155+ Dog Christmas Puns to Fetch Holiday Laughs

There’s nothing quite like combining two of life’s greatest joys—dogs and Christmas—into one hilarious bundle of wordplay. Last year, I tried to convince my Labrador to wear reindeer antlers for a shot, and let’s just say she was more “bah hum-pug” than merry.

But you know what always works? A good pun! Whether you’re preparing holiday cards, posting gorgeous pup photographs on social media, or just need a giggle during your seasonal craziness, these dog Christmas puns are the perfect stocking stuffers for your funny bone.

Get ready to sleigh the festive, funny game!
