When is it?
Tannenschlag is always celebrated on the first Saturday in December:
How did this happen?
After a decade of legendary Festivus parties, it was time for something new. So in 2021, I invented Tannenschlag — a holiday to celebrate friendship, roast consumerism, and honor the unsung heroes of the season: our delivery drivers.
Thanks to a brilliant crew of co-conspirators, our traditions took shape- from pink and orange attire to upside down fir trees and other unique rituals.
“Tannenschlag” is a German-ish word that would literally mean to beat a fir tree. Befitting of a holiday that flips convention upside down.
