Also find out if these five trendy holiday buys are actually worth it.

Light-Up Narwhal Christmas Sweater

• Price: $55.99 (originally $69.99)

Dress up like a blue narwhal with this ugly sweater this holiday season. It says, “Bye Buddy hope you find your dad” on the front and has snowflakes that light up. You’ll stand out, especially if you’re next to a sparkly blue-and-white tree. It comes in adult medium, large and extra large.

‘This Is as Jolly as I Get’ Christmas Sweater

• Price: $47.99 (originally $59.99)

Ready to attend a holiday party, but don’t want to seem too excited to be there? Nab this “This is as jolly as I get” Christmas sweater. It’s black and grey with twinkling white lights that have either a solid, blinking or strobing effect. As with most of these sweaters, you will need batteries — AA batteries in this case.

‘Peanuts’ Ugly Christmas Sweater

• Price: $55.99 (originally $69.99)

It’s hard to find someone who doesn’t know those old “Peanuts” comics. After all, the original strip ran for around 50 years.

Show your Christmas spirit with this light-up Snoopy Dog Christmas sweater. It’s ugly, but it’s also cute and festive with all that red, white and green. If you want it fitted, size down.

Ghost Face Christmas Sweater

• Price: $55.99 (originally $69.99)

The seventh “Scream” movie is coming out next year, so now’s the time to pick up some officially licensed merchandise. This Ghost Face Christmas sweater is surprisingly cute with its bedazzled hearts, silver pom-poms and rhinestones. In addition to the spooky villain themselves, it’s even got a 3D plastic knife with pink star glitter. On the front, it says, “You’re cute when you’re scared.”

‘Elf’ Christmas Sweater

• Price: $47.99 (originally $59.99)

Who doesn’t love Buddy from the classic movie, “Elf”? This light-up Christmas sweater is designed in his image, so you can show off your love in style. It’s all sorts of green and red with the phrase, “Smiling’s my favorite” on the front.

Art the Clown Christmas Sweater

• Price: $55.99 (originally $69.99)

Not quite ready to let go of Halloween? This light-up Art the Clown sweater is a tad spooky while still being festive and just as ugly as you’d hope. It says, “Holidays are terrifying” which, depending on your celebration plans, might be true. It’s very slasher-chic with retro string lights, tinsel pom-poms and that terrifying (get it) graphic.

‘Making Spirits Bright’ Christmas Sweater

• Price: $55.99 (originally $69.99)

Not every ugly sweater has to be spooky or truly eye-watering. This sweater is mostly black and red, but it has a cute ghost with a festive Christmas cap embroidered onto it. It’s still in the usual style — pullover, crewneck and long sleeves — with sewn-on bells, ornaments and working string lights, so it fits the bill for any ugly sweater party.

‘Dead Inside But It’s Christmas’ Sweater

• Price: $55.99 (originally $69.99)

Bring back the gothic look with this “When you’re dead inside but it’s Christmas” ugly sweater. It’s red and black with a ribcage graphic dead center. It’s also got a corset ribbon and bow tie in the front middle and along the sleeves. Pop in those AA batteries and you’ll light up any party, whether you want to or not.

‘A Christmas Story’ Sweater

• Price: $55.99 (originally $69.99)

Another classic around this time of year is “A Christmas Story.” So, why not bring it back in 2025 with this light-up leg lamp Christmas sweater? It’s iconic, festive and a little bit awkward — perfect for those holiday parties. It even plays sounds.

Bob Ross Christmas Sweater

• Price: $47.99 (originally $59.99)

In honor of the late Bob Ross is this light-up Christmas sweater. It’s a little bit ugly without being off-putting with twinkling, green trees, multicolored lights and the happy phrase, “Have yourself a happy little Christmas.” And, of course, it’s got the famous artist’s face on it, complete with that epic beard.
