Microsoft's new ugly sweaters are full of artifacts from the bygone era

As we enter the final month of 2025, Microsoft is unveiling a new lineup of holiday swag. The company has a tradition of releasing ugly sweaters during the holiday season, and this year is no exception. This time, Microsoft is offering three new designs, one of which is full of Microsoft artifacts.

The new holiday sweaters from Microsoft are now available on the company's merchandise store. All three designs celebrate different eras and products from the history of Microsoft. There is a sweater with the old-school Xbox logo, a Zune sweater with a play and back button (no squirting capabilities, sadly), and the so-called "Artifact Sweater" full of old-school Microsoft icons.

The Artifact Sweater has multiple icons of Microsoft products, most of which are no longer with us for better or for worse (there is Copilot, of course). Those include Pixel cursor, MSN, Clippy, Minesweeper, Internet Explorer, Microsoft 3.1 Paintbrush, Windows 3.1 Notepad, Windows Reversi, Microsoft Memo, Windows computer, Windows CD-ROM drive, Minesweeper emoji, Windows printer, Windows 3 logo, Windows recycle bin, Windows folder, MS-DOS, Copilot, Minecraft creeper, and more. Microsoft says this sweater "features vibrant cuffs and a collage of retro icons such as Clippy and Paint which celebrates the beloved tools that have shaped our digital lives."

As usual, Microsoft's latest sweaters are available in limited quantities, so if you want to get one, act fast. You can snag one or several from the company's merchandise store, Redmond Company Store in Seattle, and Microsoft Experience Center NYC, one of the last "offline stores" that Microsoft still runs (the one in Sydney, Australia, was closed for good earlier this year). The Xbox variant costs $59.95, while the Zune and Artifact Sweater will set you back $79.95. Stuff like this usually sells out quickly, so act fast.
