Christmas time has a lot of moving parts. There are decorations to hang. Presents to buy.
Party planning to do. There is also baking and cooking. So, thereโs a lot of room for things to go wrong.
But that isnโt always a bad thing. Sometimes things can go hilariously wrong. And that can make for some pretty special Christmas memories.
Here are 60 hilarious Christmas fails that actually made the holidays better:
1) The Attempt
This person attempted to fully wrap their gift. But they ran out of wrapping paper. They then improvised like a champion.
2) A Nice Shirt
What should I get grandpa? โGet him a nice shirt,โ is what youโre told. Well, that almost always works. Almost.
Not only did grandpa already have this shirt, he was wearing it when he unwrapped it.

3) Grandmaโs Jumper
Grandma thought she was buying herself a nice subtle Christmas jumper. You know, something thatโs not too loud or tacky. Something tasteful. But she didnโt look at it close enough.
4) Linus and Patty
Patty and Linus are a thing now. The wrapping paper says so. They need to get a room.
Gift I receivedโฆwrapped in a such a way that it appears as if Linus and Patty are getting it on in front of Marcie.

5) Christmas Flat
It was supposed to be a nice Christmas getaway. But they werenโt getting anywhere. Except in. They are definitely staying in for Christmas.

6) Christmas Morning
These pups sure do love Christmas. Maybe a little bit too much. They really love the whole getting presents things.

7) The Menu
This guy ordered food to make a delicious Christmas meal. He thought he was buying a bag of Brussel sprouts. He got one sprout.
Please note: when ordering sprouts from @Tesco online, quantity 1 does not mean 1 bag of sprouts. It means 1 sprout. Thank you and good night pic.twitter.com/gATF5jGRpj

8) Elf Puzzle
Grandma loves puzzles. And maybe even Star Wars. But she thought Yoda was an elf.
9) Next Year
At the stroke of midnight on 2021, this child is no longer loved. He had about seven days of love after getting this card. After that, it was over.
I learned this morning that my parentsโ unconditional love expires on New Years Eve. pic.twitter.com/GpQbdaPwVs

10) Nightmare Decorations
Nutcrackers are the creepiest of Chrismas decorations. And these people had giant ones. Paired with fogโฆ super spooky.
We left some Christmas decorations out in the driveway last night which I just remembered when I turned on my car this morning. I just about crapped my pants.

11) Merry Violent Christmas
This was supposed to be a nice Christmas card photo shoot. But it turned into the most aggressive Christmas card I have ever seen. I love it.
12) The Ugliest Tree
This year, they hit the mother load. Itโs the ugliest tree out of all the ugly trees. Charlie Brownโs got nothing on this tree.
My wife and I have a tradition of picking out the ugliest tree at the tree farm. This year we hit a grand slam.

13) Christmas Hostage
USPS had this guyโs gift held back. But thatโs a pretty sweet cow. I wouldnโt even be mad.
14) Christmas Card Gone Wrong
We always take Christmas card photos with the ones that we love. So this woman wanted to include her sheep. She really loves those sheep.
15) Tattoo Marker
This 6-year-old got tattoo markers for Christmas. She disappeared for a half hour and came back looking like this. No one can get it to come off so, sheโs a little concerned.
16) Ho
This is fancy wrapping paper gone wrong. Itโs always so alluring. So sparkley. But it always ends in disaster.

19) When You Know Dad
You know this isnโt really a bad thing. Dad looks like he really likes that shirt. He could probably use two.
20) Christmas Tits
Merry Christmas! Tits? What the heck does this wrapping paper actually say?
21) Christmas Photo
This cat was highly insulted that no one got her a pair of matching Christmas pajamas. Not only that, but they didnโt even ask her to be in the photo. She wasnโt about to let these indignities stand.
22) Decorative Trees
Dad made these guys in his workshop. Theyโre supposed to be โdecorative trees.โ They sure do look like something.
23) $50 B0ttle of Soy Sauce
His sister-in-law always buys him some Japanese whiskey for Christmas. This time she didnโt read the label so well. Itโs a $50 bottle of soy sauce.
24) Tom Loves Christmas
This is Tom. He really likes Christmas. This is Tomโs first Christmas. You can tell heโs really excited about it.
25) Same Present
These are two of the same exact gifts. His girlfriend bought him the same gift that he bought her. Now thatโs love.
26) Wrapping
This kid is real serious about wrapping presents. Heโs real secretive about it. He even put up a sign.
27) Christmas Day
What a lovely Christmas Day. Perfect for staying in and being cozy. Especially since itโs pretty deep out there.
28) Constipated Santa
This Santa looks like heโs constipated. And pooping out children. Not a great design.
29) What You Order vs. What You Get
This person ordered this gorgeous full tall rainbow tree. But thatโs not what this person got. You have to be careful where you order from.
30) Murder Paper
This is wrapping paper was finger painted by a child. But it looks like a scary murder scene instead. Not very jolly.

