For 2020, I give you not one or two Christmas-themed WODS. I didn’t even stop at 12 workouts. This year, I bring you 13 Christmas-Themed Workouts. There are many CrossFit Christmas Workouts out there, but none compares to this one. Merry Christmas 🎄 and Happy WODS to Everyone ❄.

On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave me a partridge in a pear tree. On the second day of Christmas, my true love gave to me two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree.
