If it is good enough for Santa, it is good enough for the rest of us. The novelty Christmas hat is the Christmas jumper’s smaller, cheaper, more portable cousin, and it does a surprising amount of the same work for a fraction of the outlay.
The hat has three real advantages over the jumper. It costs about a fifth as much, so you can own several and rotate them through December without anyone noticing. It fits everybody, which makes it the only festive garment you can buy for an office of twenty without asking twenty people for their chest measurement. And it comes off in two seconds, which matters more than you would think somewhere between the pub and the last train.
Beyond the classic red Santa hat there is a proper spread here: flashing light-up versions, reindeer antlers, full turkey headgear, elf hats with ears attached, and the knitted pudding sort that genuinely keeps your head warm. Have a browse and pick one. Then pick a second one, because somebody at the party will have forgotten theirs and you will look like a hero.
