The Christmas adjective used as a supplement for cool, sick, or awesome. States great feelings toward an object or individual. It is considered a great complement and is only to be used by those worthy enough for it.
Christmas movies are tinsel, especially Elf.

Will Ferrell is tinsel.

If you're good enough to use this word, you're pretty tinsel.

Tinsel is another word to describe a situation as being cool or amazing. Ergo "this is so Tinsel". It can also be used to describe anything as being cool or amazing. "You are so Tinsel".
"This is so Tinsel". "You are so Tinsel."
