When it comes to decorating for Christmas, it can start to feel like everything is about pomp and circumstance, and if you're not on board you must be a grinch. If humor is more your speed around the holidays, we’ve got you covered with a list full of amusing Christmas decorations to put a smile on your face and give your guests a chuckle.
This list is full of comic relief for the Christmas season with highbrow and chic decorations. Make your guests laugh out loud before they even walk in the door with a silly inflatable lawn decoration, or giggle about memories of the past sipping hot cocoa from your Yeti Figural mugs. And of course, there are some pop culture references from classic movies like The Christmas Story and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation that'll make the whole family laugh out loud. Get scrolling and fill your cart for a Christmas full of cheer and chuckles.
Let's kick it off with custom stockings featuring your favorite people. Consider snapping photos of your peeps while they're decorating the Christmas tree or singing along to their favorite Christmas carol to make it feel extra special.
The iconic leg lamp from A Christmas Story is now available for you to display at home this holiday season. If you really want to re-create the movie, put it front and center in your window so all the neighbors can see it when they walk by.
Even now, you can probably hear Macaulay Culkin saying this iconic line from Home Alone. Drape this banner across your mantel, and your friends will instantly laugh and then beg to watch the movie again.
Bob Ross first taught you "The Joy Painting," and now he can be a part of your Christmas decor as a nutcracker. This is guaranteed to get guests laughing and then talking about how to paint happy clouds.
Be sure to have some cookies with a mug of hot tea, and use a quirky dessert plate from the artist Emily Maude to celebrate everything from Christmas cats to a partridge in a pear tree.
We've all been there moaning and groaning over entangled lights. Well, Pottery Barn has taken it a step further by designing National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation's iconic tangled string lights. Why fight it—simply make it a part of the design, right?
When you set up your bar cart for the next Christmas shindig, have this comically serious bulldog wine holder on display. Your friends will chuckle when they grab a bottle (and they'll ask where you bought it, too).
You can't help but grin while looking at this adorable Yeti mug. Use its top hat to keep your tea warm while it steeps, and order a set so the whole family can enjoy the Christmas fun.
If you can't get enough silly gnome Christmas decor, then a gnome tree skirt is exactly what you need. Be sure to decorate your tree with red and white stripes and the buffalo check to play off the tree skirt.
Instead of hanging a wreath, put up a welcome sign with a little tongue-in-cheek sass. It also has some farmhouse vibes and can add a modern and silly touch to your holiday decor.
Lastly, you can't go wrong with a funny ornament, and there's something about an animal getting ready for some "me" time that makes us smile every time.
