  We explore the possibility that an $SU(2)_L$ triplet scalar with hypercharge
$Y=0$ is the origin of the $95\,$GeV diphoton excess. For a small mixing angle
with the Standard Model Higgs, its neutral component has naturally a sizable
branching ratio to $\gamma\gamma$ such that its Drell-Yan production via $pp\to
W^*\to H H^\pm$ is sufficient to obtain the desired signal strength, where
$H^\pm$ is the charged Higgs component of the triplet. The predictions of this
setup are: 1) The $\gamma\gamma$ signal has a $p_T$ spectrum different from
gluon fusion but similar to associated production. 2) Photons are produced in
association with tau leptons and jets, but generally do not fall into the
vector-boson fusion category. 3) The existence of a charged Higgs with
$m_{H^\pm}\approx\!(95\pm5)\,$GeV leading to $\sigma(pp\to
\tau\tau\nu\nu)\approx0.4\,$pb, which is of the same level as the current limit
and can be discovered with Run 3 data. 4) A positive definite shift in the $W$
mass as suggested by the current global electroweak fit.
