Published 12/18/2025, 11:44 AM EST

Every year, the holiday season comes dressed in red, green, and a carefully curated sense of chaos. From awkward office parties to overenthusiastic family gatherings, it is a time when legendary personas suddenly collide with mortal misadventures.

Streaming platforms overflow with festive cheer, yet some moments escape conventional storytelling. This time, the stage belongs to a Wonder Woman of the golden era, a Deadpool who cannot resist mischief, and a sweater that somehow became history.

While everyone else unwraps predictable holiday films, one golden-era superhero meets absurd comedy, hinting at a prank that is equal parts chaos, meta-humor, and festive generosity.

Ryan Reynold's Deadpool drags Wonder Woman into the worst sweater of Christmas

Last Christmas, Ryan Reynolds orchestrated another holiday spectacle, this time enlisting Lynda Carter, a.k.a. Wonder Woman, to endure the worst sweater ever. Carter shared the video on X with the caption, “@VancityReynolds made me wear this terrible sweater…”, posting the absurd sketch to a wide audience.

The clip, crafted for the SickKids Foundation in Toronto, blends Deadpool’s R-rated humor, playful threats, and celebrity meta-commentary to create a perfect storm of laughter, chaos, and holiday goodwill.

The humor thrives on layered references. When Deadpool instructs Carter to do “the thing,” it nods to her iconic Wonder Woman spin, yet she transforms into a grotesque holiday sweater instead of a hero.

Commentary on Henry Cavill’s CGI mustache and DC studio mishaps adds a sharp satirical edge that only true superhero enthusiasts would catch. Carter’s deadpan reactions against Reynolds’ manic energy create comedic tension, highlighting why these annual sketches circulate as viral social media gold.
