A reindeer with a light-up nose? Cliché. Christmas trees outlined in puffy paint? Overdone—by your mom, who's rocked that look every December since 1988. Coming up with the most delightfully kitschy top to wear to an ugly sweater party just keeps getting more difficult, as the trend shows no signs of stopping.
This season, booze brands are getting in on the game, with companies from SKYY Vodka to Jack Daniel's wrapping their bottles in knit koozies. Nobody's going as hard on the tacky trend quite like Miller Lite, though—in addition to selling Christmas Sweater koozies for $5 apiece online, the brand commissioned artist London Kaye to design a knit billboard to hang in Times Square, which uses 43 miles of yarn.
The brand isn't content to simply clothe signs and brews, however. It's also designed its very own holiday sweater, complete with snowflakes, a hops border and a dinner-plate-sized Miller Lite crest in the very center, positioned like a Care Bear's belly badge.
All of the patterns—except for the "A Fine Pilsner Beer" seal—repeat on the back of the sweater too, and if you look closely, you'll see the gold design along each sleeve isn't an homage to tribal armband tattoos (though we could certainly see the similarities, especially given its mid-bicep location), but a mod stripe of Miller Lite bottles.
Miller Lite sells the sweater on its website for $60, and while they've been in such high demand that the company completely sold out its stock on Wednesday, a representative said they'll be restocked in all sizes shortly. Hopefully just in time for your office party.
