In the United States, wearing or creating ugly Christmas sweaters is a popular tradition to embrace the holiday spirit. People enjoy activities like baking cookies, singing festive songs called 'Christmas carols", hanging Christmas stockings, or decorating their trees with ornaments such as tinsels and baubles.

The trend of ugly sweaters began in the 1980s, inspired by American sitcoms where characters often wore oversized, brightly colored sweaters with kitschy designs. These sweaters featured decorations like jingle bells, tinsel, candy canes, elves, snowmen, gingerbread men, wreaths, mistletoe, reindeer, bows, and vibrant lights, aiming to be as eye-catching and over-the-top as possible.

Today, ugly Christmas sweaters are loved worldwide and are a funny tradition.
