Tofurky's limited-edition ugly Christmas sweaters help to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the brand's Turk’y Roast, all the while supporting the conservation nonprofit WildAid with 100% of the proceeds. The quirky and colorful holiday sweaters have fun designs and are not just about giving back, as they can also help to spark interesting conversations.
While the 'Say Yum' design references the growing popularity of plant-based foods with a twist on classic patterns featuring forks and knives, the 'High Five' ugly Christmas sweater shows a Tofurky sausage giving a high-five to a hot dog bun, representing unity and a "the approaching 2020 election with best wishes for a merry and politically air-tight holiday."
Tofurky sees that many vegans, vegetarians, flexitarians and environmental activists will enjoy sporting its sweaters this holiday season.
