To build anticipation for the forthcoming Sonic the Hedgehog 3 film, Paramount Pictures is bringing back the original, controversial Sonic design for an exclusive ugly sweater that could be yours through a sweepstakes. The contest is only open on December 11 and ends at 7 PM PT / 10 PM ET, so interested participants should enter now to avoid missing out. Alongside the ugly holiday sweater, fans have the chance to win Sonic-themed Reebok shoes, Jones soda, Sonic Lego sets, Sonic plushies, and more. Visit the sweepstakes website for additional details.
For those who may have missed it, when the first trailer for 2020's Sonic the Hedgehog debuted, fans were quick to criticize Sonic's design. In response, Paramount made the bold decision to delay the film and redesign the iconic character. The updated look was met with a much warmer reception, and the movie went on to achieve significant success, paving the way for a franchise that now includes film sequels and a TV show.
The upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is set to hit theaters on December 20. Jim Carrey reprises his dual roles, while Keanu Reeves joins the cast as Shadow. Ben Schwartz returns to voice Sonic once more. Carrey recently made headlines by revealing that he came out of retirement for Sonic 3 due to financial obligations.
In other holiday sweater news, Microsoft has launched a Red Ring of Death-inspired ugly sweater for its employees, which reportedly sold out rapidly.
