Official Star Wars: The Mandalorian The Child/Baby Yoda Christmas Jumper: $34.99
If 2020 is superior to 2019 in one way, it's that the official Baby Yoda (or Grogu, if you prefer) merch is ample this year. Numskull is all about high-quality sweaters that are fully knitted, rather than printed, and this one adorably features The Child in his little carrier, complete with a Mandalorian helmet pattern across the bottom.

Ghost Of Multiverse Present Knitted Christmas Sweater: $54.99
Spider-Gwen has been one of our favorite Marvel superheroes for a long time, and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse cemented Gwen Stacy's Spider-Woman as one of our all-time fave characters. We love the way that this gorgeous sweater embodies her character, complete with her emblems and color scheme, while incorporating a few holiday elements. It's instantly recognizable and innovative all at once.

What's more festive and seasonal than making hot drinks and sitting down with the fam in front of the TV to stream Friends?

Official Fall Guys Christmas Jumper: $24.99
Our year just wouldn't have been the same without Fall Guys. Whether we're playing ourselves or watching our favorite streamers compete in Fall Guys tournaments online for big cash prizes, we can't get enough of the game, and we love this yarn representation of it, with various bean-shaped characters, Door Dash gates and platform patterns. Of course, the star of the show is the winning bean, complete with its winning crown.

Who doesn't love Wonder Woman? This festive sweater in Diana's signature red, gold and blue colors manages to feel super Christmassy without losing out on any of the bold details of her famous costume.

Gaudy Garland Ugly Christmas Cardigan: $54.95
When it comes to your Ugly Christmas Sweater Party, why be anything but bold? Despite the literal title of this cardigan including the words "gaudy" and "ugly," we love its festive touch and think it does just enough without being too over-the-top. Lined with garland, packed with glitter and decorated with actual baubles, it'll help you look like a living Christmas tree, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Dragon Ball Z Goku Kanji Holiday Sweater: $35.94
Perhaps the best ugly sweaters of all are the geeky ones you'll really understand if you're in the know. We're obsessed with this one modeled after Goku's iconic orange gi, but love that it feels super seasonal, too. We especially love the Flying Nimbus and Shenron accents. It's definitely the little details that count!

The Office Logo Sweater: $39.95
Few classic sitcoms are more beloved than The Office, so if you love the show, why not flaunt it with this The Office-themed holiday sweater? It's mostly a traditional Christmas sweater, but features the recognizable logo of the show at its center, with little red Santa hats on both figures for good measure.

Taco Bell Jingle Bells Taco Shells Holiday Sweater: $35.94
There are some things you never know you need in life until you're presented with them. This Taco Bell-inspired ugly sweater is one of those things. Funnily enough, the festive colors of green, red and yellow just feel authentically Taco Bell, and we love the angular patterns and bell and taco shapes scattered across this sweater. Plus, "Jingle Bells, Taco Shells" should have always been the lyrics to the song, anyway.
