Windows is reviving the early 2000s nostalgia this holiday season with the return of Windows Ugly Sweaters, featuring the iconic Bliss backdrop from Windows XP. The campaign supports The Nature Conservancy and includes a Sweaterathon event with Windows-specific trivia and more.
Windows Ugly Sweaters: A Nostalgic Holiday Return
Windows is bringing back the holiday spirit with a nostalgic twist, reviving the Windows Ugly Sweaters tradition. This year’s design features the iconic Bliss backdrop from the Windows XP era.
Unveiling the Bliss Backdrop
Remember the green hill and blue sky with white clouds from Windows XP? That’s the Bliss backdrop, a photograph taken in Sonoma County, California. It’s the star of this year’s Windows Ugly Sweater, bringing a touch of early 2000s nostalgia to your holiday wardrobe.
Supporting The Nature Conservancy
Windows is not only about nostalgia, but also about giving back. This year, they’re supporting The Nature Conservancy, an organization dedicated to conserving our planet’s lands and waters.
“This holiday season, Windows is bringing a touch of nostalgia to its ugly sweaters by going back to the early 2000s in the Time of XP.”
