The viral 6-foot Step2 DIY Nutcracker is back and selling fast - Lubbock Avalanche-Journal

Step2 brought back its whole lineup of giant, customizable holiday decor this year, not just the nutcracker. The collection also includes large JOY letters and giant ornaments, all designed as blank canvases so buyers can paint them to match whatever holiday look they want. Folks in Lubbock who missed out last time, or who watched the nutcracker take over their social feeds without ordering one, get a second shot before the season even really starts.

It is still September, but that has not stopped shoppers from snapping these up again. A six-foot nutcracker is a serious statement piece for a front yard or porch, and the DIY angle means no two look exactly alike once painters get their hands on it. For anyone whose yard already turns into a competition with the neighbors every December, this is the kind of item that shows up in group chats and gets asked about at every gathering from now through the holidays.

The decor already sold out once before the calendar even hit October, which says something about how early Christmas shopping has crept for people chasing the next big yard decoration.
