8 Weird Christmas Ornaments That Will Weird Out Your Housemates

Look, we don’t blame you if you haven’t 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, there’s the question of what to decorate with. I don’t know about you, but the idea of making an aesthetic, Pinterest-perfect Christmas tree seems daunting and frankly, not my style. If you’re a fellow oddity, you might want to opt for a more out there design for your Christmas tree.

What counts as an “out there” Christmas decor is up to personal taste. Some might count a black Christmas tree as strange, even if it’s otherwise normally decorated, but if you really want a Christmas tree that will have your housemates, regardless of whether they’re family or friends, scratching their heads and wondering what’s gotten into you this year, you can try one of these weird Christmas ornaments.

An Ugly Blobfish

GET THE BLOBFISH GLASS CHRISTMAS ORNAMENT

A goldfish ornament will get you a few ‘oohs’ and ‘aahs’, but it won’t raise eyebrows like this blobfish ornament will. For those of you not familiar with blobfish, rest assured that it isn’t 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.

On your Christmas tree though? It’s 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 didn’t have anyone accident-prone living with you? You can get that with this Tardigrade ornament but without the disappointment you’d feel should it break.

This isn’t 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 don’t recommend due to fire safety reasons). Since it’s made to look like a tardigrade, though, it doesn’t 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 don’t, 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 aren’t 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. They’re about 2 inches tall each so you don’t have to worry about them being too big for your tree. Also, they’re 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, we’d 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 it’s 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 isn’t enough to catch attention, it also speaks. There’s a button you can squeeze on its belly that triggers it to say stuff like “Mmm, boy!” and “Hey, baby!”.

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, don’t think so.

Did Anyone Say We’re Getting Weird Christmas Ornaments ‘When Pigs Fly’?

GET THE FLYING PIG ORNAMENT

Be honest, you likely have a friend or relative who’s always saying something in the spirit of “when pigs fly”. They may be hardcore realists or bitter cynics, but unless they’re complete sticks in the mud, you’ll get a laugh out of them with this flying pig ornament.

This cute little piggy is made of resin so you don’t 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 you’re giving it to your colleagues.

Or if That’s 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, he’s just like every other Santa when it comes to bringing holiday cheer.
