It’s that time of year again. What better way to spread Christmas cheer than pranking those you hold dear? These seasonal pranks are as inspiring as they are heartbreaking. Enjoy these gifts that keep on giving!
1) Mistletoe
This is the ultimate office prank to pull around the holidays. All it takes is a quick trip to Dollar General and you can make sure your coworker feels the Christmas cheer.
2) Dollar Store Spree
Another dollar store surprise coming at you! When this kid told his grandma, jokingly, that he wanted 100 gifts from the Dollar Tree for Christmas, she accepted the challenge.
3) Had Me in the First Half
There aren’t many people out there that want a pan for Christmas, but there are fewer that want socks. Especially when it was hinted that they were getting a new iPhone.
4) Never Mess With Christmas
This is golden! When he was a Debbie Downer and told his wife to stop celebrating Christmas before Thanksgiving, this wife spread the Christmas cheer all over his truck.
5) Smells Better Than Cedar
This really messes with the alphabetical order that was set before this tree was made. It may not be a cruel prank, but it does mean that someone will be reorganizing Januaray 1st.
6) She Missed the Concept
This mom is either super funny or completely missed the point in Secret Santa. She wrote her own name and thought the person that she bought the gift for was the surprise.
7) Scared the Neighbors
This is a great way to decorate if you want to give your neighbors and anyone that drives by a heart attack. We applaud them for their creativity though it may give you anxiety.
8) Rainbow Dreams
These sisters have the funniest Christmas prank war going on. They try to get each other the worst gifts possible. We can’t decide if this gift is a complete win or a complete fail.
9) Sorry Your Party’s So Lame
This is great improvising if you’re caught in a tight spot. Not only does Jesus’ gift have a Happy Birthday on it, but it’s tied in black ribbon that has no business being on a Christmas gift.
10) The Old Switcheroo
The roles have been reversed. Each year, these siblings try to get each other the funniest troll gifts and this is the biggest winner so far. This time, the batteries are all that is included.
11) Endorsed by Granny Smith
This is an apple watch, that is true. He actually asked for an Apple Watch for Christmas and he got one…kind of. This is a great way to get off of someone’s list without breaking the bank.
12) Music Like Never Before
Another funny pun that will make sure you get the hottest gifts of the season, if only in name. She will surely never use these because, who actually eats beets?
13) The “Big” One
You remember as a kid when there was that one gift that you had to open with your siblings? You just knew it was a gaming console or playhouse. Not in this case.
14) It’s Still $120
There’s nothing to complain about here. While she did expect the $2,000 that was stamped on top, what she got was $120. Which we believe is much more appropriate.
15) Now That’s a Snowman
This will make sure your neighbors and passerbys do a double take when looking at your yard. They finished it just in time too because that snow is dirty and melting.
16) Kid Doesn’t Even Speak English
This Russian kid wanted nothing more than an XBox for Christmas. But his family knew how to get him eggactly what he asked for. Meet the EggsBox 360, making kids cry since 2010.
17) On Christmas Morning
This time the prank was played on the adults who need nothing more than a cup of coffee before they open presents. Better luck tomorrow!
18) Six Foot! Get It?
This young girl asked for a six foot teddy bear for Christmas because she wanted one that would forever be bigger than her. Well, her dad thought it would be funny to get one that had six feet instead!
19) Never Trust a Welder
Merry Christmas from this welder. He thought it would be funny to send his gifts welded shut which would cause endless trouble for recepients. We approve of this method.
20) Enjoy Your Trip
This is a very Christmassy bathroom. But that doesn’t mean that this family wanted the toilet wrapped up. That’s not comfortable. What a naughty elf. He did this before Elf on the Shelf was cool.
21) A Little Satire
These parents always promised their kids that they love them all equally. Well, that explains this large stocking for little Rosie. Perhaps Rosie is the dog?
22) Never Reach the Tree
This is perfect for Christmas morning if you can get it all done while the kids are asleep. They will surely be so excited to see the gifts that the will make the worst mess out of their room. Joke’s on you then.
23) He Made a Promise
This dad said that if his kids didn’t behave, they’d get broccoli for Christmas. And he kept that promise. They started out with large boxes labeled “1” and opened until they got down to this.
24) The Skicifixion
These are actually skiis for his dad, but he thought it would be funny to freak his dad out just a little by wrapping them like they were an Easter gift.
