Its the most wonderful time of year which means many of us will be digging out our old Christmas jumpers ahead of this year's festivities.
Although Covid continues to put a dampener on some of the celebrations, a recent study found that Brits are looking forward to the Christmas holidays more than ever, with some having bought their presents as early as August.
According to Google Trends data, the excitement for festivities is also reflected in searches for Christmas jumpers, which have soared to record highs.
However, one businessman who was hoping to take advantage of the hype has instead been left with 1,000 slightly risqué jumpers after a hilarious misprint by the supplier, Lancs Live reports.
Karl Baxter, Managing Director of Wholesale Clearance UK purchased the stock from a supplier earlier this month after they decided against selling the dodgy designs in their high-street stores.
At first glance, the jumpers seem pretty innocent, with a snow tipped collar, sleeves, hem and snowflakes.
But, if you look a little closer the larger snowflakes appear to look like a series of phallic objects.
Mr Baxter felt it was only appropriate to raise money for a men’s health charity off the back of the mishap and is now appealing to any humorous festive fans to tap into their "naughty but nice" side this Christmas by purchasing one of the jumpers.
The wholesaler is hoping to sell the Christmas jumpers for a discounted price of £10 so that he can donate a percentage of the proceeds to Prostate Cancer UK.
According to data, prostate cancer will be the most common of all cancers by 2030, with more and more men getting diagnosed each year.

Karl Baxter, Managing Director at Wholesale Clearance, commented: “At Wholesale Clearance UK we buy unwanted or surplus stock from retailers to try and avoid any products being sent to landfill.
“So, when I was contacted by this particular supplier, we naturally stepped in to help shift the stock.
“This year we’re appealing to consumers to see the funnier side and stand out from the crowd by purchasing one of our jumpers.
“With the funds raised from the sales, we hope to donate the proceeds Prostate Cancer UK, to help fund prostate cancer research and increase awareness of the disease this Christmas.”
