Bluey was banned in the US for some weird reason

However, the ban was re-evaluated and lifted

“Big W Clifford Gardens, Toowoomba,” said the woman who shared the first post about the Bluey decorations.

“They also had a space for the advent calendar that everyone had canceled.”

Bluey fans went into a frenzy after seeing the post.

‘OMG! I need some!’ said a woman.

‘This should definitely be on the Christmas tree!’ another commented.

Shoppers flocked to their local Big W stores but were disappointed with their findings.

“They didn’t have Bluey when I was there,” one woman said.

“Not in WA when I last checked, hopefully soon,” said another.

The online store also showed that many people’s stores were out of stock.

While these Christmas decorations may be hard to come by, some people take the issue into their own hands and get crafty.

A woman made her own Bluey Christmas decorations from plywood. She first drew her design on the board, then cut out the figures and painted them.

She uploaded her crafty creation to TikTok, captioning it “a very blue Christmas.”
