26 inappropriate ugly Christmas sweaters for 2023 holiday parties

There are two types of Christmas sweaters. One to wear to your family’s holiday gathering, and another to wear to your buddy’s. What’s the difference? Ideally, the former would be handsome, cozy, and cute. Maybe it features Santa or a reindeer, and (at most) a family-friendly Christmas pun.

But the latter? As you’ll find on our list, all bets are off.

If you’re the kind to make a joke or two about Santa’s bells or having a big package under the tree, then this is the inappropriate ugly Christmas sweater guide for you.

After all, Christmas is the time to be jolly, and the best way to do that is with a unique holiday sweater. Granted, that depends on your personal sense of humor, so scroll with caution. A word to the wise: many of our entries are NSFW, and we certainly wouldn’t recommend you wear them to your job’s holiday party.

But if slapping on a sweater with a dirty, holiday-themed pun sounds like the perfect way to be merry and bright this holiday season, have at it. It’s your life.
