The holiday sweater's reputation is misaligned. Opting for a sweater over another wardrobe element has always been a stylish choice, December or not. The soft, comfortable knits braced against cold weather—or the embrace of said knits in order to summon festivity in a location not conducive to it—are crucial to enjoying the rituals of Christmastime. Whether you’re headed to a cheeky holiday party bedecked in tinsel or simply want a sweater to bundle into in front of the fireplace, we’ve rounded up the best 35 Christmas sweaters to keep you cozy this holiday season. Keep in mind that these sweaters may spark a craving for a steaming mug of hot chocolate.
