It’s that time of year when many of us will enthusiastically – or be forced! – into wearing Christmas jumpers and Marks & Spencer’s is the first shop out of the blocks with an impressive knitwear range for children.

Indeed, it is probably worthwhile remembering that national Christmas Jumper Day 2025 is on 11 December, though many workplaces ‘encourage’ the festive spirit by having a day, usually the last working day before breaking up, where staff wear Christmas jumpers to work.
