Best geek Christmas jumpers and ugly sweaters

It’s Christmas time, there’s no need to be afraid… of an ugly sweater or Christmas jumper.

In fact, it’s time to embrace the madness of a garish garment covered in snowflakes, and other, usually, unacceptable patterns – especially if you’re a geek, like us.

There are some amazing geek-tastic ugly sweaters and Christmas jumpers out there. Here are our favourites.

Baby Yoda, AKA The Child, is undeniably cute – even more so when adorning a Christmas jumper. If you’ve enjoyed The Mandalorian, you’ll love this too.

This Ghostbuster’s themed Christmas jumper looks like Slimer has really gone to two on it.

The attention to detail is superb on this one though. It’s complete with slime, the classic Ghostbusters logo, Stay Puft marshmallow man and more.
