No December is complete without a Christmas jumper: they’ve become a staple of office Christmas parties and family gatherings alike. We’re not entirely sure when they became such a thing, but the first Bridget Jones film probably has something to do with it. And to be honest, we wouldn’t have it any other way.
That said, some Christmas jumpers are, well, a bit on the cringe side. So, to spare your pup’s blushes, we’ve rounded up some doggie options that are fun, festive and genuinely stylish. In these natty knits, your dog will be the envy of everyone they encounter on their Christmas Day walk (and nice and comfy and cosy, as a classic Christmas song tells us we should be).
Btw, our editors (and their pets) picked out these products. They’re always in stock at the time we publish, but there’s a chance they’ll sell out. If you do buy through our links, we may earn a commission. (We’ve got a lot of toys to buy over here, you know?)
If you find some Christmas jumpers a bit too Christmassy, look no further than this relatively understated option. It will give your pup a pop of colour and a festive spring in their step without making them look like an oversized tree decoration.
Made from luxurious lamb’s wool, this dark blue snowflake jumper is another relatively understated option. Your pup will look particularly dapper in its smart roll-neck design.
Pets at Home has an extensive range of canine Christmas jumpers, but this gingerbread design is definitely the most charming. It’s also machine washable, so practical as well as pretty to look at.
This sweater’s geometric pattern has a chic Nordic vibe. It’s made from soft yarn with a high collar for added cosiness, so your pup will be the talk of the park.
This winter warmer is more of a quilted jacket than a traditional woolly jumper, but it’s one of the chicest designs on the market. Perfect for your pup’s Christmas Day walk.
Get your four-legged friend ready for festive fun with the Maxbone Santa Baby knitted dog jumper. Whether it’s for walks or cuddles, your pup will be the star of the season in this snug, merry outfit.
It seems slightly unfair to have the squirrels on the jumper and not in paw’s reach, but this number is adorable nonetheless. Nothing says Christmas quite like a fairisle knit.
