Christmastime is one of the best times of the year, if you ask me. People seem to be in great moods, your favorite stores are holding epic sales, you get to shop for all of the people you care most about, and the magical festivities are out of this world. There's something extremely warm, cozy, and welcoming about walking by string lights and decorations wherever you go. And it only seems appropriate to rock some of the best ugly Christmas sweaters while doing the festive activities on your bucket list, amiright?
Ugly Christmas sweaters are a holiday season essential. You just can't do Christmas right without them. Whether you're showing it off at the family holiday party (although, you'll never beat Grandma's ugly Christmas sweater), heading to the office party dressed like an actual elf, hitting up SantaCon with your crew, or just chilling at home making your favorite cookies, it's the time of year to put your merriest foot forward.
As we jump right into prime sweater weather, it's the perfect time to go shopping for this season's staple look. These nine ugly holiday sweaters make the perfect pair with some Christmas cheer and spirit. Which one will you be rocking?
