Tstars Dabbing Santa Kids Sweatshirt Review: Still Fun?
Santa mid-dab on a soft kids' crewneck, printed in the USA. A cheap, washable way to get kids into the family's ugly sweater night.
Yes, for a grade schooler who wants in on the family theme. It is soft, cheap and easy to wash after a class party [1]. Skip it for a teen, because the dab joke is aimed at younger kids.

Pros and cons
- Dab joke feels young for teens
- Not a knit if the family dresses in knits
- Size chart is in the photo gallery, easy to miss [1]
Santa caught mid-dab
The design is Santa doing the dab, a joke younger kids still find hilarious. It is silly in the right way for a class party or a family photo.
Tstars sells it for youth boys and girls, in a range of colors [1]. Pick a color that matches what the adults are wearing.
Tstars is a big seller of printed apparel on Amazon, and it designs and prints this sweatshirt locally in the USA [1]. It sits at a price where a lost or stained one is no disaster.
Soft enough for a whole school day
Small kids hate itchy knits. This is a soft, breathable sweatshirt with a relaxed fit, so they will keep it on past lunch [1].
The print is applied by direct to garment or screen printing and cured to set into the fabric [1]. Wash it cold and tumble dry on medium, and do not iron over the print [1].
The relaxed fit also leaves room for a long sleeve tee underneath on cold days, so it doubles as a school sweatshirt through January.
Teens and the dab
The dab had its moment. A young teen may find a dabbing Santa more embarrassing than funny.
For an older kid, a movie joke or a plain loud sweater may land better. Check the size chart in the photos too, since kids' sizing varies by brand [1].
Matching with the grown-ups
For a family theme, this is the cheap kid piece next to the adult sweaters. Pair it with the Ann Arbor T-shirt Co. Santa and Elf Christmas Sweatshirt for a parent in the same soft style.
A sibling who loves dinosaurs can take the Tstars Dino Gamer Kids Ugly Christmas Sweater from the same guide, so both kids have their own joke.
Buy it before the school holiday day, not after. Class parties often fall in the last week before the break, and delivery dates tighten in December.
FAQ
