Why own a nutcracker when you can wear one–or many? This fun and festive piece allows you to sport Clara’s beloved Christmas gift, although don’t expect these little men to come to life any time soon.

Rock Star of David Ugly Hanukkah Sweater Suit from Shinesty, $99.99
Of course, not everyone celebrates Christmas. Say shalom to this three-piece suit that can be worn not just once, but eight days of the year. Amidst endless amounts of latke oil, jelly donuts, and melting Hanukkah gelt, hopefully the stars of David will remain the only things dotting your celebratory coat.

Give the football fanatic in your family something to cheer about, because let’s face it, Brady’s reputation took some hits this year. With its red, white, and blue mascot pattern, this tie would make Bill Belichick proud–not to mention when paired with a matching Pats-inspired jacket.
