It’s hard to say when it started, but there’s no denying that holiday pajamas are a thing. Colorful, cozy and perfect for gifting, kids’ Christmas pajamas have become as much a part of the tradition as cookie baking and tree trimming.

Each year we pick out a pair for each kiddo and wrap them up to open on Christmas eve. Not only does it scratch that itch of opening something early but when they wake you up at 4:30am to open gifts, they’re already photo ready. (You, not so much probably. #sendcoffee)

We’ve rounded up some of our absolute favorites in a variety of holiday (and holiday-adjacent) prints which are all super cozy and 100% worthy of being worn allllll day long.

Shop kids’ Christmas pajamas below!

Hanna Andersson Modern Merry Matching Family Pajamas

Hanna Andersson

Matching Family Holiday Collections

$29

Iconic brand Hanna Andersson pretty much wrote the book on matching family PJs, and we could not love them more. There are so many Insta-worthy styles to choose from, including not one but two Grinch theme patterns, Hanukkah prints and my personal favorite–the Scandinavian-inspired Modern Merry print.  Good thing mixing and matching is an option because you’re going to have trouble choosing just one.