25) It’s Not a Lie
This is cruel. The best part of getting scratch offs is actually scratching them off. Poor Chris got two dollars out of it. Maybe he’ll get lucky and buy a big winner.
26) Let It Go, Kid
This girl asked for “Frozen stuff” for Christmas. Of course, her parents couldn’t resist handing her frozen peas, hoping she got the joke. She was not amused in the slightest.
27) Where’s Adam?
Steve Buscemi never ceases to amuse us. But that doesn’t mean we want to find him sitting on our fireplace. And is that gord on the left Bill Murray? Things are ’bout to get crazy.
28) From You Daughter
Though this mom was disappointed when she opened this Christmas gift from her daughter, she wasn’t surprised. This is who she raised and she’s quite proud of her.
29) Only Choose One?
This is brilliant. Though if they get to keep them all, they could call or look them up online. Though that is just enough of an inconvenience to make it all worth it.
30) How Lovely Are Thy Branches
This is how this woman shoed up to an ugly Christmas sweater party and of course, she won. She went all out and even made sure her hair was on point, shaped around a styrofoam cone.
31) Maybe Next Year
This teen daughter wanted an iPad for Christmas and her dad couldn’t resist taking advantage of the request. Of course, it’s an Eye Pad Maxi. Even better than the next gen.
32) Now Get to Work
Although this isn’t real, it is a great gift for those kids who aren’t the biggest fans of getting their chores done every day. Maybe it’s a little hint of encouragement.
33) She’s Coming for You
This poor girl is not going to want to open that doll. She’ll probably steer clear and we don’t blame her. It’s not her fault her dad is a major troll.
34) Left This at School
Yep! That’s duct taped flour and a load of one dollar bills. This doesn’t looks suspicious at all, but if they really wanted to prank him, they would have left it in his locker at school.
35) Hang That Mistletoe
This beard is everything that Christmas should be. In fact, if you have a beard and you don’t spend December like this, then you are not doing it right.
36) Bling Bling
His wife wanted some nice jewelry for Christmas and this is what she is getting. It’s a pretty mug, but if she wanted jewelry, she is going to be sorely disappointed.
37) Not a Cat
This is actually an iTunes gift card wrapped in this beautiful paper creation for this guy’s brother. He also gave the people at WinRar the greatest gift by buying it.
38) Our Favorite Reference
This is a sweet gesture by a sweet family member. While SpongeBob references are the bomb, we hope this kid also got other gifts. That sweater is pretty lit so let’s hope that was one of them.
39) The OG Trolls
When Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal invited Ryan Reynolds to an ugly sweater party, he showed up. The catch is that there was no ugly Christmas sweater party.
40) Job Well Done
This dad is so lazy that he told his kids he put the tree up at his house and this is what they came home to. At least their mom’s tree is dressed to the nines.
41) It’s Just Cola
This is a funny gift and a funny way to wrap it. The only thing that would make it better is if there were silly socks and toys in those bottles instead of liquid.
42) What He Really Needs
This kid was told his momma was sending him exactly what he needed for Christmas. When he saw that iPhone box, he was so excited. Then he opened it.
43) Think I’ll Pass
Want to freak out your Christmas guests while showing off your talents? Try out this Christmas scoprion. Takes a turky, sausage, crab legs, and voila! They will be amazed.
44) How in the World?
We don’t know how this happened or how they are getting those presents down but we are indeed impressed. Maybe the whole thing lifts down into the closet?
45) Not the Worst Idea
Everyone loves chocolate covered strawberries because they are the bomb. But not everyone is a fan of chocolate covered peppers. If you do this, make sure to add the strawberry greens so no one knows.
46) Three Carrot
This wife was expecting three carats and instead got three carrots. We don’t feel too bad because a few Christmases ago, she got her forever ring from him.
47) A Happy Twist
This is a happy surprise. We are so used to seeing what looks like a good gift turn out bad so it’s nice to see this accounting book turn out to be a Kindle.
48) That’s a Lot of Work
This is the msot effort we’ve ever seen in a Christmas wrapping. First they stuffed it in this welded contraption. Then they wrapped it in newspaper and duct tape. Then they froze it, stuffed it in a bag, and wrapped it. Merry Christmas!
49) Good Luck
We don’t know what this person is getting for Christmas but there’s a good chance they won’t receive it for months. These things aren’t exactly easy.
50) No Pennies Though
When their mom asked for loafers for Christmas, these kids delivered with these beautiful bread creations. Lucky for them, they got them delivered before they molded.
