What Are Holiday Puns and Why Do We Love Them?
There’s something magical about the holidays — the lights, the food, the togetherness — and of course, the laughter. That’s where holiday puns come in!
A good pun takes a familiar holiday word (like “snow” or “sleigh”) and gives it a twist that makes you grin.
Why do we love them so much? Because they’re wholesome, funny, and instantly festive. Whether you’re making a Christmas card, an Instagram caption, or just joking around with family, a perfect pun adds the right sprinkle of cheer.
Plus, it’s scientifically proven (okay, maybe not proven, but pretty clear) that holiday puns make people smile faster than hot cocoa disappears on a winter night.
