Just because you’ve swapped the lab coat for a festive sweater doesn’t mean your labmates need to stay in cold storage. Bring them home to meet your family.

Add some microscopic merriment to your tree with the Merry Christmas set from GIANTmicrobes. Dangle the Santa-hatted common cold next to the antlered Escherichia coli; let the brain cell munch on a candy cane while hanging near the warmly wrapped limited-edition red amoeba; just be sure to keep the kissing disease away from the mistletoe.
