20 Ugly Christmas Sweaters on TV and in Film – From 'Housewives' to 'Arrow'

Quick, call the fashion police!


‘Tis the season to be jolly… and what better way to start things off with a smile than to point out some truly unattractive holiday wardrobe choices? Here are a handful of the ugliest Christmas sweater to be found on TV and in films.

“Office Christmas Party” (2016):  Kate McKinnon’s human resources rep in this ensemble comedy should have been ticketed by the fashion police.

“How I Met Your Mother”:  Being a moose’s caboose to Marshall’s front end was certainly a proof of Lily’s love.

“Hot in Cleveland”:  Betty White’s Elka would never let an opportunity pass to tease her besties.

“Bridget Jones’ Diary” (2001):  Bridget thought Mark Darcy might be Mr. Right… and then she saw this sweater.

“Real Housewives of Orange County”:  Danielle hosted an “Ugly Sweater” party, all in the name of charity. And, no, these outfits are not couture.

“Deck the Halls” (2006):  Matthew Broderick’s Christmas mope specialist wanted his kids to have a traditional holiday, matching sweaters and all.

“Arrow”:  Felicity’s mom added comic relief to a holiday party by giving Hanukkah some equal time.

“It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”:  While Charlie went for your standard Christmas sweater – with emphasis on the word “sweat” – Mac ripped off the sleeves of a “Noel” T-shirt for that edgy look.

“Community” (2011):  This Christmas episode had the study group joining the glee club. How those sweaters would cause anyone glee is beyond us.

Hallmark Channel Original Movie “A Shoe Addict’s Christmas” (2018):  Jean Smart plays a quirky guardian angel, who introduces Candace Cameron Bure to the ghosts of Christmases past, present and future. Unfortunately, Candace does not reciprocate by introducing Jean to a stylist.

“How the Grinch Stole Christmas” (2000):  Jim Carrey’s Grinch with the itty bitty heart also has itty bitty taste in clothing.

“Step Brothers” (2008):  This Will Ferrell-John C. Reilly comedy is proof that fashion sense – and lack there of – runs in the family. 

“Modern Family” (2009):  The show’s very first Christmas episode had the Dunphy family at their dysfunctional best, showing off their ugly sweaters in a video message to the kids’ grandma.

And “Modern Family” again (2011):  Tasked with wrapping gifts with Jay, Cam’s super-sensitive reaction to his father-in-law not “getting” his thoughtful gift could have been much worse… if Jay told him what he thought about this snowman vest.

“Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” (2015):  Darryl got upset when he realizes he was the only one observing National Christmas Sweater Day.

“Ugly Betty”:  Oh, Betty, Betty, Betty. The tacky snowman sweater you wore to Mode Magazine’s holiday party pretty much explains the title of the show.

“Love, Actually” (2003):  OK, OK. We know y’all love this movie, but John’s sweater looks like a peacock mated with an American flag. Just sayin’.

“Two and a Half Men” (2014):  Santa hanging onto his sled for dear life as it flies upside-down past the huge full moon… is a pretty great sweater… that is upstaged by that atrocity Alan is wearing.

“The Santa Clause 2” (2002):  That’s the way to butter up Santa, Molly (Shannon). Toss his face onto a sweater to keep him close to your heart.

“The Santa Clause 3” (2006):  Hey, Santa. You might want to stick to that red suit if you know what’s good for ya.
