For instance, this year is the perfect time to let your old ugly Christmas sweaters rest, and buy some fabulous, pop culture-inspired sweaters instead. I mean, nothing says, "Happy Holidays" quite like *NSYNC, Lizzo, David Rose from Schitt's Creek, Dolly Parton, and other pop culture icons proudly displayed on your Christmas sweaters. From political heroes, to talented musicians, and even hilarious fictional icons (looking at you Michael Scott from The Office), there is a sweater for everyone, all with snowflakes, reindeer, trees, and other festive accents.
