In 2014, Krampus became everyone's favorite yule demon. As it grew in popularity in the United States and around the world, the Christmas of Krampus saw an explosion of illustrations, paintings, masks, costumes, quilts, origami and even baked goods to help celebrate the season. Here's a gallery of the best and most creative homages to the "child whipper."
