While some people may still be recovering from their annual Halloween candy hangovers, [Whoopi Goldberg](http://time.com/4487382/whoopi-goldberg-opening-ceremony-fashion-show/?iid=sr-link1) is ready for the holidays. The actress, comedian, [entrepreneur](http://time.com/4276374/whoopi-goldberg-medical-marijuana/?iid=sr-link5), and host of _The View_ showed up on _The Tonight Show_ on Monday night decked out in a Christmas sweater complete with dancing reindeer wearing actual jingle bells.

Goldberg was on the show to introduce the new line of [holiday sweaters](http://time.com/4528247/whoopi-goldberg-christmas-sweaters/?iid=sr-link6) that she designed for Lord & Taylor. The light-up, bedazzled designs will undoubtedly be making an appearance at a few holiday parties this year. Goldberg’s holiday sweaters aren’t just for those who celebrate Christmas either. “You never see a good Hanukkah sweater,” she explained, while unveiling her octopus menorah design, just one of the inclusive designs.

In keeping with the holiday spirit, Goldberg brought a sweater for [Jimmy Fallon](http://time.com/4500872/jimmy-fallon-hillary-clinton-tonight-show/?iid=sr-link2), too and convinced him to, don the _Charlie Brown Christmas_\-themed design while doing his best [_Price is Right_ ](http://time.com/3850241/jimmy-kimmel-price-is-right-contestant-wheelchair-treadmill/?iid=sr-link1)model impression. Feel free to mimic his moves at your own ugly sweater party—when the holidays actually arrive.