51) Guess What it Is
You got it! Inside this wrapping paper, is wrapping paper. Why? Because it’s the gift that never ends. You know what they can wrap with that wrapping paper? More wrapping paper.
52) Not at All Disgusting
This is quite the spectacle to behold. It isn’t real, so don’t worry about that. But for those with a weak stomach or a scowl on their face, this gift will surely give you a few laughs when they open it.
53) He is Talented
We have to admit that this husband is super talented. He made this penguin for his wife and she isn’t going to want to open it! But inside is a new tablet, so she’ll probably love that even more!
54) Merry Quackmas
This isn’t a nightmare, but it does bring a loud sigh from the lips of whoever had their room taken over by ducks. Maybe next year there will be 100 to find. Happy hunting.
55) I’ve Been Waiting
This uncle thought it would be funny to put this gingerbread boy in bed with family members on Christmas Eve. There’s nothing creepy about that at all.
56) It Does the Job
This wife wanted lazer hair removal for Christmas and her husband knew exactly what to get her. He made her a special razor that was also a lazer. Can she really be disappointed?
57) We Can Relate
This kid can’t seem to keep a pair of earbuds. He loses them, breaks them, and leaves them everywhere. So this year for Christmas, he got twelve pairs and he has never been more excited.
58) The Long Con
This aunt is genius! She spent years giving her nieces and nephews hope before making them bite into a bar of soap that looked like the chocolates that she had been sending. We are so proud!
59) If You Love Instant Ramen
This deserves context. Inside this box is nothing. There is no PS4, but it will soon have a big bunch of instant ramen inside s hsi friend can survive the last week of the year. What a nice guy.
60) Guess What It Is
This box may look intimidating, but inside, you’ll find a gift card taped to the bottom. That isn’t exactly disappointing but it is quite the chore to open it and find the smallest gift inside.
61) If You Don’t Get It
If you don’t get this, you’re too young for whatever is in this box. New Kids on the Block were everything back in hte ’80s and ’90s, so this wrapping job is sure to please.
62) Kaboom
Here’s how this goes down. You feel a balloon with glitter, blow it up as much as you can, then wrap it in a tight box. Make sure that whoever opens it will make it pop!
63) Just Kidding
These bags will save your cookies from the lazy and disappoint every vegan in the house. Take them to work for a “healthy” snack or make holiday gift bags that get thrown in the trash.
64) I Didn’t Do It
Elf of the Shelf is getting extra naughty this year. He painted the kids’ faces while they slept and that will surely teach the to be lighter sleepers. What will he be up to next year?
65) The Cook’s Nightmare
This is the worst for whoever is cooking Christmas dinner. They had enough work to do already and now someone actually went to the trouble to make their job so much harder.
66) Good Luck
Want to make sure the anticipation isn’t lost? Buy a bag of zip ties and get to work on the worst and best presents that your little ones have to open.
67) Passive Agressive
We’re not sure about the whole story here but if this is an angry roommates who is tired of Alyssa’s messes, we feel sorry for her. However, if it’s a simple joke about someone without any friends, well that’s also sad.
68) Name Her Tina
This is actually a good gift. Adopting an alpaca in your name is a gift that will keep on giving. It actually looks like the guy on the right is pretty pleased with his new alpaca.
69) Inside Joke, Still Funny
A few months before Christmas, this mom had a little too much to drink and decided that she couldn’t get up and go home. Why? Because Dr. Seuss had her feet. And the joke continues.
70) An Expensive Tree
This took more work and more money than it would have to go buy a tree. But then again, office pranks are always a breed of their own.
71) It’s Not Even One TB
Yes, this would appear to be keys to a Mercedes. But that, in fact, is a common misconception as this is a flash drive that will surely foll any teen at Christmas time.
72) Just a Little Cash
This guy wanted a “little cash” for Christmas and hoped it would go a long way when his parents got generous. But as you can see, his face likely mirrors Mr. Franklin’s at this point.
73) Sequel Coming Soon
This girl wanted a Frozen doll for Christmas and her parents delivered. They spent a good amount of time with a bucket making this happen and I have to say that I I can’t stop shaking our head.
74) So Close
This has happened to the best of us. But in this case, it’s on purpose. It’s a plot twist, but you never know who will show up spreading Christmas cheer during this time of year.
75) My Crazy Niece
For some reason, there are certain family members that don’t appreciate you adding googly eyes to all the pictures in the house during Christmas dinner. Their loss.
