Christmas Jumper Day is, for many people around the country nowadays, a way schools and workplaces get into the festive spirit while raising money for charity. But with so many different Christmas jumper options available whatever you’re into there is a way of showing your passion while taking part.
What’s more, with Black Friday upon us many stores have included these cheery knits in their discounts and deals making it the perfect time to pick one up.
Pop-in-a-Box might not seem like one of the most obvious places to start your Christmas jumper search, since it is most notable for selling cult merchandise like Funko Pops, Loungefly handbags and more. But it's running one of the biggest and best sales of Christmas jumpers we've seen so far this Black Friday covering a huge range of geekdoms all in a 2-for-£34.99 promotion. From Die Hard to Mean Girls, Squid Game to Sesame Street there's an option for everyone.
Elsewhere, EMP has already begun reducing some of theirs in their Black Friday sale, including this Mandalorian one which is 22% off, down to £37.99.
Early birds can also get a bargain with Zavvi, where Christmas jumpers start at around £29.99 for adults in a range of licences including Star Wars, Harry Potter and more.
Some are already reduced by £10, while selected Christmas t-shirts can be reduced by 25% using the code BLACK25 at checkout. We especially love the Star Wars Christmas biscuits shirt. Wookiee cookie anyone?
Harry Potter Christmas jumpers
It may be more than twenty years now since the first Harry Potter book hit bookshops, but love for the boy wizard continues on.
This year there are plenty of Christmas jumpers paying homage to the boy wizard perfect for all ages.
M&S has a range of kids' options including a hoodie for each Hogwarts house for £29.50.
Meanwhile, Debenhams has a range of great jumpers that look identical to those worn in the films, but our favourite is the knitted Quidditch jumpers, all reduced for Black Friday.
They're a dupe on the real deal from official Harry Potter stores and look just as good for a fraction of the price and that's before they've been reduced by 20% to £30.
Star Wars Christmas jumpers
He may be a relatively new addition to the Star Wars universe, but Grogu - otherwise known as Baby Yoda - has been taken to everyone’s hearts since he burst on the scene as part of Disney+’s The Mandalorian.
Grogu is by far the most popular of all the Star Wars characters immortalised on Christmas jumpers this year - with prices starting from just £22 for this boy’s version at Very.
Meanwhile a cute grown ups’ version is available from £25.99 on Amazon.
Black Friday's hero though has to be IWOOT, which has reduced the price of their similar versions by a third, taking them down to just £20.
If woolly jumpers aren’t your thing then there are both sweatshirt options at Zavvi and Mandalorian Christmas t-shirts available from £18 on Amazon.
If you’re more aligned with the Dark Side though, rest assured there are options for you too, with the cheapest Darth Vader children’s jumper coming in for £11.99. Elsewhere, JustGeek has a £29.99 adult version.
Stranger Things Christmas jumpers
While The Upside Down may not scream festive cheer for most of us, lovers of the spooky Netflix show have plenty of options of Hellfire inspired woollies this Christmas.
The best deal at the moment is £13.99 from Wowcher. There’s five different designs available from Small to 5XL all with different Christmassy depictions of Eleven and the gang and the show’s logo.
But there are plenty other of great options out there. IWOOT has reduced their Seasons Greetings from Hawkins sweatshirt by £10 to £19.99.
It may be one of the pricier jumpers at £38.99, but if you want to channel your inner Eddie Munson then the Christmas version of the iconic Hellfire Club shirt at Merchoid might just be your must-wear this festive year.
Marvel Christmas jumpers
If Grogu is the festive character of choice for Star Wars, then for Marvel there is only one obvious option - he is a tree after all!
Christmas Groot is set to be a popular option for Marvel themed Christmas jumpers this year, with Guardians of the Galaxy's Christmas special launched on Disney+ today helping get everyone in the festive spirit.
Etsy has one of the cutest Groot jumpers we’ve seen, and it’s available in a host of different colours from just £17.99.
Elsewhere, Merchoid has plenty of different superhero options whoever your favourite is - including Captain America, Spider-Man, Ms Marvel and many more.
Everything else besides
With Christmas jumpers being a good chance to reflect passions, there are some very niche options available for 2022.
Love a sausage roll? Don't we all! Show your Greggs love with this showcasing the iconic pastry.
NotJust has a great range of different Christmas Jumpers. Stay cosy while celebrating your love of Strictly, Louis Theroux or even Fleabag from just £29.99. What's more, if you buy any full price Christmas jumper this Black Friday you can pick up anything in their sale for half the advertised price - perfect for stocking fillers and early Christmas shopping.
Meanwhile, the quirkiest and most retro Christmas jumper we’ve found so far might be this Teletext version. Do you remember Bamber Boozle the pixellated quiz master? Well you can wear him on a Teletext Christmas jumper this festive season from Merchoid.
