Who doesn't love a good holiday sweater? From truly ugly to only kinda hideous and hilarious to super cheeky, even celebs can't resist getting into a festive spirit with a fun top. After all, 'tis the season!

1 / 51

Chandler Powell and Bindi Irwin

The engaged couple donned ugly sweaters to ring in Christmas Eve. "All smiles because I’m in love with you, it’s Christmas and my sweater lights up..." Irwin captioned two holiday pics with Powell.


Eniko and Kevin Hart

The Harts both dressed up like Christmas trees for the funny man's Hart Beat Productions holiday party.


Luke Combs

"It might be national ugly sweater day, but I’ve got a beautiful family. Merry Christmas y’all," the "Beer Never Broke My Heart" singer captioned an Instagram pic while wearing, appropriately, a Miller Lite sweater as he posed with his fiancée, Nicole Hocking, and their dog.


Evan Peters

The actor's sweater declared that he was a "subpar gift giver." We'll have to ask his girlfriend, Halsey, how she feels about that!


Hugh Jackman

Jackman and Ryan Reynolds' ugly Christmas sweater prank continued for yet another year, with the Aussie actor getting the honor of wearing the pullover, which looks like a wrapped present, in 2019. "I can’t believe I agreed to wear the matching underwear too. #thesweaterreturns," Jackman captioned the silly pic, in which he's flashing a huge grin while standing next to Reynolds, who's in a black button-up and jeans.


Colton Underwood and Cassie Randolph

The Bachelor alum showed off his "naughty" ski hat and festive cat pullover as he posed for a pic next to his girlfriend, who was in her own feline-adorned holiday attire. "Thoughts on my ugly Christmas sweater? ?," Underwood captioned the 'gram, to which Randolph wrote in the replies, "Guess who likes cats now, you guys."


Kristi Yamaguchi

The Olympic gold medalist glided around in an Alaska Airlines sweater and Santa hat while hosting a skating clinic for underprivileged kids in the San Francisco Bay Area at Kristi Yamaguchi’s Downtown Ice in San Jose, California, which was also held in part with her Always Dream Foundation.

James joined McGee at the Los Angeles Lakers pro's Levi's Haus-hosted 2nd Annual Juglife Ugly Sweater Holiday Party -- and we're pretty sure McGee's pullover tops them all!

Momager of the decade! The BH90210 star did her Black Friday shopping in Malibu, California, while sporting a sweater with the KarJenner family matriarch's face on it that read "Santa works hard but Kris Jenner works harder."


Ashley Tisdale and Bridgit Mendler

Not only do they play sisters on TV, the Merry Happy Whatever stars also rock matching reindeer-and-snowflake-adorned sweaters!


Reese Witherspoon

The actress-producer had an ugly Christmas sweater contest at work, and the results were pretty epic -- just look at that happy smile on her face! Her preppy dog-themed top? Also a winner!


Ryan Reynolds

We think the Deadpool star is a present to us all, but he apparently doesn't feel the same way about pals Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal. "These f**king a**holes said it was a sweater party. ?," Reynolds captioned a pic of the trio, where he's the only one rocking an ugly Chrismas sweater -- and it's bow-adorned and all!

Joy Behar and Meghan McCain

The View co-stars finally saw eye to eye -- with their olive green sweaters! Both donned goofy holiday headbands and red lips to go with their ugly Christmas garb, which for Behar was a zip-up featuring Mr. and Mrs. Claus, while McCain's poncho was covered in ornaments. The duo are smiling in the pic, but McCain joked in the emoji-filled caption, "We'll fight again in 2019! Merry Christmas ya filthy animal!"
