25 of the Best Bookish Holiday Sweatshirts to Cozy Up With
The weather is getting cooler, which means it’s time to cozy up with something warm—and why not make it bookish while you’re at it? These bookish holiday sweatshirts are the perfect apparel to don while drinking a hot chocolate and tackling your TBR. For those of you still missing Halloween, don’t worry, we have some choices that bring some spooky season flair to the winter holidays, too.
A note on the flavor of holiday sweatshirts you’ll find here: it leans heavy into Christmas, and that was not by design. I was able to find a couple of Thanksgiving sweatshirts but could not in 2+ hours of searching find any bookish sweatshirts for other holidays. There are plenty of awesome Hanukkah and Kwanzaa sweatshirts out there, don’t get me wrong! But none (that I could find) were of of a bookish variety.
Finally, some notes on pricing: almost every item on this list is heavily discounted at the time of this writing, anywhere from 30-75%. To get the sale price, click on each listing—I included the original price just in case any of these sale prices expire. Many of these designs are offered in crewneck, hoodie, and tee shirt varieties; I listed the starting price for each as the lowest price for a crewneck sweater so as not to mislead you with tee shirt pricing. For colorways, click on each listing. I will break down the size offerings so you know from jump what might work for you.
Go forth and get cozy!
