The Top 10 Best Christmas Jumpers 2022

The winter season has returned yet again, and we’ve no doubt that you’re looking for some new festive clothing for your wardrobe. To make things easier, we’ve compiled a list of the best Christmas jumpers of 2022 for fans of pop culture.

That’s right — if you enjoy movies, TV shows, or video games, these fashion items are right up your alley. With some assistance from recognisable characters (such as Pikachu, Black Panther, and Darth Vader), they make a bold statement that can’t be replicated by their more traditional counterparts, which rarely deviate from the tried-and-tested designs of Christmas past.

  1. Pokémon ‘Pikachu’ Christmas Jumper
  2. Stranger Things ‘On The Naughty List’ Christmas Jumper
  3. Die Hard ‘Nakatomi Christmas Party’ Christmas Jumper
  4. The Lord Of The Rings ‘One Ring’ Christmas Jumper
  5. Marvel’s ‘Black Panther’ Christmas Jumper
  6. DC Comics ‘Black Adam’ Christmas Jumper
  7. Harry Potter ‘Gryffindor Crest’ Christmas Jumper
  8. Star Wars ‘Darth Vader Candy Cane’ Christmas Jumper
  9. Rick And Morty ‘Let’s Get Schwifty’ Christmas Jumper
  10. The Grinch ‘I’m Here For The Presents’ Christmas Jumper

1. Pokémon ‘Pikachu’ Christmas Jumper

Although many people assume that all festive clothing must be ugly and garish, we believe that some of the best Christmas jumpers are those that take a more measured approach.

Take this Pikachu design, for example: the lightning-tailed companion of Ash Ketchum (a ‘Pocket Monster’ from Pokémon) covers only a small portion of the chest, surrounded by four snowflakes.

It’s a simple aesthetic that would look appropriate as part of anyone’s existing outfit, no matter the time of year.

2. Stranger Things ‘On The Naughty List’ Christmas Jumper

Released on Netflix in May 2022, the fourth season of Stranger Things reminded us why the show is so beloved.

The horror was dialled up to 11 (pun intended), with a new villain by the name of Vecna unleashing his vengeance upon the town of Hawkins.

Unfortunately, Max Mayfield made it onto his naughty list, and that — as evidenced by this creepy Christmas jumper — is somewhere you don’t want to be.

3. Die Hard ‘Nakatomi Christmas Party’ Christmas Jumper

Die Hard: the film that every December has people asking, ‘is it really a Christmas movie?’ The answer to that question is, of course, a resounding ‘yes’, but you’re unlikely to meet a naysayer who’s willing to budge on their opinion.

Nevertheless, if you find yourself in the ‘yes’ camp, the Nakatomi Corporation welcomes you to celebrate its annual Christmas party in its high-rise office building, where you can enjoy food, drinks, and — oh, yes — gun-toting baddies.

John McClane has some competition this year.

4. The Lord Of The Rings ‘One Ring’ Christmas Jumper

It’s been an eventful 2022 for J.R.R. Tolkien fans, with the Amazon TV series The Rings Of Power being released at the back end of the year.

To mark your return to the lands of Middle-earth, we invite you to try on this item of clothing, one of the best Christmas jumpers for fans of The Lord Of The Rings. We must warn you, however, that once you wear it, you may find yourself unable to resist Sauron’s power.

The One Ring does have that effect on people.

5. Marvel’s Black Panther Christmas Jumper

The sequel to the first Black Panther movie has been awaited by fans for some time, and despite the tragic circumstances that led to an extended delay, it’s safe to say that enthusiasm for Wakanda’s superhero has not diminished.

T’Challa’s successor is on the horizon, but he — and his Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) actor, Chadwick Boseman — will forever be a hero to the fans.

6. DC Comics ‘Black Adam’ Christmas Jumper

The character of Black Adam is not someone whom most moviegoers — even some of those familiar with DC Comics — will recognise.

However, you’d be hard pressed to find a person who hasn’t heard of Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, and his latest blockbuster is a standout among superhero (and supervillain) cinema in 2022.

Flowing with lightning, Teth-Adam (the character’s true name) cuts a powerful figure as he hovers above the people of Kahndaq. Although it would be wrong to presume that this Middle Eastern city enjoys much snowfall, it’s fun to imagine what it would be like if those tiny pieces of frozen water were to touch his supercharged body.

7. Harry Potter ‘Gryffindor Crest’ Christmas Jumper

Are you one of those Harry Potter fans who returns to the Wizarding World every winter? We suspect that you’ve taken the Sorting Hat test and discovered your Hogwarts house. If our assumption is correct, you simply must show off your colours.

Not only do we offer clothing for members of Gryffindor, but we also cater to the remaining three houses: Slytherin, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff.

Now all you need is a ticket to the Yule Ball.

8. Star Wars ‘Darth Vader Candy Cane’ Christmas Jumper

2022 saw the release of the Disney+ TV series Obi-Wan Kenobi, which focused not only on its title character but also on his greatest rival, Darth Vader.

The return of Hayden Christensen (the actor who played Anakin Skywalker in the Star Wars prequel trilogy) was greatly anticipated by fans, and now that the show has finished, we can confidently say that the build-up paid off.

If you count yourself among the legion of fans whose hearts were racing throughout Kenobi and Vader’s final confrontation, during which the Sith Lord’s mask was damaged and his face exposed, this light-hearted Christmas jumper is a great way to keep the hype alive.

Who needs lightsabers when candy canes will suffice?

9. Rick And Morty ‘Let’s Get Schwifty’ Christmas Jumper

He’s old and (occasionally) jolly, but don’t confuse this guy for Santa Claus — this is Rick Sanchez, the mad scientist and protagonist of Rick And Morty.

Fans of the animated series were treated to a sixth season in September 2022, and we’re happy to report that its comedy antics are still up to par with those of previous episodes.

That said, we can think of no better reason to ‘get schwifty’ this holiday season. Wearing a full-blown Saint Nick costume, Rick is dressed the part, and with this Christmas jumper, you can be too.

10. The Grinch ‘I’m Here For The Presents’ Christmas Jumper

An oldie but a goodie, the Grinch is one of the familiar faces of the festive period. Though he began as a Scrooge-like individual, he eventually came to understand the significance of the celebrations, returning the presents that he stole from the people of Whoville.

The message conveyed by Dr. Seuss’ story — that selflessness is a greater quality than bitterness — is quite clear, but don’t let that stop you from having a bit of fun.

This is one of the best Christmas jumpers for people who like irony, as those who declare such intentions are usually those who gift the best presents.
