40+ of the Ugliest Christmas Sweaters Ever Made and Worn

There are two fundamental facts when it comes to winter — first, there’s nothing like putting on a cozy sweater when the weather turns frosty. Second, everything feels warmer with a little Christmas spirit sprinkled on top. Sadly, when putting these two facts together, instead of a magical experience, we get the Ugly Christmas Sweater! Luckily, we think those over-the-top garments are absolutely hilarious. So, we’ve gathered our favorite ugly Christmas sweaters from across the internet. Merry Christmas!

Just a Little Further

A core memory of childhood Christmases has to be seeing our parents strain and struggle to reach the very top of the tree to put that all-important star in its place of honor. This fashionista has definitely managed to capture that moment.

We love how much thought and effort was put into this wearable art piece. With so much going on here, though, this lies firmly in the 'ugly sweater' category. Just look at those carpet fringes! A true masterpiece of ugliness.

Work Those Biceps

Here's a terrible sweater that also doubles as an all-day exercise routine as, clearly, with the way this shirt was decorated, this lady has to hold her arms out throughout the day.

Still, we do appreciate the creativity that went into this design. Although, we do think some more thought and effort could have been put into making the fire feel less like clip-art. We wonder if she has a design to replace leg day, too.

What a View

There are just so many hilariously fantastic holiday spirit accessories that have been added to this sweater. We're truly in awe of that sweet reindeer on his shoulder and the adorable gingerbread plushie in his belly bowl.

What better way is there to celebrate the holiday season than being out and about? After all, all our wintery friends deserve to see the great big world - from the comfort of this guy's belly contraption, of course.

Geek-Tastic!

A fantastic way to show your holiday spirit while still keeping it personalized is by creating some wonderfully punny, Christmas-appropriate geeky merch. This sweater definitely checks all the Enterprise boxes.

Plus, she really chose the most appropriate character in the show. Spock, of course, is the embodiment of merriment and cheer... right? In any case, we love her holiday and her fandom spirit! "Live long and prosper!"
