Krampus American Traditional Tarot Card Ugly Christmas Sweater – Folklore Meets Festivity
The sweater’s centerpiece depicts Krampus, the horned counterpart to Saint Nicholas, rooted in centuries-old Alpine folklore. Unlike Santa’s gifts, Krampus punishes the wicked, often carrying a switch or basket—his myth still resonates across European winter festivals.

Rendered in American Traditional tarot style, the design draws on mystic symbolism and bold illustration. The tarot-inspired imagery transforms the sweater into more than apparel—it feels like wearing a living piece of folklore and cultural storytelling.
Patterns of trees, reindeer, and hearts frame the dark figure, contrasting innocence with menace. This balance mirrors real traditions, where Krampus parades alongside Christmas markets, reminding wearers that the holiday season embraces both light and shadow.
