People Share Their Epically Questionable Attempts at Making Christmas-Themed Dishes

Just because we can do something doesn’t mean we should. Take this shrimp cocktail Christmas tree, for example. Is it really necessary to pin a bunch of cold precooked shrimp to a tower of lettuce for Christmas dinner? No, but someone did it anyway. This has to be one of the most unappetizing appetizers we’ve seen to date.

A tower of shrimp cocktail sounds luxurious in theory, but the actual reality is much less so. The thing about this creation that is sending us over the edge is the decorative toothpicks. Each one has a colorful pom-pom on top for easy grabbing. It’s like each shrimp has a little hat. We can’t take it.
