Trekkie Annie Shapiro created this 'Wrath of Khan' [Christmas wreath](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holiday-wreath-pan), which is guaranteed to get a few laughs (or raise a few eyebrows). This geeky holiday decoration is essentially made out of printed pictures of Khan, from the second Star Trek movie. Shapiro arranged them into a large circle, and slapped a big red bow on it to make it more festive.

While this is incredibly nerdy, this villainous wreath is also pretty clever. Shapiro calls it 'Wreath of Khan', which is a pretty funny (and fitting) title.

This hilarious monochromatic wreath will make Star Trek fans smile, but beware, it will also cause family members and friends to judge you. Nothing says geek like a Trekkie style [Christmas ornament](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spicy-chicken-sandwich-ornament).
