While the UK observes it on December 11th, 2025, some countries have adapted the concept to fit their local calendars. For example, in the USA they observe what’s referred to as “Ugly Sweater Day” and it’s earmarked to take place on Friday December 19th in 2025.
Perhaps check with your local charitable organisations for specific dates in your area.

Go Green This Christmas Jumper Day
If you don't own a Christmas jumper, don't worry! You can get creative by decorating a plain sweater with festive accessories, borrow one from a friend, or visit local charity shops for sustainable options.
Each festive season, millions of Brits embrace the joy of Christmas Jumper Day, but there's an environmental cost that’s easy to overlook.
According to research from environmental charity Hubbub, approximately 12 million new jumpers are bought in the UK each year, with around a quarter of them worn just once before being discarded.
This throwaway approach contributes to textile waste and fast fashion, industries that have a heavy environmental footprint.
That’s why it’s so important to consider the eco-friendly angle of this fun tradition.
By encouraging guests, staff, or attendees to reuse, swap, or upcycle their festive attire, we can still enjoy the season’s cheer without compromising the planet.
A greener Christmas Jumper Day isn’t about losing the fun, it’s about adding meaning. Whether it’s organising a pre-event jumper swap or promoting second-hand finds, small changes can lead to a big impact.
