With many of this year's holiday parties taking place virtually over Zoom amid the pandemic, it's less about dressing to the nines and more about outdoing each other in the ugly sweater department. And why not? We’ll be snuggling up in our homes by the fire watching the snowfall, so there’s never been a better time to seek comfort over class.

To help you get into the holiday spirit (and maybe outshine your coworkers or friends and family), we’ve rounded up the weirdest and wackiest ugly Christmas sweaters—and Hanukkah sweaters—along with some festive face masks. Time to celebrate the end of 2020 (finally!).

1. This 'Home Alone' sweater

There are few holiday flicks more classic or more beloved than Home Alone. Take a page out of Kevin's book with this ugly sweater featuring what's arguably the most famous quote from the movie: "Merry Christmas, ya filthy animal." It's unisex, so anyone can wear it this season, and it has hundreds of positive reviews for being good quality and not shrinking in the wash.

2. This tree-rific hoodie

You can't bring your decorated tree wherever you go, but fortunately, you can be one. Lined with sequined ornaments and boasting a kangaroo-style pair of front pockets, it's an ugly holiday sweater that's both on-brand and functional. Reviewers say its hood contains extra lining so it stays on all day (because you're not actually dressed like a tree unless your star-shaped tree topper is on full display). With a five-star rating, customers have found themselves wearing it at holiday parties and beyond: "I saw this and had to have it. The sweatshirt quality seems good, and the decorations look like they'll hold up. It's warm and cozy and I get to look like a Christmas tree. What else could I ask for?"

Of its 1,500 reviewers, many say it’s a total crowd-pleaser: “This is the perfect shirt for that virtual tacky/ugly sweater party you’ve been invited to. It is totally unique and looks fabulous on.”

Many reviewers recommend sizing up if you’re looking to wear it as a second layer.

6. This tree-inspired sweater

Dressing like a tree has never looked so chic. As both a classy and quirky cardigan option, this best-seller from Target will glow you right up from head to toe with pearl “ornaments”. The cardigan has garnered a five-star rating largely because of how appropriate it is for year-round wear: “I walked past the holiday sweaters and spotted this super cute pearl cardigan. Not sure why it’s part of the ugly sweater section because it’s far from ugly. I plan on wearing it after the holidays are over,” says one reviewer.

With over 1,600 ratings, it’s one of Amazon’s most popular ugly sweater options. The sweater has brought customers so much joy it’s driven them to write extremely impassioned reviews like this one: “Literally transformed all the water in my neighborhood into egg nog the second I put it on. Hands-down greatest Christmas sweater of all time.”

9. This cropped sweater

It’s not often that you get to rock your midriff during the winter, but this pale blue crop is the perfect occasion to get into the holiday spirit in style.
