Whether you’re in the office or remote working, get in the festive spirit with a cosy Christmas jumper.
Why are Christmas Jumpers a thing?
It’s a huge part of most people’s festive season, but not many know about the origins of this annual tradition. It’s said that the first Christmas jumpers originated in Iceland and Scandinavia. Two areas of the world where fishing is a huge industry, it’s no secret that both Iceland and Scandinavia are some of the coldest places to live on earth!
During the 19th century, these heavy-knitted jumpers were made to keep fishermen warm during the cold and dark winter months. They also featured geometric designs to help distinguish fishermen from different communities, which is why we so often see Christmas jumpers with crazy designs!
When can you Start Wearing Christmas Jumpers?
An age-old question we all ask ourselves each year, the best time to start sporting your awesome Christmas jumper is up to you, but most people tend to dig out their festive outfits around the beginning of December.
After all, it can be awkward turning up to your Christmas works party and being the only person wearing one! This is why we suggest arranging a set date for your Christmas Jumper Day, which you can read more about below.
When is Christmas Jumper Day 2024?
This year, Christmas Jumper Day falls on the 12th of December. In the UK, children, parents and teachers are encouraged to turn up to school/work wearing their epic Christmas jumpers and a £1 or £2 donation that often go towards charities like Save the Children.
In fact, the charity has partnered with JustGiving to help people organise their Christmas Jumper Day. You can find out more information about this here.
This is great idea for small groups
Where Can I Wear My Christmas Jumper?
You can wear it anywhere and everywhere – and that includes on an office Zoom call… maybe even during one of our virtual Christmas party events! It’s easy-peasy to schedule a day when all the team piles onto a call with their Christmas attire on and plays some office Christmas party games, even if that means jumper on top and Xmas pyjamas on the bottom.
You can dig out your trusty knitwear and wear it around the house or buy a shiny new number for your festive meal. If you’re in the office, why not make an effort with your jumper for a great photo op during your Christmas party for small groups?

1. Ugly Christmas Jumpers
Especially good for an ugly jumper competition, this option is great for a laugh whether you have a small or large team. Push your pride aside and make things interesting on your work's Christmas Jumper Day - One way you could do this is by asking everyone to bring in a small contribution for a prize pot (£1/£2/£5 will do it, depending on how many people are taking part).
Then, elect an individual or a panel to judge each jumper based on their pure wackiness! You could then announce the winner at the end of the day who'll then get to take home the prize pot as a little Christmas bonus! Check out the Ugly Christmas Jumper game here, its number 10 in our games list.
