Although “Merry Christmas” is the most popular greeting, another phrase has gone viral on the internet. All day long, “Merry Crisis” has been the top trend on X, the former Twitter. It is difficult for people who are not familiar with the phrase to determine its origins, though. The origin of the term “Merry Crisis” is unclear, although it became widely used following the release of a Vine video that went viral.
2015’s Vine clip
In 2015, Merry Crisis became well-known after Christine Sydelko, a Vine user, uploaded a video of herself hilariously wishing people a Merry Christmas. Sydelko is shown strolling around in the little film, wishing people “Happy Crismus,” “It’s Chrismun,” “Merry Crisis,” and “Merry Chrysler.” People began wishing one another a Merry Christmas shortly after the video went viral.

The phrase “Merry Crisis and a Happy New Fear” first appeared as graffiti outside the Bank of Greece during the 2008 Athens civil unrest. A photo of the graffiti was featured on the 2007 Christmas special cover for Vavel Magazine.
