Jack Russell Christmas Lights Sweatshirt: Embroidered Terrier Puppy in a Reindeer Headband

This Jack Russell Christmas lights sweatshirt shows a Jack Russell puppy sitting up in a red collar and a reindeer headband, holding the end of a tangled string of Christmas lights in its mouth. It is a ready-made design: choose the color and size, add a name or icon on the sleeve if you like, and we stitch it to order. Every stitch is 100% real embroidery, stitched into the fabric rather than printed.

What is on the Jack Russell Christmas lights sweatshirt?

The Jack Russell Christmas lights sweatshirt has 2 parts:

• The Jack Russell: centered on the chest, a white puppy with tan ears, a tan patch over one eye and a tan spot on its back, a red collar, a black headband topped with two little reindeer heads, and a green light string with yellow, red, green and blue bulbs looped around its front legs.
• The sleeve (optional): a name, initials or short word and an icon from the font and icon chart, in the font and thread color you choose, on the left or right sleeve.

Which color should you choose?

Pick a color in the options above and the photos switch to it, so you can see the design on that color before you order.

The white puppy stands out most on deep and mid-tone colors. On light colors the white coat looks softer while the tan ears and the lights keep the design clear, on colors close to the green light string, the string fades, and on the darkest colors the black headband blends into the fabric.

How do you order your sweatshirt?

To order your sweatshirt, follow 4 steps:

• Choose the sweatshirt color and size in the options above.
• Choose whether to add sleeve embroidery.
• If you add it, type the name or initials, then pick the icon, font, thread color and sleeve.
• Add it to your cart; we email a free design proof before we stitch.

How do you add a name or icon on the sleeve?

Sleeve embroidery is optional and goes on one sleeve. Type a short name or your initials, such as your Jack Russell’s name, and pick an icon, a font and a thread color from the charts in the photos, or leave the icon off. White thread is preselected because it reads best on the dark sweatshirts; pick Black or another dark thread for the light colors.

Is it a Jack Russell reindeer sweatshirt?

Yes, in a playful way. The puppy wears a reindeer headband, the kind with two little reindeer heads and antlers on top, rather than real antlers, so it looks like a Jack Russell dressed up for the Christmas party. The tangled lights in its mouth are the other half of the joke: anyone who has decorated a tree with a terrier in the room will recognize it.

Is it a Jack Russell Christmas jumper?

It is the same idea as a Jack Russell Christmas jumper, but the garment is a fleece crewneck sweatshirt, not a knit jumper or ugly sweater. It is made for people, not for your dog, and it is soft enough to wear from the first decorations to New Year.

Is it a good gift for a Jack Russell lover?

Yes. It suits a Jack Russell mom or dad, a terrier owner whose dog chews everything or anyone who loves a busy little dog, and it makes an easy Christmas or Secret Santa gift. Add their dog’s name or initials on the sleeve to make it personal.

Is there a hoodie or T-shirt version?

There is no hoodie, but there is a T-shirt: the same reindeer headband puppy comes on our Jack Russell Christmas lights shirt, a short-sleeve T-shirt. The color and size options above are for the crewneck sweatshirt.

What happens after you order?

We email you a free digital design proof, and you can ask for unlimited edits. Once you approve it, we embroider your sweatshirt to order and ship it from the USA; the estimated delivery date is shown on this page. To receive it by Christmas Day, order by December 8 in the U.S. or by November 23 outside the U.S.

Which size should you choose?

Each piece is made to order, so it is not eligible for size exchanges. Open the size guide on this page and compare the measurements with a top you already own before you order; we suggest sizing up if you are between sizes.

How should you wash an embroidered sweatshirt?

To keep the embroidery bright and flat, follow 4 steps:

• Turn the sweatshirt inside out before washing.
• Wash it cold on a gentle cycle.
• Tumble dry low or hang it to dry.
• Iron on the reverse side, never directly on the embroidery.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Jack Russell printed or embroidered?

It is embroidered. The puppy, its headband, the lights and the sleeve name are stitched in thread, so they have a raised texture you can feel and will not crack or peel like a print.

Is there a Jack Russell in a Santa hat?

Yes. The Jack Russell Christmas sweatshirt has a mini Jack Russell puppy in a Santa hat and a red knit scarf. To stitch your own dog’s face from a photo, choose the custom dog Christmas sweatshirt.

Are there other dog Christmas designs?

Yes. More designs are in our dog Christmas sweatshirts and embroidered Christmas sweatshirts.
