74 Ugly Christmas Sweater Ideas So You Can Be Gaudy and Festive

36. The Drinking Game Sweater

This sweater looks like a bullseye. It has velcroid balls stuck to the bull’s eye so you have people pull the balls off and try to hit the bull’s eye.

However, if you miss the mark, then you must drink. It is an interesting game for an adult ugly sweater party.

43. Elf on the Shelf

So many families get into Elf-on-the-shelf each year at Christmas. I tried it with my kids, and they never got into it.

However, so many other families have found that it is a great way to encourage their children at Christmas and add some excitement to the season. This is why I think this sweater is so original and just fun all the way around.

44. Ugly Holiday Outfit

This holiday outfit is cute in my opinion, but it definitely isn’t something that you’ll want to wear on a regular basis.

However, if you’d like a festive outfit to wear to a party, then consider this cheerful skirt, candy-striped leggings, and add a festive shirt. You’ll definitely stand out.
