People's Funniest Holiday Decoration Disasters


If there's one way that we can go about keeping that holiday spirit alive amidst a historically difficult holiday season, it's to celebrate people's most memorable holiday decoration disasters. All kinds of fails can occur when you're trying to get the house all tidied up and sorted out for the holiday. Maybe the tree ends up looking like it's right out of the iconic Charlie Brown's Christmas Tree scene. Or, maybe you bring a seemingly promising tree home only to realize that it's been infested by an army of nightmarish spiders.

After a week-long trip to see family, we came back to shredded stockings, chewed up light strands, a toppled tree, and a family of squirrels feasting on popcorn. #MerryChristmasYaFilthyAnimals #DecorationDisaster

Text - Text - honofhons 00 @patriciaoak Replying to @jimmyfallon Oh, the year we decorated our tree so beautifully - best ever. And a couple of days later, something was moving on the branches. And we realized that our beautiful tree was infested with tiny spiders. Tree went in the trash and we found spiders for weeks. #DecorationsDisaster

Text - Event - Desh the Halls 000 @iandoescher Replying to @jimmyfallon When my parents bought a new tree topper in the mid-90s, my brother and I instantly started calling it the Golden Boner of Christmas. When I had my own kids, my parents passed it down to me. #DecorationDisaster

Text - Event - Samantha Davidson 000 @Sallyjo25 Replying to @jimmyfallon One year, the star broke, do instead of replacing it, the tree topper became a Peewee Hermin Doll in a Betty Boop dress... We still use it 10 years later. #DecorationDisaster

I think it took 4 or 5 tries before they received an unbroken ornament. How very 2020 of them. #DecorationDisaster

Text - Text - jane, not plain @SoPlainlyJane 0o0 Replying to @jimmyfallon I made ornaments with my kids and they had to be "melted" in the oven. I over melted them. Santa looked demonic. The holly looked like weed. There were a lot of tears. #DecorationDisaster

Text - Text - Lindsay Nixon @LindsayPounders 00 Replying to @jimmyfallon My dad forgot the Christmas tree was on top of the van and pulled into the garage, effectively ripping the pine needles off of half the tree. Two years in a row #DecorationDisaster

Text - A Zingle BelI Raq28 @raflocruz99 000 Replying to @jimmyfallon We wanted to buy an LED light up star for our tree. Every store near us & out of town we went to didn't have them in stock at the time, so we just bought a glitter covered star & put Christmas lights around it to make it "light up", making it our own LED star #DecorationDisaster
