Christmas ornament collections hold memories of life’s events. Here are the ten best 2021 COVID-themed Christmas ornaments commemorating year two of the pandemic, and the impact it has had on us all.
Ahh, Calendar Year 2021; you are a year of surprises. Of changes, challenges, tragedies, and travesties. Sometimes I wonder if once this year is over and gone, we will even want to remember it.
2021 is quite possibly a year many of us would like to forget – or maybe you’re like me, and don’t even feel sure where this year went!
COVID-Themed Christmas Ornaments to Commemorate the Year 2021
Please note that these ornaments are meant to be humorous! I’ve had a few reader responses that were..umm..not so supportive of this list. Let’s keep it light, k?
On the other hand, I and many others do like to add an annual ornament to the Christmas tree – something that represents or summarizes the year in some way. For those of us who follow this tradition, I’ve collected ten of the best 2021 COVID-commemorative Christmas ornaments.
If you are a collector, I’m sure you’ll find an ornament here that speaks to you and your experience of the year.
Not a fan of ornament collections?
Perhaps you can use one of these as a hostess, neighbor, or even a white elephant gift. They work well as Secret Santa and gag gifts, too!

I’m looking for a regular ornament. I don’t want anything that has toilet paper, hand sanitizers, or other such things.
I understand, and I hope you find what you are looking for. Thanks for reading!
do you have the correct link for the mini face mask ornament?
Oops, Laurel, I am so sorry about having the wrong link! I’ve corrected the link in the post (tried to put it in this message, but it wouldn’t link)
Thanks for letting me know it was incorrect!
This is hysterical and hits the mail right smack on the head! Thank you! I needed this!
Thank you, Kari! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
This list is awful! I’m looking for a Christmas ornament, not a reminder of the year that Americans accepted tyranny from the government.
I’m sorry this list isn’t what you were looking for – it is meant to be a representation of this year, and a bit tongue in cheek. Thank you for taking the time to respond anyway, and I hope you find what you are looking for!
Rebecca is angry!
