Who does not know the film scene in which Bridget Jones meets Mark Darcy for the first time and he is wearing a reindeer sweater that his mother gave him. But the ugly Christmas sweater also appeared again and again in many other kitschy Christmas films, so that the ugly Christmas sweaters have now achieved cult status in the USA. Although the idea was actually born in England when a presenter wore an ugly Christmas sweater for fun and frolic on a show in the 80s.
