Bulldog Christmas Lights Sweatshirt: Embroidered English Bulldog Puppy Chewing the Lights

Caught red-pawed, the English bulldog puppy on this bulldog Christmas lights sweatshirt sits very still with a string of Christmas lights in its mouth and a worried, wrinkled brow. It is a ready-made design: choose the color and size, add an optional name or icon on the sleeve, and we stitch it to order. The puppy, its collar and every bulb are real embroidery, not a print.

What is on the bulldog Christmas lights sweatshirt?

The puppy sits in the center of the chest, small enough to look like a little holiday badge. Here is what is stitched:

• The bulldog: a cream face and chest, fawn ears and back, a squashed black nose and deep wrinkles across the forehead and muzzle.
• The collar: a bright red band around its thick neck.
• The lights: a green cord hanging from its mouth with red, yellow and blue bulbs, curling into a loop at its front paws.

Why does the bulldog look so guilty?

Every bulldog owner has met this face. Bulldogs have naturally wrinkled brows that can make them look worried even when they are perfectly content, and the expression is twice as convincing when there is a string of tree lights hanging out of the mouth. This puppy is not running away or chewing; it is sitting still and hoping nobody noticed. That quiet guilt is what makes it a funny bulldog Christmas sweatshirt without a single word on it: the joke lands with anyone who has decorated a tree with a puppy in the house. It is an English bulldog Christmas lights sweatshirt first, but the expression works for any wrinkly-faced dog.

Which color should you choose?

The photos follow the color option, so you can preview each shade before you order. The cream and fawn bulldog stands out most on dark colors, where the pale coat glows. Light colors make the cream face look softer, greens close to the light cord let the cord fade while the bulbs still show, and reds near the collar color make the collar look quieter.

Who is this bulldog puppy Christmas sweatshirt for?

A bulldog puppy Christmas sweatshirt is an easy gift for a bulldog mom or dad, a family that just brought home a wrinkly puppy, or anyone who has rescued a light string from a pair of jaws. It is a fleece crewneck made for people, not a knit sweater and not a coat for your dog. There is no hoodie, but the same puppy comes on our English bulldog Christmas lights shirt, a short-sleeve T-shirt; the options above are for the crewneck sweatshirt.

Can you add a name to the sleeve?

Yes. Add your bulldog’s name or your initials on one sleeve, with an optional icon, and choose the font and thread color from the charts in the photos. White thread is preselected for the dark sweatshirts; pick black or another dark thread for light colors.

Ordering, sizing and care

We make each sweatshirt to order and ship it from the USA, and you will find the estimated delivery date on this page. A free design proof comes by email before stitching, with unlimited edits. To receive it by Christmas Day, order by December 8 in the U.S. or by November 23 outside the U.S. Because every piece is made for you, it is not eligible for a size exchange; check the size guide on this page first. Wash it inside out in cold water and keep the iron off the embroidery.
