National Ugly Christmas Sweater Day, celebrated every year on the third Friday of December, is a festive and joy-filled holiday dedicated to the loudest, tackiest, and most delightfully over-the-top Christmas sweaters imaginable. What started as a quirky fashion statement has become a worldwide celebration of holiday humor, nostalgia, and creativity.
This day encourages everyone to embrace the silly side of the holidays, put on their wildest sweater, and spread cheer through fun, laughter, and unapologetically bold fashion.
The History of National Ugly Christmas Sweater Day
Ugly Christmas sweaters first became popular in the 1980s, when brightly colored, heavily patterned holiday sweaters appeared in TV shows, movies, and pop culture. Characters like Clark Griswold in National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation helped solidify the trend.
National Ugly Christmas Sweater Day began in 2011, launched by a group of college students in Vancouver who wanted to celebrate holiday fun in a playful, lighthearted way. The idea quickly spread internationally, helped by social media, themed parties, and charity events.
Today, the day is embraced by schools, offices, families, and friends worldwide — turning the third Friday of December into a fashion extravaganza of lights, tinsel, pom-poms, and reindeer faces.
