insiderblmCombine Christmas with the coronavirus and what do you get? An array of hilarious COVID-themed ornaments for your holiday tree!
Because let’s face it: As we hunker down this holiday season and brace for a second (or third) wave of infections, we could all stand for a little laughter right now. And a holiday ornament shaped like toilet paper is sure to get a chuckle or two—and, years later, will spark memories of just how weird a ride 2020 truly was.
So if you’re craving some timely additions to your holiday decor this year, consider some of these coronavirus-themed Christmas tree ornaments and decorations below.
1. Masked Santa
Of course the light-blue surgical face mask is the epitome of 2020 gloom and doom, which means Santa, his many elves, and all those fuzzy brown reindeer will be seen with masks of every size and color covering noses and snouts ($8.50, Amazon).
2. Toilet paper
Remember those toilet paper shortages? Here’s to hoping they never happen again. Still, if you’re into bathroom humor with a COVID-19 twist, this Charmin-themed ornament is for you ($17, Etsy).
3. COVID-19 virus
We’ve all seen depictions of the COVID-19 germ: red, prickly, deadly. It’s your call as to whether it’s a welcome bauble for your holiday tree ($15, Etsy).
4. First responder
Doctors, nurses, ambulance drivers, and other medical staff put their lives on the line to treat their fellow Americans this year. Bonus: You can personalize this cute guy for the favorite first responder in your family ($15, Amazon).
5. Hand sanitizer
Hand sanitizer became a permanent fixture in our homes this year. So it makes sense it would appear on our trees, too ($8, Amazon).
6. Zoom meeting
You’ve Zoomed your family check-ins and Zoomed those weekly budget meetings. Your kids have Zoomed school, and your book club insists on Zooming, too. To pay tribute to this ubiquitous platform, why not get a Zoom ornament, too ($25, Etsy).
7. Lysol wipes
In the “before” times you kept a tub of disinfectant wipes under the sink for when the dog lost its lunch on the living room floor. But now, wipes are everywhere, and deserve a spot on your fir tree ($18, Etsy).
8. Quarantine baking
Got a sister or neighbor who cooked her way through Ina Garten‘s books during quarantine? Here’s the ideal gift ($15, PersonalizedOrnamentsForYou) for her tree (or your own) to commemorate the many hours spent laboring over dinners from around the world. Tagine, anyone?
9. Puppy love
At your weakest moment you rescued a pooch to keep the kids happy and to spread a little love (and lots of kibble and fur) in your home. Admit it, it’s the best decision you’ve ever made, so show it on your tree with pride ($15, Callister Christmas).
10. The middle finger
Yup—this is how we really feel about 2020. From the deadly coronavirus to the wackiest-ever election, we are so ready for this year to be over—and this ornament can help you give it the heave-ho ($12.50, Etsy).
