What’s the story behind the ugly Christmas sweater?


If you have not been living under the rock, you must have come across several memes inspired by the 'Ugly Christmas Sweater' prank that popular actors Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal pulled on Ryan Reynolds.


For those uninitiated, the story goes something like this. Jackman, Reynolds' co-star in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, asked Reynolds to an ugly sweater party in 2018. But what he failed to mention was that the dress code only applied to Ryan.


His reaction on reaching the party in an ugly sweater and pranksters Jake and Hugh bursting into laughter had been captured in a frame, which has been making rounds on the internet ever since. But have you ever wondered, where did the tradition of wearing ugly sweaters on Christmas originate?
