Everyone has heard of the โugly Christmas sweater.โ You know, the one thatโs so hideous you wouldnโt be caught dead wearing it. But the trend has become so popular that people often have parties where the only way you can attend is if you show up in the most disgusting holiday sweater you have. And the uglier the better.
The ugly Christmas sweater first appeared in the 1980s. At that time, it was featured on a situation comedy show. Before long, this tacky sweater was all the rage. Although no one knows for sure, Vancouver, Canada stakes claim to have been the birthplace of the ugly Christmas sweater. Regardless, itโs something that everyone now has but they only pull it out during the holiday seasonโฆall for good laughs, of course.
โHair Treeโ
The 12 Days of Christmas sure got a new take with this manโs Christmas sweater. We will never be able to unsee this, but he does gets some points for thinking outside the box. Surely he won at his local party for the โugliestโ sweater of them all.

Itโs a Christmas treeโฆ
โฆcomplete with ornaments. Not only is this thing horrendous but what do you want to bet itโs super itchy. This is the kind of thing that causes nightmares.
Too many sweets
When an 11-year-old boy was tasked with designing an ugly Christmas sweater, this is what he came up with. He probably got the idea from first-hand experience. We can all relate.
For the diehard cat lover
Thereโs nothing wrong with loving cats. But there is something wrong with this sweater. Itโs a little muchโฆactually, itโs a lot too much.
Old Saint Nick
Honey, we hate to be the bearer of bad news. But Nicolas Cage doesnโt quality as โOld Saint Nick.โ By the way, she won first prize for the ugliest Christmas sweater at the office party.
Ugliness times three
Okay, all of these sweaters are super tacky. But hands down, the one on the right shouldnโt even be legal. There are no words other than โdoes anyone else feel nauseated?โ
This one takes the cake
Weโre a little confused about this sweater. The guy looks completely shocked when he was announced as the first-place winner. We canโt figure out why heโd find that so surprising.
Now you see me and now you donโt
As far as weโre concerned, thereโs only one reason someone would wear this sweater. To hide from an ex while attending a party. Yeah, thatโs not going work.
A masterpiece
At least it is in his mind. Rather than buy an ugly Christmas sweater, this guy decided to knit one. While his knitting skills arenโt that bad, his choice of colors and design is an entirely different thing.
Two in one
This man decided to merge two trends into one โ the leg lamp and an ugly Christmas sweater. Letโs just say that neither one works. On a positive noteโฆhe probably got a ton of laughs although we donโt think thatโs what he was going for.
Alrighty then
We recommend you shield your eyes from this oneโฆitโs that ugly. And not only that, but it doesnโt make sense. Whatโs with the milk and why is Santaโs booty so big?
Say three nice things
Well, itโs sparkly. And this guy has an interesting interruption of angels. Finally, that miniature tree on his shoulder is a nice touch. You can stop snickering now.
Heโs growing tentacles
Oh, wait. Those are supposed to be the reindeerโs antlers. And no, thatโs not a bowling ball but Rudolphโs nose. Itโs all so confusing.
Going to the extreme
A wife went all out to make an ugly Christmas sweater for her husband. But do you know whatโs sad? She put in a lot of time and effort only for it to end up looking this atrocious.
Thatโs just gross
At some point in this guyโs life, someone told him a hairy chest is sexy. So, when it came time to make an ugly Christmas sweater, he knew exactly what to do. Buddyโฆthat person lied to you.
Sheโs going to be disappointed
A young woman made this sweater for her boyfriend. Whether it was meant to be an ugly Christmas sweater or not, weโre pretty sure of one thing. Heโs not going to put a ring on it.
How pathetic
You can tell this is a professionally made sweater. You know, the kind you purchase from a department store. But considering itโs so ugly, why would anyone spend money on it, let alone wear it?
Very disturbing
What part of having dinosaurs devour innocent reindeer is okay? Clearly, this person needs therapy. Letโs hope their kids never see this or theyโll be scarred for life.
She is one with the fireplace
This woman is having some kind of Zen moment. But when designing this ugly sweater, she didnโt think things through very well. You see, no one will get it unless she walks around with her arms spread out.
Everything but the kitchen sink
If you want to make an ugly Christmas sweater, you could do what this woman did. She put everything on it except the kitchen sink. Well, we havenโt seen the back so maybe itโs there.
Sure, why not?
If youโre going to design an ugly Christmas sweater, you might as well go with Miley Cyrusโ Wrecking Ball. After all, that has everything to do with Christmas, right? Note the sarcasm.
No embarrassment
Most people would feel mortified to have to wear this ugly Christmas sweater. Not that thereโs anything wrong with Harry Potter, but like the Miley Cyrus sweater, thereโs no connection to this holiday whatsoever. Itโs just tacky.
Blinded by the light
Do you get the feeling that this guy likes to be the center of attention? Otherwise, why in the world would he wear a sweater this bright. Not only is it blinding but itโs also ugly.
Sheโs a bit confused
From an anatomical perspective, this ugly Christmas sweater would work much better on a man. Maybe sheโs trying to get a message across. Then again, perhaps sheโs just a little cooky.
