The holiday season often prompts numerous festive clothing collections, but Pillsbury's Doughboy sweaters offer something completely different for the consumer with a sense of humor that's still looking to remain cozy.
The sweaters were all inspired by the brand's iconic Doughboy -- a jolly character that stars in the majority of Pillsbury's commercials and advertising material. Those interested can choose from two unique designs, both of which include a seasonal pun, and an adorable graphic. The first sweater reads "It's Lit" and features Doughboy wearing Christmas tree lights, while the other reads "Let it Dough, Let it Dough, Let it Dough."
In addition to the line, Pillsbury is running a contest which will award one lucky winner with a sweater.
