The Best Christmas Jumpers For Christmas Jumper Day 2025

On the JJ Barnes Blog, get ready for Christmas Jumper Day 2025 with this ultimate guide to the best styles so you can find the perfect festive knit and help Save the Children while looking ridiculously good (or gloriously ridiculous)!

Mark your calendars – Friday 12th December 2025 is officially Christmas Jumper Day!

Run by Save the Children, this brilliant annual event encourages everyone – schools, offices, families and friends – to wear their most festive (or downright ridiculous) Christmas jumper and donate £2 (or £1 for kids at school) to help children around the world. Last year it raised millions, and 2025 is set to be bigger and sparklier than ever.

Whether you go classic, hilarious, elegant or totally over-the-top, there’s a perfect Christmas jumper out there for you. Here are my top picks across every style!

The Best Christmas Jumpers

Classic Fair Isle

The timeless one. Rich red, green, navy or cream with traditional Scandinavian-style reindeer, snowflakes and geometric patterns. Soft, cosy and instantly screams “proper Christmas” without any danger of embarrassment.

Cheeky Slogan Jumpers

Big bold lettering across the chest is the star here. Think “Santa’s Favourite Ho”, “Let’s Get Blitzened”, “Naughty List Veteran” or the brilliantly lazy “This IS My Christmas Jumper”. Usually paired with a winking Santa or tipsy reindeer.

Light-Up LED Wonders

They actually glow. Battery-powered LEDs create flashing Christmas trees with twinkling baubles, snowmen with illuminated noses, scrolling “Merry Christmas” messages or Rudolph with a glowing red nose. Bring spare batteries.

Matching Family Sets

The cuteness overload option. Identical reindeer, snowflake or “Ho Ho Ho” designs available from newborn onesies right up to adult sizes – many collections even include a matching dog jumper for the full Christmas-card effect.

Couples Jumpers

Made to be worn as a pair: “Mr & Mrs Claus”, “Naughty & Nice”, one saying “Merry” and the other “Christmas” when you stand together, or the classic “He’s My Gift / She’s My Gift” duo.

Cartoon Comedy Jumpers

Maximum joy in wool form. Dabbing Santas, unicorns riding reindeer, Baby Yoda in a Santa hat, elves doing the floss – usually finished with pom-poms, jingle bells or things that light up and squeak.

Whichever style you pick, grab it soon (the best ones disappear fast), size up for extra cosiness, and don’t forget to donate on the big day. See you on 12th December looking ridiculously festive!
