Love ’em or hate ’em, there’s no getting away from Christmas jumpers this year – or any year.

So we’ve rounded up the best Christmas jumpers for children from the high street and the supermarkets – with prices starting at just £8.

And, if you’re not sure you want to splash out on a new item, scroll down for details of how to make your own!

For more Christmas day treats we’ve also chosen our pick of the best Christmas pyjamas, outfits and crackers for the family.

Here’s our pick of the best Christmas jumpers for kids…
