Bunnies are usually associated with the spring seasons and are often depicted as being the animal that represents Easter. 

But Gemma Markland, from Wigan, is the proud owner of Stormi, a fluffy grey rabbit who instead loves Christmas.

The content creator said he is ‘obsessed’ with the festive season and added that he gets ‘excited’ as soon as he sees the decorations come out of storage. 

She said: ‘He will literally jump all over them, try and get involved to the point where he’s actually been found sat in the bauble box numerous times already this week.’ 

Gemma said she’s never known a rabbit to have ‘so much personality,’ adding that he is sassier than her boxer dog.

She then filmed a rather inquisitive Stormi sniffing the ornaments with his twitchy nose, before he started hopping on top of the tree, which was packed away.

The little rabbit looked comfortable and cosy, as he nestled his furry body inside the box of white baubles.

As soon as the green Christmas tree was up and decorated, Gemma then shared a clip of Stormi standing on his hind legs to see the glitzy fairy lights.

She added: ‘I am pretty sure I will find him sat under this tree for 90 per cent of the day, because for some reason he’s just obsessed.

‘He is the cutest little thing I absolutely adore him and I just thought I’d share this little fun fact about him.

‘I thought I’d tell you this story about how I think he is not the Easter bunny but he is the Christmas bunny.’ 

Stormi was then seen looking snug, lying underneath Gemma’s Christmas tree by the radiator for warmth.

She then picked up Stormi and gave him a big kiss, before saying that her followers adore him and always ask for updates on how he is doing.

Gemma boasts a whopping one million followers on Instagram and shares videos about the interior of her home.

The clip of Stormi racked up 421,000 likes and hundreds of comments from Instagram users.  

One wrote: ‘My bunny was exactly the same .. loved the Christmas tree, sadly aged 10 she went to bunny heaven.’

Rabbit.org recommends owners supervise their bunnies when they are let loose around Christmas trees, in case they nibble or tug branches or decorations.

They added that if the tree has not been treated with chemicals, it should be relatively safe for a bunny to chew on. 

The charity said to ensure that cords for electrical lights are hidden from pets, along with synthetic tinsel and garlands which can be harmful if ingested.

They said that pinecones are generally safe for rabbits and can make for festive chews and throw toys.
