We just got accustomed to the bizarrely unnecessary, yet incredibly profitable, sexy Halloween costume market — shilling everything from sexy Oscar the Grouch to barely there Chewbacca. Christmas is revealing costume vendors' latest victim.
Sexy Santa, elf, and even gingerbread house costumes are on the rise.
"Last year, we ran out of Santa costumes, and I had more than 200 for sale, and 85 for rent, and we rent each of those out five times," Debbie Easley, co-owner of Easley's Fun Shop, told The Republic.
These are the strangest skimpy Christmas costumes that your great aunt Edna hopefully won't be wearing to your Christmas dinner.
(Warning, these photos have partial nudity.)
If you're wondering why people would buy a skimpy Christmas costume, TotallyCostumes.com explains that the light up Christmas present skirt "is an ideal for for holiday rave wear or Christmas clubwear." It's on sale for $78.95. Candy cane fur leg warmers are an additional $54.95.
Sexy Santa costumes are on the rise. This $69 number is called "Santa's Little Helper."
But costumes aren't limited to Santa. There are also plenty of sexy snowmen ...
... $98.95 elves with North Pole inappropriate "peek-a-boo velcro window bottoms" ...
... and of course Christmas presents.
According to Fancy Dress Costumes, this £23.99 Saucy Pud costume "doesn't come with its own cream sauce, but it definitely is hot!" Who knew pudding could be sexy?
But the unnecessarily revealing Christmas costumes aren't just for the ladies. (Mistletoe is not included.)
The description of this terrifying little number reads, "This hot thong is sure to make your woman a 'ho ho ho!'"
So there are girl reindeer ...
... and boy reindeer.
Don't forget about those North Pole polar bear.
And what Ginger Girl costume would be complete ...
... without a candy cane to go with it?
Of course guys are welcome to cover up with this Hugh Hefner-esque lounging jacket.
And no, a sparkly top hat does not make a sexy "Santa Baby Burlesque" costume any classier.
Merry Christmas, everyone.
There's more strangely sexy costumes where that came from.
