PHOTOS: 20 of the (accidentally) gayest Christmas decorations we’ve ever seen

Three-panel image. In the first panel, a neon Christmas sign of a candle in front of two ball shaped ornaments with sprigs of holly that resembles a penis. In the middle, a ceramic Santa head wearing a hat with his mouth wide open and his hand outstretched in front of it. On the far right panel, a blonde singing angel decoration with her mouth wide open. Four white candles on top of her have melted, leaving her face covered in strands of white.

“Make the yuletide gay,” they said.

Although the LGBTQ+ community has claimed Halloween as “Gay Christmas,” that doesn’t change the fact that the December holidays are pretty freaking queer on their own.

Purchasing a turtleneck sweater for one party? Gay.

Decking your house out with different colored balls? Gay!

A man who comes into your house at night with a load of presents? GAAAAY!

But honestly, the fine purveyors of Christmas spirit don’t need any help gaying up the season. (Although, a 2021 YouGov poll found 76% of British people would be OK with a queer Father Christmas.)

From phallic-shaped candelabras, to naughty little reindder, and butt plug-shaped trees, we can’t be the only ones who’ve noticed that the holidays have always been a little fruity.

So, in the spirit of jolly Ol’ Saint Nick, click through for some of the most hilarious (and accidentally gay) Christmas decorations ever.

McDonald’s really spreads the holiday cheer.

Is this what they meant by “reindeer games”?

A grassy front yard decorated for Christmas at daytime. An inflatable Santa, in a red coat and hat, sits waving in a sled. He's led by three brown reindeer with snowflake-adorned saddles. The four legged reindeer are posed one in front of the other, connected by what appeared to be a brown leg inserting into the rear of the reindeer in front of them.

When the family stockings read you for filth…

Two-panel image. Both images show a brick fireplace decorated with stockings for the holiday season. The white stockings are labelled M, R, P, H, A, G, S, T in that order. White text on the first panel reads "That awkward moment when you realize that the chronological order of your." In the second panel, the text continues, "stockings say Mr Phag Street." The second panel also reads, "Don't get offended. It's spelled with a Ph." A gingerbread GIF is featured on both panels with a red sticker that reads, "Make the yuletide GAY."

When Christmas crafting goes horribly wrong.

He knows when you’ve been bad, or good, or a secret third thing.

A collection of stuffed Santa decorations on the shelf at a store. The decoration features Santa with a smile holding a present above his head. Sewed to the front of his crotch, unfortunately placed between his legs, is a little child with his face buried in his crotch. The child wears a green striped shirt and candy cane striped shoes.

Reporting live from Santa’s werk-shop.

On the beach, a Christmas light decoration pictured at daytime. What is supposed to be a Santa that lights up and gives the appearance of a tossing up a present now looks like one Santa thrusting into another who's bent over.
