If the birth of Jesus took place today, it would be a far cry from the historical tale as yesterday’s youth knows it. There’d be a Nav system to guide the Wise Men to Bethlehem, the actual birth would be “live’ on Facebook and Tweets from the manger would be posted hourly.
Hipster Nativity Set
In the past I shared with you some wildly modern and minimalistic Nativity sets. This one has a different take on that. It’s a contemporary version as opposed to a modern one, and it’s hilarious.
The Hipster Nativity Set makes perfect sense for today’s Millennials. They can relate to a Man-bunned Joseph taking a selfie and a Starbucks-toting Mary.
The three wise men arrive on Segways bearing gifts for the Lord from Amazon.
And the farm animals with whom Baby Jesus shares the stable (which is solar-powered) are undoubtedly grass fed and free-range.
The Hipster Nativity set was available for purchase with a limit of 3 per customer for $129.99 when this was posted. It is no longer being made. But sometimes you can find one on ebay. If you got one, consider yourself lucky. We get requests for them all the time!
A big thanks to the fabulous Bill Bowersock for bringing this to my attention.

Fantastic! I need this to add to our nativity collection.
Not hip, not cool, not even attractive.
Trish, I’m sorry if you are offended. This blog often requires a healthy does of humor – or perhaps having to turn the cheek- every once in awhile. This is one of those times. I think even the Big Guy upstairs would chuckle at this, but we all have different relationships with religion.
laura just ignore this I am afraid that some people cannot tolerate anything outside of their own narrow minded views. anything spreading the christian message to new followers is fantastic.
I laughed out loud. This is a nice realization in diorama form of a pretty easy-to-formulate 2016 joke. The juxtaposition of “O Holy Night” in the slideshow was perfect.
My father explained the difference between “high camp” and “low camp” to me in this way: if you have an orange Christmas tree and you think it’s funny, that’s “high camp.” If you have an orange Christmas tree and you think it’s attractive, that’s “low camp.”
I’m really not sure how “Hipster Creche” sends anything resembling a non-ironic Christian message, and woe to those who do. It is actually the opposite of a Christian message, and it’s meant to be just that. Every single element in it is carefully crafted to illustrate the opposite of humility, solemnity, and piety, which is what makes it spot-on. It should be a wake-up call to many calling themselves Christian delivered through the gift of comedy.
And thank you hmcnally!
Thank you 36Bells!
BOOOOOO your lack of humor!
