History

Woody the Talking Christmas Tree debuted at Mic Mac Mall in 1983. [4] [5] Woody operated every holiday season until its retirement after Christmas 2006 due to structural deterioration of its frame and safety concerns. [6] In September 2021, Joe Ramia bought Mic Mac Mall and promised Woody's return as part of the acquisition. [7] "Woody 3.0" was unveiled in November 2021, featuring a new 3D-printed face and electric controls. [8]

The 2021 revival went viral on social media and earned mentions on Jimmy Fallon's The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon [9] [10] and international media outlets like CNN. [5]
