The holidays are a time full of activity, from gifts, to cooking and decoration. Even the simple task of bringing in a tree can be full of accidents and pitfalls, so it shouldn’t be surprising that some folks just end up getting pretty unlucky just in time for Christmas.
We’ve gathered some of the funniest Christmas fails from around the internet to, perhaps, bring you some joy this holiday season. So get comfortable as you scroll through, count your blessings that this isn’t you, upvote your favorites and be sure to share your thoughts in the comments below.
#22 Boss Canceled Our Christmas Party Cause This Broke The Bank

I found out we had canceled the yearly Christmas party / bonus. A multi store owner within a large corporate chain food company allowed our management to instead do this for the staff of say 60 employees per store. Upon completing this project along with a few other miscellaneous gifts (donuts, Doritos, and [get this] oranges,) he told us this gesture was “breaking the bank.” Love it here.

#23 I Was Working In The ICU During Christmas Dinner. My Family Sent Me Pictures Of The Feast And Were Saving Me Leftovers. Today I Received Those Leftovers

Not even a bun or a measly potato. I’ve missed a lot of family dinners in the past and usually they send me ham, turkey and plenty of sides. So it seems I was an afterthought this year. I know I should be grateful I got something but it still feels pretty bad.

#24 Surprised A Mobile Home Park With A 10ft Christmas Tree And It Was Stolen The Next Day

I spent a few years of my childhood at this mobile home park and it was pretty rough. Now that I’m older and am more connected to the community I was able to get a bunch of stuff donated and held a little giveback event this weekend. One of the things I was most stoked about was this giant 10ft Christmas tree someone chopped down for us. I got it cleared with the park manager and I put a bunch of cinder blocks on the stand thinking that’d prevent it from being messed with. Came back the next morning to add a few more ornaments and it was gone :(
I’m pretty sad but trying to prove to this community that we can’t be knocked down! Trying to brainstorm something else to bring back like some cinder blocks and shape them into a small igloo like tree and paint some rocks to look like ornaments but I’m worried that might not be as cute as I’m imaging.. The other idea is another tree and something else extremely heavy..? we can’t really install anything permanent and working with a limited budget/not really wanting to ask people to donate after all they’ve done already. Let me know your ideas!

#32 Update: We Bought A Quest 3 From Walmart And Opened It On Christmas. There Was A Broken Quest 2 Inside

We dug through the trash and found our receipt. We brought the quest to Walmart and the store manager came out and said there was nothing he could do. He would not even replace it with another unit. We told him we don't want money we just want what we paid for but he just kept telling us to call corporate.
We called corporate and they said they can't override a manager's decision. I posted on X(FKAT) and meta support reached out and urged us to open a support ticket. So we're waiting on their response now

#36 Winco! Ruining Christmas Suppers Everywhere!!

Went to Winco 3 days before Christmas to get all the supper fixings. I hosted Xmas Eve supper for about 15 people. I pull the rolls out to brown them in the oven before serving and just look!!! The date even says Dec 29!!!
My sister who is hosting Xmas supper today grabbed the bread she got from Winco to make the stuffing and guess what?! It was also moldy and and not past the sell by date!! A different type of Winco bread at a differnt Winco store even!
Guess what I will never be buying at Winco again?!
