These 15 Christmas Sweaters Are Funnier Than Elf

Whether you’re preparing for an upcoming ugly sweater contest or just want to show up your obnoxious cousin at the family party, we found some of the ugliest and just plain hilarious Christmas sweaters money can buy. No, candy canes are not a form of currency. We do accept pie, however.

When selecting a funny Christmas sweater, you have a plethora of options to choose from. Some feature pop culture icons like Cardi B and Dwight Schrute, while others are interactive and require a level of dexterity that becomes harder with each glass of Trader Joe’s Eggnog Liqueur.

Give them as gifts for a Mrs. Weasley moment, or don them yourself to be the life of the party. If you’re not on the naughty list already, some of these will put you there. It’s more fun here anyway. We have Kohl’s cash. And Bitcoin.

Funny Christmas Sweaters
