Who needs an ugly sweater when you can have ugly socks?

You're probably already well-versed in the delights of matching Christmas jammies and ugly sweaters, but there's another category of holiday attire you should know about: fuzzy Christmas socks.

This festive accessory is rising in popularity for good reason—it makes the perfect (cheap) pampering present for anyone on your list (including yourself!). Sure, socks have always been a go-to, but if you're going to give something so utilitarian to, say, your Secret Santa, they might as well be extra whimsical and comfortable, right?

For a present ripe for sipping hot cocoa by the fire, curling up with a book in hand by the tree, or watching holiday favorites on Netflix, take a look at this list of the best fuzzy Christmas socks. There's no doubt you'll want to show them off at this season's family holiday party or—at the very least—on your group text thread.

Some options come in overtly cheesy packs (think: elf feet and sweet snowmen), while other slipper socks are simply seasonally appropriate. Regardless of the style you choose, they'll all keep you toasty. And isn't that what's most important when there's a winter wonderland outside your window?
