Ugly Christmas Sweater FAQ

What makes an ugly Christmas sweater funny?

A joke people get from across the room. Movie and TV quotes work best because everyone already knows the punchline: Buddy yelling “Son of a nutcracker” on the Elf sweater, the 8-bit Griswold chaos on the Christmas Vacation sweater, or Vader finding your lack of cheer disturbing. Sight gags work too, like the reindeer in sunglasses on the Let It Glow light-up sweater. Headed to a work party? Pick a joke you won’t have to explain to HR.

Are there matching ugly Christmas sweaters for couples or families?

Yes. The light-up reindeer couples sweater is unisex, so you can order one in each of your sizes and blink together all night. The Yelling at Cat meme couples sweater turns the famous meme into a two-sweatshirt set, one for each of you. For the whole crew, the personalized family Christmas sweaters print your family name on every sweatshirt, and the seller offers matching kids’ sizes too.

Can you get a personalized ugly Christmas sweater?

Yes. The personalized family Christmas sweaters come from an Etsy shop that prints your family name on a Family Christmas design, in six colors and adult unisex sizes from S to 3XL. Each one is made to order and personalized orders can’t be returned, so check the size chart and leave a few extra days before your party.

Is an ugly Christmas sweater a good white elephant gift?

It can be, as long as you pick a design almost anyone would wear. A licensed movie or TV sweater like the Christmas Vacation one or the Grogu wreath sweater is a safer bet than an inside joke. Go with a roomy size like L or XL since you don’t know who’ll end up with it, and tuck in a gift receipt. For more swap ideas, browse our white elephant gifts.
