There was nothing like it.
Santa and Mrs. Claus throwing out Slim Jims, while other parade entrants threw out everything from bags of peanuts – to put in your RC Colas, of course – to packages of ramen. We’re talking, of course, about the now-gone Chumuckla Redneck Christmas Parade, which attracted thousands each year to the rural Chumuckla area until its final year in 2013.
A little too much rowdiness over the years sealed its fate.
Still, we miss all the over-the-top fun from the guy in a bathtub being pulled by another feller driving a riding mower to the always popular outhouse turned into a float, where you never knew what they were throwing out.
Check out our gallery above of Redneck Christmas Parades through the years.
