How to choose a Christmas jumper

Start with how you’ll wear it. If it’s for Christmas Jumper Day at work or school, you want something comfortable enough to sit in all day. For a pub crawl or a Christmas party, go as loud as you like. And if you’ll be at the dinner table, a lighter sweatshirt saves you from overheating once the roast potatoes come out.

Fabric makes a big difference. Proper knits are warmer and look more traditional, while printed sweatshirts are lighter, cheaper and often softer. Most novelty jumpers are acrylic or polyester, so they can feel a bit scratchy or bobble after a few washes. That’s the trade-off for the price.

Christmas jumpers for the whole family

Matching family Christmas jumpers are a favourite for card photos and Christmas Eve. Little ones are covered in our kids’ Christmas jumpers, with plenty of light-up and character styles. Sizes often vary between the adult and children’s versions of the same design, so check each one separately.

If a jumper feels too easy, step it up with a full outfit from our elf costumes or Santa and Mrs Claus costumes, or browse all our Christmas fancy dress.

Sizing and care tips

  • Size up for layering. Novelty jumpers often run small and short in the body, so go up a size if you want to wear a shirt underneath. Our costume size guide explains how to measure.
  • Wash inside out, cool. It keeps prints and sequins intact and reduces bobbling.
  • Order early. Popular sizes go fast in the run-up to Christmas Jumper Day.

When is Christmas Jumper Day?

Christmas Jumper Day is held every December and raises money for Save the Children. The exact date changes each year, so check the charity’s website, and pick your jumper early because popular sizes sell out beforehand.

What is the difference between a Christmas jumper and an ugly Christmas jumper?

A regular Christmas jumper can be smart and cosy, like a Fair Isle knit. An ugly Christmas jumper is deliberately over the top, with clashing colours, tinsel, pom-poms or silly slogans, and it’s meant to get a laugh.

Do Christmas jumpers come up small?

Quite often, especially cheaper novelty styles. Check the chest measurement on the listing and size up if you’re between sizes or want room for a shirt underneath.

How do you wash a light-up Christmas jumper?

Take the battery pack out first, then hand wash or use a cool, gentle cycle with the jumper inside out. Let it dry flat rather than tumble drying.

Are Christmas jumpers a good Secret Santa gift?

Yes, a funny jumper is a safe and popular Secret Santa choice. Go for a generous size if you’re unsure, as a jumper that’s slightly big is more wearable than one that’s too tight.
