Ugly Christmas Sweater Alternatives That Are Even Weirder
Retire the Sweater, Unleash the Weird
Every December the same thing happens: twenty people show up to the party in the same blinking reindeer sweater and nobody remembers a single one. This year, skip the knitwear and go full chaos. Below are 15 ugly Christmas sweater alternatives from Amazon, from a costume that makes it look like an elf is carrying you on his shoulders and a jumpsuit that prints a cardigan over your underwear to a walking Christmas tree, a gingerbread man onesie and a fuzzy monster Santa suit. Pick one, walk in and let the sweater crowd quietly realize they've already lost.
Get a Piggyback Ride From an Elf
A costume that makes it look like one of Santa's elves is carrying you around the party.
-
This costume pulls off the oldest optical trick in the workshop: you are riding on an elf's shoulders. The fake legs dangle in front of you while your real legs walk around inside the elf's pants. Everyone at the party will wonder how the little guy got so strong. - Wear it to the office party, the ugly sweater contest or a holiday fun run and watch every phone in the room come out. It's ideal for parade nights, school events and Christmas bar crawls. Gift it to the friend who already owns every sweater ever made.
The Ugly Sweater That Forgot Its Pants
A full-body jumpsuit printed with a festive cardigan, a tie, briefs, bare legs and sock garters.
- From across the room it looks like you wore a classic holiday cardigan and simply gave up on pants. Up close it's one jumpsuit printed with a shirt and tie, briefs, bare legs and old-school sock garters. It's the ugly sweater and its most embarrassing secret in one outfit.
- Wear it to the ugly sweater party and watch the judges argue about whether it even counts. It's perfect for office parties, Christmas morning photos and a very confusing walk to the mailbox. Gift it to the uncle who always says he has nothing to wear.
Show Up as the Whole Christmas Tree
A walking tree costume with ornaments, garland, a star hat and wrapped presents for your feet.
- Why wear a sweater with a tree on it when you can just become the tree. This costume covers you in ornaments and tinsel garland, crowns your head with a big star and turns your shoes into wrapped presents. You'll be the only guest people try to put gifts under.
- Wear it to the office party, the neighborhood tree lighting or the family photo in front of the fireplace. It's a natural for Christmas parades, holiday charity runs and big family gift exchanges. Gift it to the friend who always volunteers to decorate the tree.
Run, Run as Fast as You Can in This Gingerbread Onesie
A cozy hooded gingerbread man jumpsuit that comes with a Santa hat, party glasses and a giant candy cane.
- Why bake the gingerbread man when you can simply become him. This hooded one-piece comes with candy buttons, a little bow tie, suspender overalls and wavy icing stripes on the cuffs, plus a Santa hat, holiday glasses and a giant candy cane. You'll smell like cookies in everyone's imagination.
- Wear it to the ugly sweater party, the family cookie decorating night or a lazy Christmas morning on the couch. It's perfect for holiday pajama parties, office costume days and couples who want to match with a candy cane. Gift it to the friend who eats the cookies meant for Santa.
Santa Got a Little Too Fuzzy This Year
A Santa suit with shaggy monster legs and furry clawed hands for the guest who steals Christmas.
- The top half says jolly old Saint Nick, but the bottom half says something crawled out of a cave in the mountains. The set comes with a classic Santa coat and hat, shaggy monster pants, furry clawed gloves and a sack for stolen presents. Nobody will know whether to hug you or hide the cookies.
- Wear it to the ugly sweater party, a holiday movie night or the family gathering where someone always grumbles about Christmas. It's perfect for Christmas parades and kids' events with a sense of humor. Gift it to the friend who pretends to hate the holidays.
Become the Elf Who Loves Christmas Way Too Much
A full movie-style elf costume with a pointy hat, a belted coat and the energy of a sugar rush.

- Wear it to the office party, a holiday movie marathon or the mall while loudly announcing that Santa is coming. It's a hit at Christmas parades, school fundraisers and group costume nights. Gift it to the friend who starts the Christmas music in early November.
The Suit That Says Business and Sleigh Bells
A full holiday suit with a jacket, pants and tie covered in trees, ornaments, stockings and candy canes.
- This is what a holiday sweater would wear if it got promoted to management. The jacket, pants and tie are covered head to toe in Christmas trees, ornaments, stockings, gift boxes and candy canes. You'll look like a very successful accountant who works only at the North Pole.
- Wear it to the office Christmas party, a holiday wedding or the company awards night where nobody else dared to dress up. It's perfect for Christmas Eve dinner, karaoke bars and family photos. Gift it to the coworker who takes ugly sweater day very seriously.
Walk In as a Six-Foot Candy Cane
A striped head-to-toe candy cane jumpsuit with a matching hat and a big bow tie.
- Some people bring candy canes to the party, and some people arrive as one. This striped jumpsuit spirals from your neck to your ankles, a matching hat finishes the hook on top and a big bow tie adds a touch of class. You'll look sweet, minty and only slightly unwell.
- Wear it to the ugly sweater party, a holiday parade or the cookie swap where you'll finally match the theme. It's a great pick for couples dressing as a gingerbread man and a candy cane. Gift it to the friend with the biggest sweet tooth in the family.
Report for Duty as a Life-Size Nutcracker
A toy soldier costume with a tall hat, a fake beard, a marching jacket and a little drum.
- Every year the nutcracker stands frozen on the mantel, and this year it's coming to the party. You get the tall soldier hat, the dramatic beard, the marching jacket and a drum to announce your arrival. You'll look like you escaped from a very fancy ballet backstage.
- Wear it to the office party, a ballet night or a holiday parade where marching is actually required. It's perfect for family gatherings where the kids want a real toy soldier to boss around. Gift it to the friend who stands perfectly still in every photo.
Santa's Long Johns With a Serious Warning
A one-piece union suit with a butt flap that reads Danger, Blasting Area, Keep Clear.
- This is what Santa wears under the big coat, and now it comes with a public safety warning. The classic one-piece long johns have a button-up back flap printed with Danger, Blasting Area, Keep Clear. It's honest, it's cozy and it's a little too accurate after Christmas dinner.
- Wear it to a Christmas pajama party, the morning gift opening or the cabin weekend with the whole family. It's perfect for holiday sleepovers, snow days and lazy movie nights by the fire. Gift it to the uncle who is famous for his after-dinner fireworks.
