10 Hilarious Holiday Pranks

A Good Christmas Prank Often Involves Santa Or a Snowman

For practical jokers, a Christmas prank is as good as any other kind. What makes a Christmas prank different is it usually revolves around some kind of seasonal or holiday tradition or figure like shopping, snowmen or Santa.

People are typically more susceptible to a Christmas prank simply because they are so caught up in the business of the season that they aren’t able to identify pranks before they happen. With so much on the go, it’s easy to understand why people are so preoccupied.

In this list we see two different snowmen scaring the daylights out of pedestrians as they walk by storefronts. The first snowman actually reaches out and grabs people, while the second snowman simply shifts himself right as people walk by. The pedestrians often get spooked immediately.
