The Ugly AI Holiday Sweater Giveaway for People Who Survived 2025
Yes, I’m literally giving one away. Here’s how to get in.
I finally did it. All the deep dives about AI movies, the threat of AI slop, and the future of culture is now an actual thing you can wear.
The MARS Magazine merch store is live with the first run of tees and sweaters, including the Ugly AI Holiday Sweater to kick things off. To celebrate the launch and the end of this extremely cursed year, I am GIVING ONE AWAY to someone subscribed to this newsletter.
Think of it as a little reward for surviving the glitching twenties.
Here is how this works:
Be subscribed to this newsletter by December 15th.
Free or paid subscribers both count.
That is it!
After the deadline I will pull one email at random from the list, email the winner, and send them the Ugly AI Holiday Sweater sweater in their size.
If you are already subscribed, you are already entered. If a friend forwarded this to you, you can hit subscribe and you will be entered into giveaway, too.
Why I made this stuff:
I wanted a way for people who have been reading and watching MARS Magazine to wear the conversation we’ve been having about AI outside in the real world.
I live for merch from obscure companies and shops. I can’t get enough. So it’s only fair to give back to my fellow weird merch mongers.
The Ugly AI Holiday Sweater isn’t the only swag available. We’ve included a few other surprises. You can see everything here: https://shop.marsmag.com
NOTES:
Giveaway closes Dec. 15th, 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time.
I will announce the winner in a quick update and email them directly.
I will cover the cost of the sweater and shipping to the winner.
If this goes well I will do more weird drops and experiments for subscribers only in 2026. Early looks, discounts, and maybe some pieces that never hit the public store.
Thanks for riding with me through this bizarre year and for supporting human made work in the AI era.
