Renowned for his grouchy, grumpy behavior, this Sesame Street favorite is still emerging this Christmas in an Oscar the Grouch stocking. Unlike the traditional mantelpiece though, the Oscar the Grouch stocking only welcomes gifts in his staple tin trash can, but I guess that’s as much of he holiday spirit we can expect out of him.
Labelled with Ebenezer Scrooge’s signature line "Bah Humbug," the adorably grouchy muppet’s garbage can is capable of fitting a boatload of presents, just like the character’s actual can. Like a never-ending pit of discarded goodness, he can always dig up something useful in his pit of collectibles. Sesame Street fans can also adorn their mantels with the entire family including Cookie Monster, Big Bird an Elmo, but the owner of Oscar’s will be the definite sparkling ray of sunshine this holiday.
