It’s almost that time of year again when you must decide which Christmas jumper to wear on the big day, at your office party, or when you’re out and about buying your stocking fillers. Love or loathe them, Christmas jumpers offer a rare opportunity to showcase some over-the-top colour, wild designs and your love of the yuletide period. Many businesses encourage competitions for the best Christmas jumper, so make sure you’re in the running to win a prize!

It just so happens that Christmas jumpers and nerd/geek culture go together like mince pies and red wine. So join us as we pick out a few of the best 2023 Xmas jumper offerings you can buy this year…

Harry Potter R For Ron Weasley Sweater

£60.00

“Hey, look — Harry’s got a Weasley sweater, too!” — Fred and George Weasley.

Christmas has always been associated with the Harry Potter Wizarding World. Most of the films were released at that time of year, and every book usually included a few chapters set at Christmas, leading many readers to dream about spending the festive season at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Fans will recall the humorous scene in The Philosopher’s Stone when the Weasleys all received a jumper hand-knitted by their mother, Molly Weasley, on Christmas morning. This smart replica from Hamleys Toy Store recreates Ron Weasley’s sweater, complete with an oversized ‘R’ initial – a great choice for Harry Potter fans who want to go niche this year.

Hellfire Club Ugly Christmas Sweater

£50.00

Looking to win your office Christmas jumper day competition? We’ve found the ideal festive pullover from the world of Stranger Things, with a Santa-hat-wearing devil urging fans to ‘Have A Hellfire Christmas’. The black and red colour scheme creates the ultimate yuletide garment with smart added hints of gold and silver to deck the design out a bit – and check out those flying V guitar logos at the top! We spotted this jumper on the official Netflix online store.

Lord of the Rings: The One Ring Christmas Jumper

£45.00

Keep it secret, keep it safe. The Lord of the Rings is another franchise closely associated with Christmas, with all the films initially released in December. This eye-catching jumper has a red and white Christmassy colour scheme, which contrasts nicely with the golden ring forged by Sauron the Deceiver. The addition of the corrupted Elvish black speech writing makes a nice addition to this fantasy-inspired Xmas sweater. You can grab this one over at Menkind.

Star Wars Darth Vader Humbug Kids’ Christmas jumper – Red

£19.99

Want to let your kids join in the fun? We spotted this one over at Zavvi UK. We all love a Scrooge-worthy ‘Bah, Humbug’ at Christmas, so who better to add some grumpiness to the seasonal period than the Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Vader?

Joker HaHa Holidays Christmas Jumper

£45.00

This officially licensed Batman jumper shows the fearsome Joker enjoying the Christmas spirit. With a zany mix of lurid green, purple, red and black, this is certainly one of the more attention-grabbing offerings from Menkind.

Harry Potter Gryffindor Quidditch Jumper

£39.99

Continuing the Harry Potter trend, this replica Quidditch team jumper, with rich, thick burgundy-red wool, has quite the Christmas feel. Wear it as you hunt down the Golden Snith during your post-Christmas-lunch games.

Personalised Photo Sweatshirt

£42.00

Perhaps you can’t find what you’re after this year. In which case, why not make your own Christmas jumper at Prezzy Box? With this attach-your-own-photo option, you can put anything you like. Maybe you want to make your family chuckle with a picture of Grandad asleep on the couch from the previous year, or you want to show your boss wearing a Santa hat. The festive possibilities are endless.
