# Unfashionable Festivity Christmas Tree Hats By Cowbag | Published 2008-12-14 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christmas-tree-hats-festive-bad-taste References: [trendhunter](http://www.trendhunter.com) It is clear that [hideous Christmas jumpers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pg-tips-christmas-jumper) divide the web, so I thought I would throw something new into the fray: extreme [Christmas tree hats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/merry-sparkles-outdoor-decor). They are not all bad; some are hideous and fashioned from balloons, but some are quite cool. Okay, that was a lie. They all fall outside the grounds of taste and decency in headwear and can *only* be enjoyed--without being laughed out of town, at least--during the festive season. Naturally, the above statement does not apply to children or [dogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pooch-mutt-2025-christmas-range) of course, because they would look cute as a button in such hats.
