How to Win an Ugly Christmas Sweater Contest for Couples

As a couple, It's a fun to go to an Ugly Christmas sweater party in matching sweaters, which puts you in the running the '1st Place Couple' in the ugly Christmas sweater contest. It's a common misconception that the sweaters have to match exactly. Check out this couple in the photo - their sweaters are variations on the same theme, but what brings it home for them is their accessories. They are wearing santa hats that have a beard sewn onto the hat. Perfect!

How do you find matching sweaters? Use the search option on the My Ugly Christmas Sweater site. Type in 'poinsettia' or 'dog' or 'reindeer' for example.  You'll see all the sweaters that have the feature you're looking for, and you can find a great set to wear to your party. Good luck - and don't forget the accessories!
