For those in the mood for a more involved project, Kelly Mindell of Studio DIY has instructions on how to crochet a string of brightly-colored lights you can affix to any cozy sweater (or one you knit yourself, if you’re feeling really ambitious).

This island-inspired design by Sam Ushiro is a bit more advanced (those palm trees are actually crocheted on), but you can always glue on some felt shapes if you’re more of a beginner crafter.

Add a little bit of all your holiday favorites—candy canes, ornaments, ribbons, gingerbread cookies—to a red or green sweatshirt with contrasting tinsel trim with the help of this easy DIY from Megan Graney.

Turns out it’s not nearly as complicated as we thought to turn just about any knit into a light-up sweater. So whether you’re hoping to design your own ugly Christmas knit from scratch or just want to add an extra pop to one you already own, The Samantha Show's fun and easy DIY can get you there.

This pom-pom adorned design requires no sewing whatsoever, making it an excellent option for those who want a more low-key project. All you need is felt, scissors, pom-poms, fabric glue and a sweater or top you’re willing to transform into a festive winter wonderland.

May the force eggnog be with you.

Take a fashion note from the grouchiest holiday icon around and wear this bad boy to your next Whobilation.

You haven’t celebrated the holiday season to the fullest unless your Christmas tree sweater lights up and twinkles just like the real one in your living room.

Is it a sweater? Is it a dress? Either way, this knit with a googly-eyed Santa and penguin is sure to be the cutest one at the party.

What could be more jolly than mini Santas playing in the snow?

Stay on theme for your friend's annual gingerbread house decorating party.

This red cardigan peppered with fluffy white sheep reminds us slightly of a festive version Lady Diana’s iconic pullover.

We’ll just go ahead and say it: This festive pullover is so fetch.

If you’re searching for a more, shall we say, understated option, this textured knit embellished with colorful pom poms is definitely the way to go.

Sweet, simple, straight to the point and in our opinion, actually pretty stylish.

Who needs a bag when you can carry a full bottle of wine in your sweater?

Pay homage to the man of the hour with this baby pink pullover accented with fuzzy white Santa beards.

OK, so this one is actually pretty cute and gives us major snuggled-up-next-to-the-fire kind of vibes.

Sure, you could pair this patterned crewneck with some plain jeans, but why not up the ugly factor by pulling on some festive houndstooth or sequin pants, instead?

A llama + sequins + pom-poms = a spectacular holiday sweater. Interestingly, this combo also equals a spectacular holiday party (just for future reference).

Because nothing says “Christmas” quite like snowflakes, traditional Shetland Fair Isle detailing and a string of ferocious Tyrannosaurus rexes.

For those who prefer to spend their holidays in a tropical locale, perhaps a flamingo-, parrot- and frond-covered knit is the way to go.

Be sure to fill out the gift tag with a clever combination like “To: E. Scrooge, From: J. Frost.”

For those who want something a little fancier than your typical oversize knit try this glittering argyle-inspired cardi.
