Are you ready to step up your ugly Christmas sweater game? These eight sweaters feature designs from the Bah Hum Pug to Baby Yoda!

What’s the Christmas season without at least one ugly sweater party? No fun at all is my answer to that. You don’t have to wear ugly sweaters all month long or even to all your holiday parties, but it’s good to have at least one in your closet. Whether your holiday parties will be in-person or on Zoom, don’t be caught empty-handed if the invitation says, “Wear your favorite ugly Christmas sweater!” Don’t have any? We’ve got you covered. Take a look at these eight ugly Christmas sweaters.

If you’re a fan of The Rock, this is the sweater for you! Recently appearing in the wildly popular Red Notice, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and his acting career are references everyone at your holiday party will understand. So be prepared: if you’re wearing this sweatshirt, you might have conversations with people you’ve never spoken to before. Grab the sweater now so you’ll have it in time for your next ugly sweater party.

This Is My Ugly Christmas Sweater

Has this year made you a little bit more pessimistic than you usually are? Or are you not the type of person who loves themed parties? Would you rather wear your normal, everyday clothes to any event? If that’s the case, then “This Is My Ugly Christmas Sweater” has your name on it (not literally, of course – there’s no monogramming). At only $23.99, the price is definitely right compared to many of the other ugly sweaters out there. Choose from red or green and put a little bit of effort (but not too much) into your outfit for your next holiday party. 

LED Light Up String Light Christmas Sweater

Are you ready to light up the party? This ugly sweater with built-in light bulbs has you covered – literally, with working Christmas lights and a fun and festive design. It’s gaudy, it’s interactive, and it’s sure to start some illuminating conversations (see what I did there?). With six different modes for light patterns, you’ll be entertaining people throughout the whole night. But don’t wear it for too long because you don’t want it to get smelly – you can’t wash this sweater!

Festive Gingerbread Print Sweater

ASOS

Here’s an ugly sweater option that’s not actually all that ugly: ASOS has a festive gingerbread (and candy-cane!) print sweater that you can wear again and again throughout the season. If you love the idea of an ugly sweater party, but full-on gaudy isn’t really your style, this sweater is the one for you. It’s cute and Christmas-y without being overwhelming. Bonus point is you wear it while actually making a gingerbread house!

Christmas Confidential Graphic Sweatshirt

Modcloth

This is the perfect sweater for a Secret Santa party, but you can wear it to any holiday party you want. Santa’s mask makes him look a bit like Zorro on Modcloth’s Christmas Confidential Graphic Sweatshirt, and maybe that’ll be your conversation starter at your work holiday party! Also, if you tend to get too hot easily, this sweatshirt is a great option because it’s more lightweight than most ugly Christmas sweaters out there.

The Child With Holiday Lights Mandalorian Sweatshirt

The Mandalorian has become an extremely popular TV series since its release in 2019. If you’re a fan of the show (or if you’re looking for a Christmas present for someone who you know is a fan), check out The Child With Holiday Lights Mandalorian Sweatshirt from Disney. Also known as Baby Yoda or Grogu, The Child has become a popular character who’s also, well, a little bit ugly, making him the perfect start for an ugly Christmas sweater.

3D Photo-Realistic Ugly Christmas Suit and Tie Sweater

Faux Real has hit the nail on the head with their photo-realistic Christmas suit and tie long-sleeve t-shirt. Maybe you’re the kind of person who wears business professional clothing no matter what. Or, maybe you just like to go all out with your party outfits. Maybe you’ve been wearing sweatpants all year long as you’ve worked from home, and you’re ready to celebrate the holiday season looking a little bit more formal. This photo-realistic suit and tie is the ugly Christmas sweater you’re looking for without being either a sweater or a suit and tie (it’s a long-sleeve t-shirt). Impress everybody, or at least get a few laughs, with this one!

Bah Hum Pug Ugly Sweatshirt

Dog people, rejoice! There are plenty of dog-themed ugly Christmas sweaters out there, but this one is almost too good to pass up. Hanes’ Bah Hum Pug ugly sweatshirt will make you smile even if you feel like a Scrooge this holiday season. When you wear this sweatshirt, you’re sure to get some laughs. Plus, if you’re wearing it to a party where you don’t know many people, it’s an automatic conversation starter.

Don’t just wear plain old red or green to your next holiday party. An ugly Christmas sweater will bring you and the people around you at least a little bit more joy. If you don’t like any of these options, keep looking – there are thousands out there!
