To celebrate the holiday season, the Washington Capitals have started a 25 days of Christmas countdown.

To kick the countdown off, the Capitals dressed John Carlson up as a Christmas tree.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! And the #Caps are getting into the holiday spirit with our #ALLCAPS holiday countdown. First up – 🎄@jc7474! 🎵O Carly Tree, O Carly Tree! Holy lovely are they branches🎵

Captioned with edited lyrics to popular Christmas tune O’Christmas Tree, Carlson dons a adult-sized foam Christmas tree costume in the Capitals video. He has one of those smiles like Please, someone save me.

If you want to match Carlson for your office holiday party, you can purchase the exact costume.

Carlson even wore cool present shoes.

Now there’s just one tiny problem. There are 25 days of Christmas and only 23 players on an NHL roster, but I guess that’s a bridge the Capitals will cross on Christmas Eve. I hope Barry Trotz and Brian MacLellan don’t mind dressing up as Santa and Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.
