Christmas Cooking Fails
Is there anything more tempting than trying your hand at one of the many gorgeous dishes floating around on the internet? At every shopping centre checkout, youâll see some perfect Christmas meals, especially desserts, from the glossy magazines. Youâll then think if you could do it, right? No.
1. Your Icing Isnât Cheery
There are times when things just fall flat and in this case, the icing is definitely one of them. As a result, what should have been a cute little Christmas cupcake has become a neon, radioactive-looking dessert from hell.
2. Your Santas Are Sad
Itâs always nice to have something healthy for Christmas, and this dessert seems to be a perfect blend of a healthy fruit and some decadent cream. Too bad that these Santas never stand tall.
3. Itâs All Falling Apart
Thereâs so much going wrong here, we arenât even sure where to start. What is left after this Christmas fail is something from the dessert nightmares. Definitely, this will never be a centrepiece for your Christmas meal.
4. Christmas Meringue Isnât Your Thing
Meringue is already something that most people put on the top of the basket. Many thought that it was stressful to attempt it but in the Christmas fail basket, it goes!
5. You Just Went Wrong Somewhere
These arenât really the worst weâve seen but thereâs just something about them thatâs wrong. Maybe itâs a case of bad instruction or maybe it was doomed to be a Christmas fail from the start.
6. Your Dessert Is A Little Flat
In theory, this Christmas log seems like a great idea and doesnât really look that complicated. But that is of course before itâs put into the hands of the Christmas fail brigade.
7. Itâs Just Too Hard

Intended to be a whimsical Christmas tree made from delectable doughnut holes, this Christmas fail might have been the shock they didnât see coming. Itâs amazing how quickly it can go from magazine ready, to get that thing outta here!
Christmas Cheer Fails
One thing that everyone loves to do on Christmas is spread some cheer. You can do this by buying up big on Christmas stuff, participating in Christmas crafts and getting your decorating genie out of the magic Christmas lamp. Too bad youâre going to fail.
8. Your Craft Skills Are Questionable

A little memento from your childâs first Christmas might seem like a great idea. But just wait until your actual child is set loose on this pain monstrosity. Christmas FAIL!
9. Youâve Made Bad Purchasing Decisions
The Christmas decorations that you buy should last for a few seasons of cheer. Well if thatâs what you want, we wouldnât invest in these baubles, which are clearly failing at Christmas.
10. Thereâs Nothing Appetising About This
Thereâs something about this brown, lumpy blob that isnât doing anything for your appetite. Did your toddler once smuggle one of these bad boys in a nappy, or was it something else?
11. Or This
The same goes for this questionably, icky-shaped Santa Claus.
12. Youâve Overestimated Your Ability
Turning a white Christmas tree into a cheerful snowman seems pretty straight forward. But in the wrong hands, it turns into just another sad Christmas fail.
13. Your Kids Have Issues
In a situation like this, you better make sure that your kids wonât be bowing down to the Dark Lord this Christmas time instead of celebrating light. Fail!
Christmas Photo Fails
If you have high hopes for your familyâs Christmas photo, just stop those right now. Bring your expectations back down to the ground and then take them a little bit further because believe us, they need to be as low as possible.
14. Your Kids Hate Santa
There can be a lot of riding on your kidâs Christmas photo with Santa, but unfortunately, sometimes, even if youâve got four opportunities for success, youâll just get one big fail.
15. You Went Too Far
Thereâs a fine line when it comes to Christmas photographs. Stepping over that line will almost guarantee a Christmas fail like this one.
16. Your Baby Has No Christmas Cheer
Who doesnât love being swathed in pretty little Christmas lights? Well apparently, itâs your kids. Beware in trying to accomplish this cute little Christmas snap, a fail is waiting for you.
17. Your Dog Wonât Cooperate
If you donât have kids, your pet is the next choice for Christmas snaps. Sadly, if you thought children were hard to pose in adorable and yet candid snaps, dogs are downright impossible. Itâs a fail just waiting to happen.
18. Your Kids Arenât Picture Perfect
When thereâs more than one kid involved in your âpicture perfectâ Christmas photo, you might as well give up now. Seriously, unless youâre some kind of magician, all youâre going to get is fail and fail again.
19. The Timing Just Wasnât Right
Your entire family is there, the tree is up and glowing behind you and your house even looks almost magazine ready. But donât be fooled, as soon as you get the camera set up on a timer, these two rowdy pups are waiting to make your holiday snap another Christmas fail!
20. Your Kid Isnât Putting Up With This
Sometimes, all of your best-laid plans go awry and usually, thereâs a kid at the middle who just had enough of your nonsense.
