Holly Willoughby dons cute festive sweaters to promote Christmas Jumper Day for Save The Children

Whilst it may look a little different after a challenging year, Save the Children is hoping that flashing, festive knits will still be sweeping the nation on Friday 11th December.

And, Holly Willoughby, 39, joined Strictly’s Nicola Adams, 38, and Alex Scott, 36, as they don cute festive sweaters to promote Christmas Jumper Day and in turn to help raise money for charity. 

The This Morning presenter smiled as she posed for the campaign, clad in her choice of knitwear, which boasted a sequin-embellished Christmas pudding.

Speaking about her involvement in the campaign, Holly enthused: ‘Christmas is the most magical time for us at home, and we make it a yearly tradition to get cosy in our jumpers and open our presents.

‘This year, I am thrilled to be back supporting Save the Children to raise funds for those children who are in need.

‘I would encourage everyone to get involved and rock their own festive knit this Christmas Jumper Day.’

The Olympian admitted: ‘I’ve always been a fan of Christmas Jumper Day and you just can’t help but smile when you see people getting in to the festive spirit with a great Christmas jumper.

‘It’s such a fun way to help children around the world and it’s so easy to just donate £2 and you can really help change lives this Christmas.’

Football pundit Alex tried on two different jumpers, both boasting a red-nosed reindeer, and draped tinsel around her neck to add some sparkle.  

The former Strictly star explained: ‘I’ll be missing all the glittery fun of Strictly this year, so will be adding extra sparkle to my Christmas jumper instead and taking part in all the festive fun on Friday 11th will be a good substitute!’ 

‘Join me and pop on fabulous Christmas Jumper, donate £2 to Save the Children and you will be helping to support some of the world’s most vulnerable children in the UK and around the world.’

Christmas Jumper Day is when the nation comes together and helps make the world better with a sweater. 

The annual Christmas Jumper Day is once again set to create much-needed Christmas cheer and a chance to raise money for the world’s most vulnerable children in the UK and around the world.

Since launching in 2012 over 20 million people have signed up to take part, raising an incredible £25.1 million to help save children’s lives.

This year people can fundraise in whatever way works best: whether that’s a playground or office jumper challenge or a virtual quiz.

Whether at home, at school, or on top of Mount Everest, you can still get involved.

Save the Children are also encouraging the nation to have the most sustainable Christmas Jumper Day ever.

Rather than buying a new jumper the charity is encouraging everyone to dig out an old jumper and get crafty or head to their local Save the Children charity shop (or online!) to buy a pre-loved festive knit.

Everyone that takes part is asked to donate (£2 for adults and a suggested £1 for kids) to Save the Children, and help transform the lives of children around the world.
