The Best Drinking-Themed T-Shirts for Holiday Parties

Holiday parties are for ugly sweaters, mistletoe margaritas, and declaring your love for tequila under twinkling lights. But if you’re rolling up to the bar wearing the same itchy sweater from last year, we’ve got news: it’s time to level up. Holiday drinking shirts are officially the move this season—funny, festive, and perfect for any night that starts with cheers and ends with "How did we get here?"

Whether you're barhopping with friends, crashing a coworker’s ugly sweater bash, or hosting your annual White Elephant party, the right shirt sets the tone. We’re talking Christmas bar shirts that scream “I know how to pour a good time” and funny drinking apparel that earns laughs (and maybe a few free shots). So grab your eggnog and let's dive into the top picks to shake up your holiday wardrobe.

Why Ditch the Ugly Sweater? Because Drinking Tees Are King

Look, we love a good ironic reindeer moment, but there's something effortlessly cool about tossing on a soft, clever tee that doesn’t make you look like you raided your grandma’s closet. Plus, fidget-free comfort = more freedom to raise your glass, hit the dance floor, and dominate trivia night like the champagne-fueled legend you are.

  • Match With the Crew: There’s something iconic about your whole squad showing up in coordinated bar shirts. Peak group photo material.
