After someone joked about people confusing Tim Hortons with Tim Burton, the coffee chain had the perfect response.

Back in October, someone tweeted a hilarious quote that said, "isn't Tim Burton a restaurant in Canada?"

Tims got in on the fun almost two months after the original tweet was posted.

On December 15, they shared a gif of Jack Skellington putting festive lights up to his eyes from The Nightmare Before Christmas along with #IfMyLifeWereAChristmasMovie.

If you aren't familiar with that movie, it's a Tim Burton classic.

Someone else responded to the coffee chain's tweet and aptly renamed the Timbit to the "TimBurt."

This is almost like when someone tweeted that they didn't know that Tim Hortons was named after Tim Horton, a Canadian hockey player.

The official Twitter account also had the best response then.
