Ree Drummond goes big for the holidays, and that includes decking out her store, The Mercantile, with some of the most stunning Christmas decorations you'll ever see. But not everything in the store is beautiful. Amid all the pretty home décor and Ree-style blouses, you'll find shoppers and staff alike wearing some of the best ugly Christmas sweaters you've ever seen. 😂 Truth be told, it's hard to look at these gems without at least cracking a smile—there's just something about ugly Christmas sweaters that makes the holidays so much more fun!

The thing we love most about ugly Christmas sweaters is that there really are no rules. They can be flashy, funny, or even kind of cute (in a festive way, of course). They can be sequined or feature an intricate knitted pattern. They can be cottony and lightweight or super soft and warm, just like your favorite cozy winter staples. It's a great Christmas tradition to start with your nearest and dearest, like wearing matching family Christmas pajamas!

The funny holiday sweaters on this list aren't the kind you'd get from your relative as a kid and hide in your closet for the rest of the year—they're witty, intentionally tacky, and downright hilarious. Here, shop the best ugly Christmas sweaters because, let's be honest, it really wouldn't be the holidays without one!
