These 21 Funny Christmas Ornaments Will Bring a Smile to Your Face All Season Long

When it comes to decorating your Christmas tree, a lot of the process comes down to personal preference. Some people love tradition. Traditional colors, traditional styles and a traditional approach all leave very little wiggle room. Others aren’t so bound to the classics. If it looks nice, makes you smile or maybe even just came free with your cereal, cram the ornament on the tree. If you fall into the latter category, this list is for you.

In general, most trees are green and host some kind of Christmas lights. However, one of the easiest ways to put your own spin on your tree or to try something a little zany is your choice of ornaments. Ornaments come in all shapes and sizes, meaning that no matter what you’re into, there’s probably an ornament to match.

Ornaments are also a great way to generate Christmas cheer. Whether it’s through sentiment, nostalgia or even humor, picking the right ones can turn your tree from a run-of-the-mill bore-fest to an unforgettable visual experience people are sure to remember.

To get you on the right path in creating a popular and memorable tree, we’ve put together a selection of our favorite funny ornaments. The list includes both topical ornaments and ornaments to last through the years. You’ll also find visually funny ornaments as well as options that get your brain thinking.

Plus, as many of these ornaments are on the budget-friendly side of things, they also make great options for a Secret Santa exchange.

1. Personalized Hand Sanitizer Christmas Ornament

BEST OVERALL

This is easily the most relevant ornament you can buy in 2020, there’s no doubt about that. Grab this personalized hand sanitizer ornament to add to your tree as a true relic of the hellish year we’ve had.

2. Tree Buddees Donald Trump Christmas Ornament

BEST POLITICAL

Whether you love or hate him, hanging this Tree Buddees Donald Trump Christmas Ornament from your tree is definitely going to guarantee laughs (and probably a few small disagreements along the way, too).

And, if the ornament isn’t going to make it onto your tree, why not gift it during your Secret Santa exchange and let your friend or coworker have all the fun.

3. The Sweater King Barry Wood Meme Christmas Tree Ornament

SURPRISINGLY SFW

If you’ve made it this far in our technologically-driven society, there’s no way you haven’t yet received a fake, newsworthy text from a buddy expressing concern over the recent election, quarantine or maybe even a storm that included a link to a photo of this man. Pictured is the iconic Barry Wood who was just a regular dude that became a meme for, well, what’s dangling between his legs. Wood has since sadly passed in 2016, but since fans of the meme began to take an interest in his existence, he has amassed a cult following. His fans even took it upon themselves to help raise money for his family during the pandemic and even to give him a proper headstone atop his grave, proving that memes can really do a lot for people.
