Look, we donโt blame you if you havenโt decorated for Christmas yes because as nice as decorations look, setting them up is the last thing most of us want to do after a long day of work. And then, thereโs the question of what to decorate with. I donโt know about you, but the idea of making an aesthetic, Pinterest-perfect Christmas tree seems daunting and frankly, not my style. If youโre a fellow oddity, you might want to opt for a more out there design for your Christmas tree.
What counts as an โout thereโ Christmas decor is up to personal taste. Some might count a black Christmas tree as strange, even if itโs otherwise normally decorated, but if you really want a Christmas tree that will have your housemates, regardless of whether theyโre family or friends, scratching their heads and wondering whatโs gotten into you this year, you can try one of these weird Christmas ornaments.ย
An Ugly Blobfish
GET THE BLOBFISH GLASS CHRISTMAS ORNAMENT
A goldfish ornament will get you a few โoohsโ and โaahsโ, but it wonโt raise eyebrows like this blobfish ornament will. For those of you not familiar with blobfish, rest assured that it isnโt a body horror movie reference despite it looking like it could be on a sequel of Tusk (2014). This fishy friend can be found 2,000 to 4,000 feet deep beneath the ocean where atmospheric pressure makes it look more normal.ย
On your Christmas tree though? Itโs the most bizarre, sad-looking fish. This weird Christmas ornament can be a conversation piece that will get you all sorts of reactions. Hopefully, at least one person at your Christmas party knows what a blobfish is.
Go Under the Sea With This Tardigrade Ornament
GET THE TARDIGRADE BLOWN GLASS CHRISTMAS ORNAMENT
Speaking of sea creatures, you know those elegant glass ornaments that are absolutely terrifying to put up on your tree but would look really good if you didnโt have anyone accident-prone living with you? You can get that with this Tardigrade ornament but without the disappointment youโd feel should it break.
This isnโt to say the Tardigrade blown glass ornament is ugly. Far from it, it actually is quite well made and looks pretty when the light hits it (which we donโt recommend due to fire safety reasons). Since itโs made to look like a tardigrade, though, it doesnโt look nice enough to make you feel afraid of it breaking.
D&D Players Will Love These Mimic Ornaments
GET THE MONSTROUS MERRYMAKERS MIMIC ORNAMENT SET
Maybe you like Dungeons & Dragons or maybe you donโt, either way, these mimic ornaments are fun twists on typical Christmas tree ornaments that will make your housemates and guests do a double take as they realize they arenโt as typical as they first seem. Like real mimics!
Each ornament set includes a Santa hat, a light bulb, and a present just waiting to eat an unsuspecting party member alive. Theyโre about 2 inches tall each so you donโt have to worry about them being too big for your tree. Also, theyโre all handpainted resin so you can actually keep them for years without them discoloring like the usual cheap plastic Christmas ornaments.
A Festive T-Rex
GET THE T-REX CHRISTMAS TREE ORNAMENT
2022 has been a weird year. If we tried to remember every unexpected thing that happened that was not included in our 2022 Bingo card, weโd be here for days. At that point, we may as well add another weird thing to the pile in the form of a weird Christmas ornament dinosaur.
This T-Rex ornament depicts a T-Rex holding a present while tied up by Christmas lights. Sure, it looks absurd, but itโs still as scientifically accurate as the Jurassic World (2015) movie.
Or an R-Rated Gingerbread Man Giving It His All
GET THE NAUGHTY GINGERBREAD POLE DANCER
How about a naughty ornament to heat up these cold Christmas nights? This saucy gingerbread man is giving it his all on the candy cane pole and, as if the mildly scandalous pose isnโt enough to catch attention, it also speaks. Thereโs a button you can squeeze on its belly that triggers it to say stuff like โMmm, boy!โ and โHey, baby!โ.
This weird Christmas ornament is likely to get more laughs than odd looks, but we still recommend that you remember to hide it if you expect to have small kids at your place. Not to be a prude, but do you really want to explain pole dancers on Christmas to kids? Yeah, donโt think so.
Did Anyone Say We’re Getting Weird Christmas Ornaments โWhen Pigs Flyโ?
GET THE FLYING PIG ORNAMENT
Be honest, you likely have a friend or relative whoโs always saying something in the spirit of โwhen pigs flyโ. They may be hardcore realists or bitter cynics, but unless theyโre complete sticks in the mud, youโll get a laugh out of them with this flying pig ornament.
This cute little piggy is made of resin so you donโt have to be afraid of dropping it. The pig ornament has a shiny, glitter finish that actually makes it really pretty to look at especially at a distance.
Its perfect blend of unique, adorable, and strange makes it the perfect White Elephant gift, especially if youโre giving it to your colleagues.
Or if Thatโs Not Odd Enough, a Santaur
GET THE SANTAUR GLASS ORNAMENT
Not weirded out enough just yet? How about a Santaur? This buff Santa has been spending the last 11 months getting ripped in preparation for gracing the boughs of your Christmas tree. That said, he may have been skipping leg day because of how skinny his horse legs are. Other than being half-horse and shirtless, heโs just like every other Santa when it comes to bringing holiday cheer.
This Thing
GET THE MCPHEE BIBO ORNAMENT
Oh boy! A Christmas ornament thatโs somehow a Halloween ornament? Donโt mind if we do! We definitely want to have nightmares for Christmas.
