You've bought the garlands, tested out the string lights, and scored new wrapping paper—why not pick up some festive accessories for yourself? Christmas socks are a fun (and inexpensive) way to get into the holiday season–and if going the ugly Christmas sweater route isn't your cup of tea, we recommend going the subtle, yet cheery route of Christmas socks. This holiday attire is a perfect way to just get a laugh or look festive for your upcoming holiday party. These fuzzy, warm, and knee high styles are also perfect to place in anyone's stocking. Not only are they fun, but they are also totally inexpensive (thank you, Amazon!), which is a win-win if you ask us.
Some options come in overtly holiday-oriented (and, dare way say, cheesy) packs. Think elf feet, reindeer, and sweet snowmen. Other slipper socks are simply seasonally appropriate, complete with snowflakes or cable knit stitching you can feel comfortable donning from that first frost well into the depths of winter. We've rounded up 10 of our favorites that you can order online, below.
These socks are our number one pick because they’re festive and cozy—two things that are necessary for the holiday season. Each pair fits shoe sizes five to 12, and they hit just above the ankle.
