As a car lover, how many times have your Christmas presents been wrapped in paper that’s covered in little red trucks hauling Christmas trees? How about all of the automotive-themed Christmas decorations at the store – there are always plenty of little red trucks hauling Christmas trees, whether they’re tree ornaments, little model trucks, mugs or even festive kitchen towels.
This TikTok went viral when a creator noticed a trend in the Christmas decorations that his mother gave him. His list of little red-truck-hauling-Christmas-tree paraphernalia includes a mug, a light-up little red truck hauling a Christmas tree, a welcome mat, multiple festive towels, a spoon rest, an oven mit, a metal model of a little red truck hauling a Christmas tree, a stocking, a box, and another light-up little red truck hauling a Christmas tree.
This original video by @Mello_Yoshi currently has 18.5 million views and over 3.1 million likes. It has sparked a viral trend of TikTokers calling out all of the holiday decorations that feature the legendary little red truck hauling a Christmas tree, and even spotting real-life red trucks hauling Christmas trees.
My dad’s new personality in retirement has become his ‘62 Chevy C10 stepside, and despite its light-blue hue, his favorite part of the holidays is buying the Christmas tree and hauling it in the back of his little truck. To be fair, it does make for some adorable photoshoots.
Aside from @Mello_Yoshi’s video, there are several other trending audios that play off of the same concept, with varying degrees of profanity. The much loved There I Ruined It account even mixed @Mello_Yoshi’s original audio into a video compilation with other users quoting him, putting it over a festive soundtrack of jingling bells and a piano riff to make a song about a little red truck hauling a Christmas tree, which might have been the last faction of Christmas that didn’t directly feature a little red truck hauling a Christmas tree.
Next time you go to the store, don’t forget to stock up on little red trucks hauling Christmas trees whether it’s in the form of a tree ornament, dinner table centerpiece, kitchen towel, or throw pillow. It’s not the holidays without a little red truck hauling a Christmas tree.
