13 Ugly Christmas Sweaters That’ll Steal the Show at Any (Virtual) Holiday Party
Ugly Christmas sweaters have proved to be much more than a passing fad, and the digital marketplace is teeming with every variation imaginable. And it's not limited to just holiday-themed designs, either. Today, you're just as likely to find a gaudy Santa sweater as you are a Darth Vader or Harry Potter one.
Just because the bulk of your holiday gatherings and parties will be virtual this year doesn't mean you shouldn't wear your holiday spirit quite literally on your sleeve. If you're not sure where to start, how about one of these flashy, festive, not-so-ugly Christmas sweaters.
