While the ugly Christmas sweater has always been a holiday staple, these non-traditional Christmas sweaters are pushing to the forefront this season. With pop culture references and iconic meme renditions, these cozy pieces are sure to brighten up anybody's holiday.
Drake's Hotline Bling music video captured the heart's of Drake fans and even Donald Trump, so there's no surprise that the Dancing Drake Sweater is one of the most popular non-traditional Christmas sweaters. Also in line with pop culture referencing, the Doctor Who holiday knits highlight notable references from the sci-fi franchise.
Style is also to be considered when looking for a sweater to wear this season. While Save The Children's collection of sweaters are designed by models and British designers, Petals and Peacocks Cuddle Sweater is a minimal piece with major chicness.