31) Sexy Toy Christmas
Someone got this for their 80-year-old father. He quickly tucked it away after opening it. When his daugther asked him why itโs because he said he thought it was a sex toy.
32) Buttface
This gives a whole new meaning to the world buttface. The faces on those reindeer look like butts. Some pancake looking ass cheeks.
33) Playstation Controller
His parents are in their 70s. They got him a PlayStation5 controller for Christmas. He doesnโt own a PlayStation 5.

34) No One Gets It
Apparently, no one has seen A Christmas Story in this neigborhood. They just think they have a creep living next door. Who puts a โweird, gross legโ on display.
I put a Christmas Story lamp in my front window and not one of my neighbors recognized it. Several have stopped to ask why I have a โweird, gross legโ on display.

35) Taking a Knee
Can you guess what this is supposed to be? Itโs a solider kneeling. But it dosenโt really look like that.
36) The Magnifying Glass
This was a Christmas present gone terrible wrong. They got him a magnifying glass. Within hours, the lawn was on fire.

37) What You Got
On the left is what she got. On the right, is what she ordered. Looks like a drunken mall Santa.
38) Light Up
That may not be the best sign. You donโt want to give people ideas. Like the kid with the magnifying glass.
39) The Letters
It might be time to retire this towel. Itโs missing a few letters. About three of them.
40) Cat in the Wall
This cat got stuck in the wall on Christmas. They were finally able to get the cat out. And then he tried to get back in.
41) Gingerbread Contest
This person disappoints every year at his in-laws gingerbread house competition. Thatโs OK. Thatโs not gingerbread anyway.
42) The Drone
These kids got a drone for Christmas. Now itโs in her hair. Good luck getting that thing out.
43) Clothes for Christmas
Getting clothes for Christmas as a kid is just sad in itself. But getting a shirt that you already have AND that youโre already wearing. Thatโs just too much.
The disappointment in my face after getting the same shirt Iโm wearing for Christmas when I was 11

44) Engineer Wrapping
At 23, he can rebuild an engine, fabricate his own parts, and drive anything with a steering wheel. But this is how he wraps Christmas gifts. Not great.
45) Travelling
This couldnโt be more accurate. It perfectly sums up travelling with a toddler at Christmas. Good times.
46) Upsidedown Ornament
She was making the perfect ornament. Only to realize she was painting it upside down. She still has to put it on the tree.
47) Expectation vs. Reality
Itโs always fun to look up cool recipes during the holidays. They just donโt always come out the way we expect them to. Like these Santa cupcakes.
48) Building
Some people just donโt have the patience for gingerbread house building. This person gave it a go though. Itโs more like a gingerbread pile.
49) Holiday Cookies
Yeah, but what holiday. Halloween? Are these Halloween cookies?
50) Secret Santa
Itโs nice when you have a Secret Santa that really knows you. But this Secret Santa might have known him just a little too well. Everyone at the party went wild over it.
Buddy at work secret Santa party legit just got gifted the same shirt he is wearing!

51) Nipple Cookies
This person accidentally made Christmas Boobs. Or nipple cookies. Ingredients matter.
I used chocolate bells instead of kisses. Is it me or did I just make Christmas boobs?

52) The Christmas Card
This was supposed to be a really cute Christmas card. It started out that way. It didnโt end that way though.

53) Brother and Boyfriend
Something just isnโt quite right here. Is it supposed to be brother and โHISโ boyfriend? Otherwise, this card is illegal in most states.
54) Christmas Ice Marbles
Here we have another reality vs. expectation scenario. They tried to make Christmas ice marbles. How did they screw that up?
55) Self Destructive Christmas
This person almost destoryed their Christmas present. Thatโs a bummer. Should be able to tape it.
56) Air Freshener
He bought his wife perfume last Christmas. Now itโs being used as bathroom air freshener. Tough break.
57) Dog Puke
Picture a beautiful Christmas morning. And your house is covered in puke. Someone bought this family a box of fudge. The dogs sniffed it out and opened it. Then puked all over the house.
58) Not Amused
Dad is NOT amused with his Christmas present. He looks pretty pissed off actually. His Christmas wasnโt a very merry one.
59) The Gift
This was someoneโs โbigโ Christmas gift. They also have a puppy. The puppy got to it first.
60) Sibling Gift Exchange
This is a VERY accurate description of a sibling gift exchange. One of them is broke the other isnโt. One of them gets a box, the other an iPhone.
