work. And every now and then we slip up and make a big, festive faux pas.
These photos are so bad they may just make you feel better about your own slip-ups.
Umm, thanks Grandma . . . ?

We think Grandma was trying to go for Christmas swans, but we’ll leave it up to you what you really see. At least she tried to be fancy for the settings for Christmas dinner.
Are you ready to see more Christmas fails? Click continue reading for the reveal!
Happy Holidays, from Jabba the Snowman
Whoops! That didn’t work out so well.
And while it certainly doesn’t help to hold the pan like that, we’re thinking this can be saved with some Star Wars figurines and a Santa hat.
Or just work with melted Frosty and remind the kiddies that life is all about disappointment and the things you love eventually melting away. Kids love that.
Festive turds
Huh, doesn’t seem as festive. Not sure why.
So are we really going with the fecal decor for Christmas in this mall? Is there any other way to interpret this?
At least it gave people a holiday laugh. But as a tree, it’s a big, stinky, mysteriously sparkly fail.
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas (except for Allison)
Umm…those aren’t reindeer
Ok, even if reindeer can’t really fly, they’re at least strong enough to pull a sleigh. Bunnies? Not so much.
Did Lindt think no one would notice, or were reindeer just too hard to make?
At least you can save the leftovers for Easter and no one will be the wiser.
I saw mommy killing Santa Claus
Yep, nailed it!
There’s nothing that says “Happy Holidays!” like a festive front door bloodbath.
Think of the stories you can tell the neighborhood children about what happened and why they need to be good all year.
Fa la la la, la la la fart
So those AREN’T butts?
Ok, maybe it’s the angle. Or the lighting.
Or maybe you bought reindeer that look like people bending over pantsless.
But the prettiest sight to see, is the… Wait
Holiday baking fail
Holiday baking fails are the best – at least when they’re not your own.
This one’s pretty impressive because everything is utterly unidentifiable. Like, it’s not even a melted-looking gingerbread man. It’s just a blob.
Merry Blobmas! We hope they at least tasted good!
Hey kids, have you ever heard the story of how Santa lost a finger?
Ok, so maybe that’s baby Jesus? But then who’s that behind him looking all creepy?
And we just have one question for the designers of this “precious” ornament. Did you mean for it to look like a thumb?
We’re not feelin’ the Christmas spirit here.
Ummmmmm……
Did grandma buy these at that “bookstore” near the truckstop?
We’re just going to back away from the rude jokes and leave you to make your own.
All we’ll say is that those are some awfully big “candles.”
Santaur
Times are tough. Maybe Santa couldn’t afford the reindeer this year.
And sometimes you just can’t find good help and have to do it all yourself.
Or maybe this is just one heck of a weird ornament.
Misplaced Santas
Just in case you aren’t flexible enough to see Santa adorning your rear end, he’ll be there every time you sit down – staring at you. And he’ll probably be wondering why you’re wearing pictures of him on your butt.
Where on the naughty list do you even end up for that?
When you’re done with the judgment though, you can just stand up. And then he’ll be a weird upside-down knee Santa.
Who the heck designed these? Drunk elves?
Open as needed
What? And WHY?
Do these things pass through any kind of focus group?
Do we really need to say that you shouldn’t wait until Christmas to open in case of an emergency?
Maybe it’s time to retire the “classics”
Apparently, these have been around for a long time and many a commenter remembered seeing one at their grandparents’ house.
But that makes them 0% less creepy.
Seriously, who was the model for this angel?
This display rang in the Asstmchri season
Merry Christmas, Mr. Rey
So, not only do you misspell the word (and we get how it happens, they were likely made in a non-English-speaking country), but they make it all the way to production AND shipping!
And then people display them on the salesroom floor?
People – it’s not a hard word to spell.
Tidy lighties
We’re not sure who designed them or who hung them up and thought “yep, job well done, doesn’t look like panties at all,” but we have some questions for them.
We’re sure many people passed under the charming holiday underwear and were none the wiser.
The problem is that once you see it, you can’t unsee it.
Frosty’s evil twin
Well, there’s only one thing to do when your holiday Pinterest fail turns out like this.
Make up a story about Frosty’s evil brother, Shnosty.
A really clever parent would include something about children having to be really good or else risk having their presents stolen by Shnosty.
See, blackmail can be festive!
A VERY Merry Christmas
There’s not much to say here other than maybe you should put your giant Christmas orgy somewhere more private.
There are ways to decorate palm trees with lights so they don’t look quite so…phallic.
It’s just that people choose not to.
Enjoy explaining the display to your kids!
There’s nothing like a latex glove to say “Happy Holidays!”
There’s no rule that says a fail can’t also be funny and clever.
It’s just that we’ll also be seeing this surgical glove tree in our nightmares, beckoning us closer until it either strangles us or performs some sort of invasive exam.
Good thing this was taken 7 years ago or else people would be mad about the misuse of PPE.
Snow play
We don’t think it takes a dirty mind to see what’s wrong with this.
These snowmen could have been positioned in plenty of other ways that didn’t make it look so…risque.
We do realize snowmom and snowbaby are using snowdad as a sled…but did no one stand back and think “that’s not what I see here” before this went into production?
Somehow, the motion makes it less pervy
We get it. At night, Santa moves and it looks like he’s putting down a gift.
Alas, in the daytime, it does not look like that.
Luckily, most kids won’t see it like adults do.
Freaky Christmas Bears
Intentional or wrapping fail?
First of all, whoever made this wrapping paper needed to introduce some strategic spacing between words.
But our real question is: did a teenager wrap this or did someone only realize what they did after they taped it all up?
Granted, for many, this would be a holiday win.
Rudolph has had it with the song
Don’t you hate when holiday eating makes your clothes feel tight?
Okay, so she didn’t exactly overindulge so much as accidentally buy a child’s size sweater.
Or maybe the real fail was assuming this came in an adult size at all.
Looks like someone will be going topless at the ugly sweater party.
To wrap a gift for Christmas
She didn’t see it when she bought it
It’s definitely a white Christmas
