"Tree Kringle" (formerly "Oh Kringle Tree" on the official Happy Tree Friends website (pre-Atom) and in the Happy Tree Friends: Second Serving DVD or "Kringle Tree" in Happy Tree Friends - Winter Break) is a Kringle featuring Lumpy and Giggles. The short is set to "O Tannenbaum".

On the (now-defunct) holiday minisite hosted on the official Happy Tree Friends website, this Kringle is represented by a silhouette of a tree.

An axe-holding Lumpy and Giggles are standing before a tree of the latter's choice. Lumpy swings his axe at the chosen tree, only to mistakenly hit Giggles' face instead. Her eyeball then falls off its eye socket.
