If you've ever wondered what the royal family would wear if invited to an ugly Christmas sweater party, wonder no more.

On Tuesday, Madame Tussauds London revealed a major wardrobe change for the royal family, with each wax member donning a festive sweater in honor of the holiday season. According to People, the museum got permission to dress the royals up in honor of Save the Children's Christmas Jumper Day campaign Dec. 16, which encourages people to wear their favorite goofy sweaters and donate to the organization that helps "give children a healthy start."

"We are delighted to be able to support Save the Children by having our royal wax figures join in with Christmas Jumper Day campaign in a seriously stylish way," general manager of Madame Tussauds London Edward Fuller said in a statement. "Throughout the festive period, our guests can enjoy seeing Her Majesty and the royal family in their jumpers. We’ll be encouraging everyone to take a truly unique picture with the royals and donate in any way they can."

With incredible sweaters like this, who could resist?!

To help commemorate the moment, four real corgis - a nod to the queen's own - joined the wax figures for a little photo shoot Tuesday, truly bringing the holiday spirit alive.

Personally, I think my favorite of the sweaters is Kate Middleton and Prince William's joint jumper and the queen's royal corgi sweater - but they're all pretty epic.
