The year 2020 has taught us to do a lot of things differently. One of them being celebrating festivals. A year ridden by the COVID-19, the situation is still grim in parts of the world. In the new normal of maintaining social distance, staying in lockdown to stay safe, people rung in their Christmas celebrations. Pictures of their unique COVID-19 themed Christmas trees were shared online. Otherwise a time to come home, family reunions, get togethers, feasts and New Year Eve parties, this time families got together on video conferencing calls. And among them were some funny instances. In what could be described as "Peak 2020" people are sharing how their Christmas celebrations this year were rather much different. Some have shared funny pictures of their family calls on the day of Christmas.

This time because of the travel restrictions, a lot of people bonded with virtual celebrations. As people got used to Zoom meetings as a way of family get together, there is also a growing search for Happy Holidays Zoom backgrounds online. Some people did use them to add to their celebrations online. One family got made a cardboard cut out of their family member missing from the celebration. Besides, parents or elders with technology can be funny sometimes and people have shared it online. Be it FaceTime calls, or sleeping during celebrations, Zoom backgrounds or socially-distanced photos,  Christmas 2020 was too unique for many.
