These Cats and Dogs in Christmas Sweaters Are Winning at Life

People wearing ugly Christmas sweaters is a thing, but dog Christmas sweaters are even better. Here are some ideas for Christmas canine fashion.

There are normal pet parents, and there are fun pet parents. If you fall into the latter category, welcome to the party. We have a lot of fun over here, dressing up our pups for Halloween, throwing them birthday parties and, yes, getting them cozy dog Christmas sweaters to impress Santa.

Recreate these cuddly canine Christmas styles for a Christmas card people will leave on the fridge for years.
