Ugly Holiday Sweaters

Store manager Rachel Redondo adjusts a holiday sweater at Buffalo Exchange, which no longer mixes the holiday versions with other attire.

You guys.

There's gonna be an ugly-sweater bar crawl.

Two of your favorite holiday things — ugly sweaters and dranks —combined. Yas!

Festivities include drink and food specials at participating bars, an exclusive after-party and holiday-themed activities, including an ugly sweater contest. 

There will be cash prizes and goodies. 

That's not all. Part of the proceeds will be donated to a local animal shelter.

So, yeah. Drinks, ugly sweaters AND you will be helping animals. It's a win-win-win.

Participating establishments, so far, are Sky Bar, Mr. Heads, Surly Wench Pub, Brooklyn Pizza and The Hut

You can find one that's already ugly, or use your imagination and do it yourself. There are tons of ideas on Pinterest. You can go totally crazy and make a matching ornament headband and bow slippers. Check them out here

Cotton balls, santa caps, some glue and a gift tag can turn your five dollar second-hand sweater into a personalized and cherished holiday “ugly sweater.” Photographed in the Star studio on Tuesday, December 1, 2015 in Tucson, AZ. Photo by Ron Medvescek / Arizona Daily Star.
