Enter our tacky holiday sweater contest 🏆

It’s that time of the year: Tacky sweater party season. We already got into the holiday spirits at our work retreat last week. (Also, this is a no judgement zone.)

But busting out the ugly sweaters, elf hats + ho ho ho gold chains had us feeling like we needed to have a tacky sweater competition of our own in Cola.

Here’s how to play:

  1. Find a tacky sweater. Dig through Grandma’s closet, search the racks of 6+ nearby Goodwill stores, or if you have time to wait on shipping, order from Tipsy Elves.
  2. Attend a tacky sweater party. (If you’ve already been to one this month, move on to step 3.) Convince your co-worker to have one, or host yourself – or head to Tacos, Tequila and Tacky Sweaters tonight, Ugly Sweater Party + Ugly Christmas Sweater Party and Competition on Friday, or CJ’s Ugly Christmas Sweater Party on Saturday.
  3. Take pictures. No, what happens at the tacky sweater party doesn’t stay at the tacky sweater party. Bonus points for gifs + Boomerangs.
  4. Share your photos with us. Post on Instagram and tag @COLAtoday or use the hashtag #COLAtoday, post to our Facebook wall, Tweet at us, or email us your photo. We’ll start the voting process next week.
  5. Win a cool prize. Including two COLAtoday t-shirts and some other fun swag.

The holidays can be stressful, but this is your opportunity to let loose + enjoy the most wonderful time of the year – with excessive amounts of blinking light necklaces and the most heinous patterns of reindeers, snowflakes + winter floras.

Tis the season to be tacky,

Sam
