No day out at the Natural History Museum is complete without a visit to their roaring, stomping, and generally awe-inducing animatronic T-Rex. But now that spectacle comes with an added side of Christmas cheer. In what has become an annual tradition, the fearsome T-Rex has once again been kitted out with its own Christmas jumper. That’s right, even the most terrifying of apex predators can now join in with the festive fun!
I’d imagine that finding yet a Christmas jumper big enough was no easy feat… not to mention the not-so-little Santa hat! This year’s ferociously festive jumper is exceedingly on-trend, featuring vibrant colours and the museum’s most recent prehistoric resident, Fern the Diplodocus, who made itself at home in the newly-transformed gardens back in July.
Your chance to match jumpers with a T-Rex
If you’d like to take the rare opportunity to co-ordinate your outfit with one of history’s deadliest predators (and why wouldn’t you?), here’s your chance. The Natural History Museum is selling human-sized versions of the dinosaur Christmas jumper at their museum shop and the online shop. You can also grab socks, hats and scarves in the same festive design. What a Christmas treat, hey?
It’s the perfect choice to give your Christmas wardrobe a bit of bite. The jumpers are made with 100% sustainable organic cotton at an ethical Manchester-based factory. Plus, who could possibly pass up the chance to snap a picture next to a T-Rex in matching sweaters?
The Natural History Museum’s animatronic T-Rex will be sporting the Christmas jumper through November and December. Find the Natural History Museum at Cromwell Road, South Kensington, SW7 5BD. The nearest stations are South Kensington and Gloucester Road.
