(Pocket-lint) – It’s Christmas time, there’s no need to be afraid… of an ugly sweater or Christmas jumper.
In fact, it’s time to embrace the madness of a garish garment covered in snowflakes, and other, usually, unacceptable patterns – especially if you’re a geek, like us.
There are some amazing geek-tastic ugly sweaters and Christmas jumpers out there. Here are our favourites.
Die Hard Christmas

Now I have a machine gun! There’s much debate as to whether Die Hard is a Christmas movie or not, but you can wear the jumper from the movie nonetheless.
Santa Jaws is coming to town
squirrel_widget_6395934
Numskull’s new range for 2021 contains this snappy little number. Mainly because Jaws might snap your arm off if you get too close.
Boba Festive
squirrel_widget_3661606
This subtle – well, subtler than most – Christmas jumper features Boba Fett and Han Solo from Empire Strikes Back.
Make it Marvel
squirrel_widget_3661644
Numskull has a whole collection of amazing superhero jumpers. There’s one each for Captain America, Spider-Man, Iron Man and Deadpool. Check out this one featuring the web slinger.
Christmas is Coming

So, Game of Thrones might be long over, but that doesn’t mean you don’t still love it. And iIf you’re a fan of all things Thrones, this is probably one of the best Christmas jumpers we’ve seen.
E.T. around the tree
squirrel_widget_6395963
Chris Rea might have been driving home for Christmas, but you can “phone home” with this festive E.T. treat.
Merry Street Fighter
squirrel_widget_3661700
Street Fighter featured on your Christmas jumper? Yes please. We love the KO-KO-KO instead of HO-HO-HO writing.
Space Invaders Christmas Jumper
squirrel_widget_6395853
Retro gaming. Whether you’re into it or not, you can’t help to admire where the whole thing started. And Space Invaders is an utter classic and you’ll really look the part this Christmas.
Cracking fireplace Christmas jumper
squirrel_widget_6395876
Christmas jumpers come in all shapes, sizes and styles, but how many do you know that are interactive? This one lets you download an app, then use your phone’s screen to brighten up the front with a warming fireplace scene.
B.T.T.F. at X.M.A.S.
squirrel_widget_6395992
We reckon it’d be easy to generate 1.21 gigawatts just by rubbing a balloon up against this Back to the Future Christmas sweater.
Galactic Helmets Star Wars
We love this Star Wars jumper so much, we might even consider wearing it throughout the rest of the year too. You can pick it up from 80stees.com.
Mario and Luigi Christmas Jumper
squirrel_widget_3661857
Yep, that’s right. Mario, Luigi and even Bowser celebrate Christmas! And who doesn’t want them on their festive jumper?
DC Comics Batman jumper
squirrel_widget_3661833
Feeling a bit more flamboyant? How about this striking number from Numskull. A bright and colourful Batman Christmas jumper with a retro vibe.
Baby Yoda Knitted Christmas Jumper
squirrel_widget_3661871
Baby Yoda, AKA The Child, is undeniably cute – even more so when adorning a Christmas jumper. If you’ve enjoyed The Mandalorian, you’ll love this too.
Star Wars Stormtrooper Up to Snow Good
squirrel_widget_3661911
Stormtroopers – the backbone of the Empire. Known for not being able to shoot very well and now apparently great for Christmas jumpers too.
Beam Me Up, Santa!
squirrel_widget_6395905
Channel your inner geek and show off your love for all things Trek with this in-your-face jumper. We can’t say wearing it will make you live long and prosper, but at least you’ll look gloriously geeky.
GTA Christmas
squirrel_widget_3661968
You’ll really be able to steal Christmas with this one. Ahem.
Happy Hoff-mas
squirrel_widget_6396111
Who doesn’t want a bit of The Hoff singing “jump in my sleigh” at Christmas?
