Woman Finds A Possum Hiding In Her Fake Christmas Tree After It Blows Its Cover With A Sneeze

Having grown up in an area teeming with possums, it’s safe to say that unexpected encounters with these furry critters are nothing new to me. So, when I stumbled upon the story of 29-year-old Brett Ingram from Texas, who had a rather unusual holiday visitor, it was like déjà vu.

Brett, who’s clearly a fellow possum pro, took to her social media page to share the comical moment she stumbled upon a wild possum having a jolly good time in her festive Christmas shrub.

The video, which has since amassed a whopping 4.8 million views, showcases Brett zooming in on her Christmas tree, unveiling the curious little creature nestled among the artificial, snow-covered branches.

With a mix of surprise and amusement, Brett exclaims, “I’m literally freaking out right now. I have no idea how this possum got in my house and up into my tree.” Ah, the joys of living in possum territory, where holiday surprises come with a furry twist!

She’s explains that it revealed itself after a sneeze.

Brett called animal control to take care of the situation.
