Every December, TikTok fills up with the same videos: Christmas hauls.

Teenagers and young adults sitting on their bedroom floors, surrounded by piles of gifts, starting with the same disclaimer: “I’m so grateful, I’m not trying to brag” before listing off everything they got. And every year, the hauls get bigger, louder, and more disconnected from reality.

In this video, I’m breaking down the Christmas haul phenomenon in 2025. Let's get into it!
