Powder Day Ugly Hanukkah Sweater: Meet Barry, Dusted All Eight Nights
Quick answer: Powder Day is our ugly Hanukkah sweater starring Barry, a bear wearing a fresh fall of powdered sugar all eight nights, and keeping it. It comes as an all-over-print sweatshirt ($79.99, 2XS to 6XL), a tee ($27.99, XS to 5XL), kids and toddler tees, and two couples sets, all printed to order. Order by November 23 for delivery by the first night of Hanukkah, Friday, December 4, 2026.
Fresh powder, all eight nights. Barry sat down with a plate of sufganiyot on the first night, and the powdered sugar has been settling on him like snowfall ever since. He has noticed. He has decided it suits him.
Barry is the newest member of the cast, and Powder Day is one of four Hanukkah designs in our range: Slow Burn has the candles, Latke Night has the latkes, Spin Class has the dreidel, and this one has the jelly doughnuts.
What is on the sweatshirt
Barry sits at a wooden table in a blue Hanukkah sweater, holding a sufganiyah with the jelly dot showing, sugar dusted across his head, his shoulders and his sleeves. A plate of doughnuts and a sugar sieve sit in front of him, and snow falls past the window behind. On the sweatshirt, Barry sits in a panel on the chest, framed by blue and cream fair-isle bands with snowflakes, running around the back and down the sleeves.
The Ugly Rating: 7 out of 10
7/10, “dusted, unbothered.” He gains a point for commitment to the sugar and a point for the expression, which is the face of a bear who has heard every joke about it. He loses one for neatness: the plate is still nearly full.
What the cast made of it
Capybara, Chief Festivity Officer
Recognised a fellow professional immediately. Brought latkes, sat down opposite, and the two of them have not spoken since. It is the best friendship in the building.
Bull, Head of Careful Handling
Was asked to carry the doughnuts. Carried them very, very slowly. Not one grain of sugar was lost, which he considers his finest work.
Sitting Duck, Head of Quality Control
Inspected the sugar coverage on Barry from every side, in complete silence, then dusted a little more onto the left shoulder for symmetry.

Wearing it to the doughnut table
Stand near the sufganiyot and let the sugar land where it lands. The cream and blue sweatshirt hides a dusting better than any black sweater ever has, and it wears just as well at a family dinner as at a party.

FAQ
Who is Barry?
Barry is the bear on Powder Day and the newest member of the Festive Folks cast. He is known for wearing a fresh fall of powdered sugar all eight nights, and keeping it.
Is it knitted or printed?
Printed. The sweatshirt is an all-over print, edge to edge, and the tees carry a knitted-look badge. Printing lets the character appear exactly as drawn. Our real knits are the traditional fair-isle line.
When should I order for the first night of Hanukkah?
By November 23 for delivery in the US by Friday, December 4, the first night. Orders up to December 11 still arrive in the US before Christmas and the later nights.
Does the price change by size?
One price at every size: $79.99 from 2XS to 6XL on the sweatshirt, $27.99 from XS to 5XL on the tee, and one price per pair on both couples sets.
Is there a kids version?
Yes. The kids tee comes in youth S to XL at $24.99 and the toddler tee in 2T to 5T at $21.99, both with the same badge as the adult tee. See every design in our Hanukkah collection.
The Festive Folks’ Verdict
Buy Powder Day for the person who goes back to the doughnut plate and comes back dusted. It scores a 7, it introduces Barry, and it comes in every size from toddler to 6XL. Order by November 23 for the first night. It pairs well with Latke Night, and the rest of the family is in our Hanukkah collection.
