If you're more pastry than human and you think of Greggs less as a shop and more of a second home, this is the jumper for you.

Adorned with some of the bakery's most iconic pastries, it's the perfect thing to wear whilst eating a Christmas dinner. Sausage roll not included, unfortunately.

Big fan of both TV and giving to a good cause? This Fleabag Christmas jumper, being sold in aid of Save the Children, is just what you need. With Phoebe Waller-Bridge's face on one side and a fox on the other, you certainly won't be saying Flea Bah Humbug if you're wearing this.

Gremlins is one of the best Christmas movies of all time, so we are big fans of this festive jumper which puts Flasher Gremlin front and centre, with a festive Gremlins print in the background. Fantastic stuff.

This is a great jumper for anyone who is a fan of Jurassic Park. Pictures of dinos and the infamous jeep are repeated throughout as a lovely Fair Isle-style embroider.

This graphic PlayStation design celebrates one of the world's greatest consoles – but even without that knowledge, we think it looks pretty cool. Patch embroidery on a 100% knitted jumper makes this incredibly high quality.

Super into parliamentary politics? Know someone who is? Then you're in for a treat with this official House of Commons Christmas jumper - perfect for those who want to party over Christmas (not if we go into lockdown as that would obviously be illegal).

A repeat portcullis design is combined with traditional Fair Isle patterns to make this the nerdiest item of clothing you'll ever own. Not going to get you any street cred though, let's be honest.

With the Sonic film igniting the love for the blue hedgehog once more, retro gaming fans have been freshly reminded of their love of the game. The gold rings are pretty festive, too.
