Meet the giant Home Depot skeleton's holiday cousin, the giant Home Depot nutcracker
Giant holiday decor fans, rise up.
Skeleton purveyor Home Depot is selling a giant eight-foot nutcracker to bring some XL holiday cheer to your home. If you don't want to put a Santa hat on your beloved 12-foot Home Depot skeleton, his shorter, festively dressed cousin is the way to go.
The giant nutcracker features the same haunting digital LifeEyes™ as his skeleton counterpart, but he's also full of holiday cheer. He can play an assortment of Christmas and holiday songs, making him the perfect party guest.
You may be thinking "wait, why isn't this Nutcracker 12 feet tall?" We had the same question, so we reached out to Lance Allen, Decorative Holiday Merchant at The Home Depot (he's known as “skelly’s dad”) for answers.
"We definitely considered making it 12 feet tall, but backed off on the height because of the elegant design and finish to the item," he said. "We loved how the piece turned out so much we wanted to ensure our customers could have an impressive piece either inside or outside their house."
While the giant nutcracker may not be quite as tall as the giant skeleton, this short king doesn't have to be banished to your front yard. His height means that you can bring him and his LifeEyes™ into your home, as part of your family.
The eight-foot giant nutcracker is available from Home Depot for $269 — $30 less than the original skeleton. We assume the $30 gap in price is to account for the four-foot height difference.
At the time of writing, all holiday decor ordered online from Home Depot included free delivery. Why not add to your large seasonal statue collection for less?
