Now that Halloween has ended, we are moving closer to the acceptable time period when we can finally begin celebrating the Christmas season. And while it might be a little early to start pumping the Xmas tunes, the time is perfect to begin planning your seasonal wardrobe with "ugly" Christmas sweaters!

Of course, Christmas sweaters have come a long way in the last few years, making them the life of the party instead of the joke of the evening. Merchoid has some great geeky designs for the holidays (along with free shipping!) and we've selected a few of our favorites to bring to you today!

SPIDER-MAN AND THE AVENGERS

Fans of the webbed wall-crawler can now wear their fandom proud with this Spider-Man Christmas sweater that blends the season with the superhero perfectly. The main Spider symbol around the chest resembles either the Mile Morales or Superior Spider-Man logo, with other versions of the logo mixed with snowflakes and Spidey-eyes in the pattern.

The Avengers Sweater features the assembled logos and iconography of Marvel's powerful heroes, including Captain America's shield, Hulk's green fist, Spidey's logo, Iron Man's helmet, and Thor's enchanted hammer Mjolnir, all under the large centered "A" Avengers logo.

SUPERMAN AND BATMAN

DC fans can get in on the fun too with this amazing Superman knitted sweater that features his iconic "S" shield along with the typical holiday additions like snowflakes and Christmas trees. However, this sweater also features an 8-bit homage to the classic Superman video game for a bit of extra nerd cred.

The "Goodwill in Gotham" sweater features Batman's bat symbol and a darker motif than most Christmas outfits, though it still fits perfectly in the season with the snowflake trim. The Batman cowl and penguins wearing tophats further make this sweater a must-have for the holiday.

DARTH VADER AND RICK & MORTY

Feel the Force this season with this perfect Star Wars-themed Christmas Sweater that features everyone's favorite Sith Lord, Darth Vader. Not only does the sweater feature Darth wearing a Santa hat, but also adapts his iconic line for the season - "I Find Your Lack of Cheer Disturbing."

Finally, Rick & Morty fans can display their fandom perfectly with this "Let's Get Schwifty" sweater from the hit series. The yuletide holiday is well represented in a number of ways on this sweater, alongside images of Rick's crippling alcoholism. Wubba Lubba Dub Dub!
