The first-of-its-kind ORBIT Smooching Sweater is a new holiday staple that promises to inspire "kissable moments" during in-person ugly sweater parties and holiday gatherings this year. The peppermint-scented sweaters from ORBIT Gum are full of playful features, including a turnkey ORBIT Gum dial dispenser, mini multi-colored string lights, built-in mistletoe and a silver-to-blue flip sequin design.
This year, since people will be returning to celebrating in person, ORBIT created a smile-inspiring sweater that "gets people in the spirit, but also helps them feel bold and confident in an unexpected way." The fun and functional twist on traditional holiday sweaters is available online for a limited time and people can enter their name in a draw for a chance to win.
