Stop Washing Your Christmas Tree! - 2025 Week 50
Bar Talk Happy Hour
Thursday, December 11, 2025 - 19 minutes
This week on Bar Talk Happy Hour, we’re diving into one of the strangest holiday trends taking over TikTok: folks washing their Christmas trees… yes, washing them. From artificial trees getting hosed down in backyards to real trees getting a full bath before the lights go on, videos are popping up everywhere showing dirt, dust, and mystery debris swirling away. Some families swear it helps with allergies, while experts warn not to rinse pre-lit trees and say that for real evergreens, a simple shake will do the job just fine. Even the Iowa State University Extension notes that any bugs hitching a ride usually die off quickly indoors and aren’t a real concern.
Of course, Odie Coyote has thoughts — and he doesn’t hold back. Expect plenty of laughs as he wonders why anyone would spend time and energy washing a Christmas tree when they could just put the dang thing up, crack open a beer, and relax while the kids tear into their presents. Tune in for holiday fun, good music, and Odie’s signature no-nonsense take on seasonal silliness.
