Since 2012, the charity has raised more than £35 million for children in Britain and around the world, calling on Brits across the country to wear their best woolen clothes for the day.
Last year, more than 3 million people took part in Christmas Jumper Day, raising a whopping £5 million for children around the world.
The TV and radio stars all wore second-hand jumpers for the fundraising project.
Holly said: ‘Christmas Jumper Day is a really fantastic way to raise lots of money for Save the Children and it’s so easy to get involved!
‘On December 7, just put on your favorite Christmas jumper and donate £2.

Holly put on a brave face despite the difficult circumstances she has faced in recent months.
Holly, who originally joined the This Morning team in 2009, left the show ‘for the sake of her family’ after discovering she was the target of a foiled kidnap and murder plot.
