Christmas pajamas have turned into a full family tradition. Lots of families open one gift on Christmas Eve, and it’s almost always a new pair of PJs to wear for the tree photos and the morning chaos. The trick is finding a set that’s soft enough to sleep in, comes in every size you need, and still looks good on camera.
This list has 35 Christmas pajamas and cozy extras: matching family Christmas pajamas, Christmas pajamas for women, men’s flannel sets, kids’ and baby PJs, couples’ sets, character onesies and pajamas for the dog. We note fabric and size ranges where the store lists them. One tip before you scroll: matching family sets sell out in popular sizes by early December, so order the whole family’s sizes at the same time. Building a Christmas Eve box? Add a few picks from our best stocking stuffers, and for the kids see our Christmas gifts for kids.
How we chose: This is a researched shopping guide, not a hands-on test. We looked for Christmas pajamas with strong ratings (usually 4.4 stars or higher on Amazon), clear size ranges and fabrics that are comfortable to sleep in, like cotton, flannel and fleece. We also looked for brands that sell each family size separately, so you can mix a toddler, two adults and a dog in one print. We checked every price and stock status on October 31, 2026. Prices and sizes change fast in November and December, so the buttons take you to the store to see what’s available. When a pick from a smaller shop is also sold on Amazon, you’ll see a second Amazon button. Read our editorial standards for more on how we build lists.

Christmas pajamas by who's wearing them
For the whole family
Start with Burt's Bees Family Jammies or The Children's Place family pajamas, which sell every size separately. For a big group on a budget, use Amazon Essentials family pajamas.
For mom or your wife
She’ll wear the HEARTNICE plaid flannel set all winter. For a gift that feels a little fancier, try the Cup of Cheer pajama set with the Promeed silk pillowcase 2 pack.
For dad or your husband
Go with the Amazon Essentials men's flannel set or Club Room flannel sleep pants, and add Brookstone men's memory foam slippers. Movie fans get the Christmas Vacation plaid sleep pants.
For babies and toddlers
Footed fleece like Gerber fleece footed pajamas keeps little feet warm. Size up if your baby is between sizes.
For the dog
Measure the chest and back length, then pick Spark Paws dog pajamas for bigger dogs or the Fitwarm reindeer dog pajamas for small ones.
Sizing and fabric tips
Kids’ sets are usually snug fit, adult sets usually fit true to size, and fleece runs warm. Order every size at once, since matching prints sell out.
Skip this
A few things make Christmas pajamas a letdown. Here’s what to avoid.
- Guessing kids' sizes. Kids' pajamas are often snug fit for safety, so they run small. Check the size chart and size up if your child is between sizes.
- Waiting to buy matching sets. Popular family prints sell out in common sizes by early December. Buy every size you need in one order.
- Thick fleece for hot sleepers. Fleece is cozy for photos and hot by 2 a.m. Pick cotton or lightweight flannel for anyone who runs warm.
- Itchy novelty fabric. Some cheap costume onesies use stiff polyester. Read reviews for words like soft and comfortable before you buy one to sleep in.
Christmas pajamas FAQ

Buy Christmas pajamas in early to mid November. Matching family sets sell out in popular sizes by early December, and shipping slows down close to Christmas.
