Clothes based on specific games are very common. For example, there is a bunch of Pokemon clothing out there. Yet, it’s typically shirts, hoodies, and, perhaps, some pants. Christmas jumpers based on games are rarer, but they do exist.
These pieces of Christmas apparel allow you to show your festive spirit and love of gaming at the same time. Most of them are based on specific games or series. However, there are some more generic gaming ones, too. Naturally, several of them look amazing, while others are eyesores. The following ones are the best currently available and are sure to make your holidays even better.

Ripple Junction Xbox Ugly Christmas Sweater
Getting Into The Festive Spirit With Xbox
Show your support for Microsoft’s slew of consoles with this Xbox jumper. Naturally, it’s bright green to fit with the signature Xbox coloring. It also has the Xbox logo on the stomach and the face buttons on the sleeves.
- Perfect choice of colors
- The face buttons on the sleeves are a nice touch
Perhaps you can’t pick a specific game you want to rep for the festive season. If so, and you’re an Xbox player, then go for this jumper. By wearing this, you’re technically paying tribute to every game on the various Xbox consoles. And the term ‘various Xbox consoles’ is true as this isn’t an Xbox Series X|S jumper. It’s just Xbox, in general.
What’s really great about the jumper is that the green coloring works for both Xbox and the holiday season. So, while wearing this, you look just as festive as anyone else. Probably more so in some cases.
Numskull Official Spyro the Dragon Ugly Christmas Sweater
Spyro The Sweater
The colors alone likely give away which gaming series this jumper is about. After all, the purple and yellow combo is synonymous with Spyro The Dragon. And when you look closer, you can see all sorts of Spyro and Christmas-based things in the design, including the Dragon himself.
- The right color
- Definitely looks festive
- The design is a little busy
Spyro isn’t the most famous video game mascot of all time, but he’s still a much-appreciated character in the gaming realm. Thus, he deserves respect. And there is no better way to respect a legendary series than by wearing a Christmas jumper based on it.
This one includes the classic purple and yellow color combination with several small Spyro-based images of the torso and arms. The design is a little busy, but that is pretty much what you expect from a typical Christmas sweater. Speaking of Christmas, there are also little images based on the holiday in the design. They work surprisingly well next to the Spyro ones.
Numskull Official Nintendo Super Mario Ugly Christmas Sweater
Happy Holidays From The Mario Family And Their Worst Enemy
Celebrate Christmas with your favorite Mario characters as the titular hero features on this blue jumper alongside his brother Luigi and long-term nemesis Bowser. Their faces are surrounded by wreaths and snow. Plus, it says “Happy Holidays” in the corner.
- Clear images of the characters
- Unique design
- The “Happy Holidays” message blends in with the design too much, making it tricky to read
Mario has Lego sets, clothing, bed sheets, and all sorts of other merch. So, of course, there is a Christmas jumper based on the franchise. It would be more surprising if one didn’t exist.
What’s surprising is that Bowser made it on the front. Sure, he’s a major character in the series, but it seems like Princess Peach or Yoshi would be the more natural choices alongside Mario and Luigi for a holiday sweater. But it isn’t a deal-breaker as all three characters look great, as does the blue snowy background.
Pokemon Pikachu Christmas Jumper
The Cutest Video Game Christmas Jumper You Will Find
Pikachu is one of the most famous video game characters out there. And you can show your appreciation for the adorable creature with this jumper. He is front and center on the green sweater, wearing a little hat and scarf combination. Above and below him are poke balls sitting beside snowflakes.
- Pikachu looks adorable with his hat and scarf
- The inclusion of the Poke balls among the snowflakes is nice
Pikachu might not be the most impressive electric-type Pokemon in battle, but they’re easily the most famous. This is due to Pikachu featuring heavily in the spin-off anime. That version of the creature has become the face of the series, so it’s no surprise to see him front-and-center on this Pokemon Christmas jumper.
As always, he looks adorable. In fact, he’s even cuter than usual due to the little hat and scarf combo he’s wearing. This also makes the sweater look more Christmas-like, as do the snowflakes all over the jumper.
Numskull Official Fallout Vault Ugly Christmas Sweater
Winter In The Wasteland
Fallout isn’t a very festive series, but you wouldn’t have thought so based on looking at this jumper. It’s jam-packed with the holiday spirit. The piece of clothing features various versions of the vault boy. The one outside the vault looks to be in a winter wonderland, as he’s surrounded by falling snow and snowmen.
- The colors are beautiful
- Including multiple Vault Boys was the right idea
- The vault section could be more festive
Christmas still exists in the Fallout series even though the world has been ruined, but it likely isn’t what it used to be. People in the wastelands certainly don’t get to roam around wearing festive jumpers as beautiful as this one.
What immediately stands out about this jumper are the pretty colors on the chest and sleeves. The cyan, in particular, is visually stunning. And the inclusion of snowfall, snowmen, and snowflakes provides that Christmas feeling. It’s a shame only one of the Vault Boys on the sweater is in the festive spirit.
Numskull Official PlayStation Symbols Ugly Christmas Sweater
Face Buttons Falling From The Sky
PlayStation symbols are falling from the sky alongside snow on the front of this Christmas jumper. As you can probably guess, this is a PlayStation sweater. This is shown not only by the falling buttons but also because of the PS logo on both arms.
- Sleek design
- Buttons/Symbols look good
Some people call Christmas jumpers ugly. In fact, ‘Ugly Christmas Sweater’ is a common name for them. Yet, the people designing this PlayStation one went against traditional convention as this piece of clothing actually looks surprisingly sleek.
This is down to the fairly minimalistic design – at least for a Christmas jumper – and great black-and-grey color palette. The attempt at creating a more stylish Christmas sweater, thankfully, hasn’t meant ditching the festive aspect. The snow and snowflakes still create a Christmas image.
