It should be a comfort to know that the world's most expensive Christmas sweater still checks off the "ugly" box.

Sparkle enthusiasts Swarovski and Tipsy Elves have combined glittering forces to create this $30,000 sweater, which took 52 hours to make and is encrusted with 24,274 Swarovski crystals.

And its one-of-a-kind "Santa riding a unicorn through space" design? Well, that's just fashion.

In the event that you can afford a $30,000 sweater, it is really, truly for sale on the Tipsy Elves website.

Even better, it comes with a "luxury frame," so you can display it proudly in your home long after the holiday season ends.

Just try not to get gravy on it at family dinner.
