Santa’s workshop looks a little different.
Rather than operating at the North Pole, one family’s miracle worker undertakes an impressive wrapping fête in a hotel suite.
The TikToker, who goes by @McKelliganL, is planning her third annual “wrapping weekend,” booking a hotel room for two nights to prepare gifts in peace — no elves required.
Last year, the mom shared footage of her gift-wrapping getaway, scoring 2.8 million views on the very merry video.
She can be seen donning a red Santa hat and a “Santa Baby” sweatshirt while meticulously folding, boxing and wrapping various presents for her loved ones, working alongside numerous rolls of patterned wrapping paper and fueled by a large Starbucks coffee — served in a holiday cup, of course.
“Booked a hotel for two nights, wrapped all gifts🎄, order takeout, watch tons of TV, and no one asked me for anything,” she captioned the clip.
When all was said and done, she was surrounded by a mountain of beautifully wrapped gifts all ready to be placed under the tree and kicked up her feet to munch on some Tostitos, throw back a beer and watch some TV undisturbed.
It seemed like every busy mama’s dream.
“This is the greatest thing I’ve ever seen!! You’re a genius,” praised one viewer in the comments.
“I love how you’ve incorporated self-care into one of the most mundane tasks to humans,” another complimented.
“Dream weekend honestly,” admitted someone else.
“This is the most epic thing ever!!!!” wrote another person.
“I’m not a mom but I want to do this!!!” one woman exclaimed.
Meanwhile, others offered their own suggestions for how to enhance the seasonal experience.
“Nah send the fam to the hotel then [you] don’t have to lug that all around & you can still order take out and try between wrapping lol,” wrote one person.
“Okay but hear me out,” added another, “An Airbnb so all the moms can wrap and sip together.”
But it appears that the clever gift wrapper isn’t the only person who’s interested in turning a hotel room into a makeshift workshop.
Scotch — as in, the tape brand — is offering a first-ever, one-night “Holi-Stay” at the Lotte New York Palace Hotel.
From Dec. 6 to 16, holiday enthusiasts can escape their nosey family and avoid spoiling the surprise of Christmas gifts by staying in a room equipped for wrapping, completely a station with various wrapping paper and types of tape, perfect for both shipping to family or toting back home.
