This holiday season, use the Coke Zero Sweater Generator to create the ugliest Christmas sweater you possibly can. Although these kinds of holiday sweaters are truly hideous, they have gained a notoriety for this and are proudly worn in jest. If the sweater that you create is deemed one of the top 100 ugliest sweaters, Coca-Cola will actually handcraft your design and send it to you.
The Sweater Generator allows users to choose a style of sweater, which ranges from turtlenecks to v-necks and then customize the colors, patterns and images that appear on the ugly holiday sweater.
After a creation is finished, it will be entered into the Sweater Battle, which pits the ugly sweaters against one another. The Sweater Generator is up for two more weeks and the votes for the ugliest Christmas sweater will be in on December 1st.
