Welcome to the Christmas season, ladies and gentleman! After a short wait time of 11 months, the month of cheer and joy is upon us. In a couple weeks we’ll be on Christmas break and have the time to do whatever we please over the days we’re off school. I’m sure that must leave some of you wondering what to do in the 2 weeks off school that you’ll have. After all, you could do just about anything(within legal boundaries of course) with all the free time. If you’re a prankster, or someone who likes to mess around, then look no further because here are 5 awesome Christmas themed pranks to get the most out of the Christmas season!

To get things crackalackin, let’s start off with something mild: joke gifts. The easiest way to get a laugh out of your loved ones on Christmas is to get them a silly gift that nobody would realistically actually want, because it’s so ridiculous that all it solicits is laughter. You can come up with something yourself if you’d like, but there’s also a plethora of prank gift boxes that you can find online that all contain some absolutely terrible present ideas. It could be something like an automatic butt wiper for your toilet, or mini toilet brushes that you put on your fingertips to clean your toilet with. It’ll be something in this realm of presents that no sane person would ever want as a Christmas gift, but it’s too funny not to appreciate.

What’s that? You want something a little less tame? Well, slow down there tiger! Let’s go with something that’ll definitely annoy whoever you try this on: replacing all the clothes with itchy Christmas sweaters. This is a tough one to pull off, given that you’d have to not only sneak out all the clothing items without anyone noticing, but also get tons of Christmas sweaters without anyone knowing. I wouldn’t recommend this one for the casual audience, but if you’re a challenger who wants to pull off something high caliber, then this would certainly be something to remember. Just remember to make sure all the normal clothing is kept safe somewhere, because your loved ones are gonna be really pissed if all their clothes are gone with nothing remaining but the Christmas sweaters. 

Still not extreme enough for you? Sheesh, what did your friends and family ever do to you? If you really want to make people angry with you, just put laxatives in the holiday eggnog and hot chocolate. Imagine how they’ll react when they’re just sipping eggnog or hot chocolate and all of the sudden they’re on the toilet for an hour straight. It’ll be absolutely hilarious for you I bet, but damn will your loved ones be upset with you. Just make sure you DO NOT put too much laxatives into the eggnog or the hot chocolate, because they could get seriously hurt otherwise. A safer option would be to put something like hot sauce or spicy pepper seasoning inside of it. Of course, you’d need to mask it so that they don’t notice that something’s wrong with their drink. They’ll still be angry with you if you do this option instead, but I would highly recommend this over the former option.

That’s still not enough for you? At this point, you might as well become the Grinch and try to steal Christmas from everyone. Or, perhaps you can do something similar but doesn’t involve stealing: switching the names on each of the presents. Admittedly, this prank is nigh impossible to actually pull off since realistically at least one person would notice that something’s wrong, considering that they most likely wrapped a few of those presents. However, you could make it work if you only did it to the presents YOU wrapped. It wouldn’t have nearly the same effect, but it would make for a nice little gag on Christmas morning. If you want to get the most out of this idea, however, then you might want to go the extra mile and try to get away with switching every name tag. If the presents look similar enough, then it might not even be that hard.

Aw man, I almost forgot the best prank of all: stocking stuffers gone wrong. There’s so many ways you could prank someone by putting something weird in their Christmas stockings. You could put something like fake vomit in the stockings, or if you want something a little less gross, prank candy. Any weird thing you can think of, you can put in someone’s stocking if it fits inside. This falls somewhat in line with the idea of prank gifts, with the difference being that this one requires less steps and involves stocking stuffers instead of wrapped presents. Just make sure you time it so that you don’t execute the prank setup at the same time as when your parent or guardian goes to fill the stockings themselves.

So, these are my 5 Christmas themed prank suggestions you could enhance your Christmas season with. I may have only listed 5 ideas here, but there are many more kinds of pranks you could pull off for Christmas that I’m sure will make for a good laugh and an unforgettable experience. Whatever you decide to do, just remember that Christmas is supposed to be a cheery season where you express your love for friends and family, so don’t be too cruel in your endeavors. Always think about the other people around you as you construct any sort of joke to play on them.
