Video: The Grinch Stole My Tractor | Slapstick Country Christmas Comedy Song


“The Grinch Stole My Tractor” is a hilarious slapstick country Christmas comedy song packed with chaos, diesel, and pure festive mayhem! When the Grinch steals a farmer’s tractor on Christmas morning, it turns into a wild green joyride—snow flying, fences breaking, chickens panicking, and the whole farm in uproar. If you love funny country Christmas songs, parody holiday music, goofy farm humour, or Grinch-inspired chaos, this track is perfect for your Christmas playlist.
