The Popeyes Ugly Christmas Sweater has been created by the QSR brand in partnership with UglyChristmasSweater.com as a seasonal garment that's sure to satisfy consumers with a penchant for fast food. The sweater is emblazoned with the brand's iconic orange and white color scheme as well as the Chicken Sandwich, which was introduced this past August to the delight (and dismay) of many consumers. This makes the sweater perfect for those who want to start up a conversation at holiday parties regarding whether Chick-fil-A retains the title of best chicken sandwich or if Popeyes is succeeding in dethroning the brand.
The limited-edition Popeyes Ugly Christmas Sweater is priced at $44.95 and is only available in a small number of examples.
