Mopar just released its 2025 Holiday Gift Guide. Most of it is what you’d expect, such as tools and lifestyle accessories. However, there is one major surprise that’s both whimsical and functional: “Ugly Sweater” armor for the Jeep Wrangler.
The ugly Christmas sweater seemed to shoot up in popularity several years ago and led to people trying to out-gaudy each other with visually appalling Christmas-themed designs and embellishments. I don’t know if it’s still the coolest lame garment out there, but I do know that it’s made its way to Jeep’s iconic off-roader. Available only the JL Wrangler Unlimited and sold by MEK Magnet, the Ugly Sweater consists of magnetic red, green, and white panels that feature top and bottom borders of tire tracks and various Jeep vehicle silhouettes traveling across a landscape of mountains and tall trees in the middle. The $648 multi-piece “sweater” can protect against scratches and other damage, then be easily removed and washed (no de-pilling required!).
If that’s a bit too festive or pricey for you, there are several other options. Those include a $55 10-in-1 folding multi-tool, $49.95 unisex festive sweater holiday hoodie with the Mopar M on the left sleeve, and a $170 roadside safety kit.
Some of the more interesting items in the gift guide are a $218.50 Mopaw rear seat pet carrier (get it?) that’s compatible with the LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) system in the back seats of many vehicles, and a $185 powder-coated camping table that can be deployed from a tire. According to Stellantis, “It easily holds up to 50 pounds and features a retractable leg for extra support.”
