24 Ugly Christmas Sweaters That'll Make You Think "Wow, That's Actually Kinda Cute"

Ugly-cute is the ultimate holiday aesthetic.

Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's.

1. A festive sweater that's the perfect length for wearing with leggings. Honestly it's so flowy and long you might just find yourself wearing it to bed.

2. A sweater with a scooped hemline and purposely oversized fit, so it's basically made for curling up on the couch with a giant mug of hot cocoa.

3. A super smiley sweatshirt that'll make you happy just by looking at it. If only there was a way to put Santa hats on all our emojis.

4. An outrageously adorable sweater with a corgi prancing in the snow, which I feel a bit bad for including in this list because it is 0% ugly and 100% high-key cute.

5. A comfy cardigan decorated with actual garland and ornaments, so you can transform yourself into a walking, talking Christmas tree.

8. A pop-tastic sweater that'll have you singing 🎵 Merry Christmas... HAP-PY HOL-I-DAYS! 🎵 every time you wear it. We really don't talk about NSYNC's Christmas album enough.

10. A cheery fair isle sweater by Tommy Hilfiger featuring a sweet little polar bear right in the center, which is truly as festive as it gets.

11. A marvelous Mickey-themed pullover for all the Disney fanatics who really wish they were spending the holidays at Walt Disney World...until they remember the lines are outrageously long right now.
