Having Christmas puns is like having the ultimate secret weapon.

Holiday dinners are somewhat a drama and a comedy, and it’s as if time slows down while the dinner lingers much longer than anticipated. From the unwanted political opinion from your uncle or your younger brother silently phubbing the Monopoly game, the energy can definitely use some Christmas spirit.

Usually, you find yourself at a dinner table, chewing mashed potatoes with your mouth open like a decrepit squirrel in search of a more spectacular way to make the room twinkle than the suspiciously blinking tree. But do not worry because having Christmas puns is like having the ultimate secret weapon.

If you want to casually drop one of these bad boys during dinner to entertain Grandpa, or if you’re looking for content to post on your TikTok story to be as cringe as much as possible, then, congratulations, this is your lifetime opportunity.

You don't even have to say “slay” (or should we say, “sleigh”) in every other sentence to get that. These Christmas puns are so fine and dandy that Rudolph’s nose seems like a diminutive luminescent stick.
