Ugly sweater parties are not just for people anymore. Below are six knits we like for photos, parties and short winter walks, plus what each one is made of.
How We Picked
Every sweater on this list is in stock in at least one size, comes in X-small to XX-large, and lists its fabric on the product page. We left out styles with bells, pom-poms or glued-on decorations, because small parts can come loose. Browse the full Christmas sweater collection for more.
1. Embroidered Christmas Tree Dog Sweater
A red knit with green textured trees and white snowflakes. The Embroidered Christmas Tree Dog Sweater is made of 44% rayon, 28% nylon and 28% PBT, and the product page describes it as soft and breathable with a thermal feel.
2. Christmas Tree Bow Dog Embroidered Sweater
The same idea in pink, with red bow accents and snowflake prints. It uses the same 44% rayon, 28% nylon and 28% PBT. See the Christmas Tree Bow Dog Embroidered Sweater.

5. Chillin with My Snowmies Ugly Christmas Sweater
Three snowmen in sunglasses on a green knit. The Chillin with My Snowmies Ugly Christmas Sweater is described as luxurious angora wool. It mainly made of 44% rayon, 28% nylon and 28% PBT.

Reindeer, Santa, trees and snowflakes in color blocks, with a thermal turtleneck. The Christmas Reindeer Color Block Sweater is crafted in 80% chemical fiber and 20% fleece.
Which One Should You Pick?
For a family photo, pick a color that stands out against your dog’s coat: the red tree sweater on a dark dog, or the black ugly sweater on a white one. For a party where your dog will be on the move, choose a pullover with ribbed cuffs so the sleeves stay in place.
For the days after Christmas, the Knitted Fleece Dog Sweater gives you ribbed knit in midnight blue and medium purple.
Keep the Holidays Safe
The AKC advises against leaving your dog unattended while they are wearing a sweater. Take it off before your dog goes into a crate or stays home alone.
Holiday decorations need a second look too. Ingested tinsel could even require surgery, according to the ASPCA.
Find the Right Size
Measure your dog’s chest girth and back length, then check the Fitwarm size chart. For fit and photo tips, read our guide to choosing a holiday dog sweater, or shop all Christmas sweaters.
If the chest girth falls between two sizes, size up. A sweater that pulls across the chest will ride up every time your dog sits down.
