Every family has its holiday traditions. Some bake cookies together, others watch the same Christmas movie year after year, and mine? We make everyone wear matching pajamas. It's stuck around through decades of Christmas mornings, questionable plaid patterns, and a few less-than-enthusiastic family members who needed convincing. But there's something about seeing everyone in the same festive PJs that makes the holiday feel more special, even if we're just lounging around and hanging out.
As the family's unofficial pajama shopper, I've learned that the trick is finding something everyone will actually want to wear. Luckily, plenty of brands make matching Christmas pajamas in everything from classic red-and-green stripes to adorable North Pole-inspired prints. Ahead, I've rounded up the best places to shop for the whole crew, whether you're coordinating with your partner, dressing the kids, or including your four-legged family members.
If I could exclusively sleep in Posh Peanut pajamas, I would. They are the softest jammies I've ever felt, and I am constantly buying them for my new niece when there is a sale. They are pricey, but there are a few things my family loves about them, besides for how cozy they are. The biggest thing is that the sizes have big ranges (6-12 months, for example), meaning your child can grow with them, and you don't have to worry about them outgrowing them by December if you buy 'em in October. And they have adult sizes to match exactly.
There are so many great brands on Amazon. One of them is Ekouaer, featured in the photo. While we haven't tested them in our lab, because of the high reviews and price, the brand has made our best pajamas for women list. While not real silk, the outside offers a smooth texture, while inside you'll get all the warmth thanks to the microfleece lining.
Everyone at GH is a big fan of Hanna Anderson. The brand even made our list for the best clothing brands for kids. Made from organic cotton, these PJs are so soft. The biggest draw, though, is that Hannah Anderson has licensed character clothes, meaning you can get your jammies outfitted with scenes from How the Grinch Stole Christmas, The Polar Express, and more of your favorite Christmas movies.
Printfresh might be one of my favorite places for holiday PJs—they have modern, fresh designs in adult sizes XXS through 6X and kids’ sizes 2 though 14. We love that most of their styles are made from 100% organic cotton or cotton poplin. They also have a lovely flannel Hanukkah set.
Every year, I'm more and more impressed with The Children's Place's matching pajamas offerings. Plus, they often collaborate with celebs, like Mariah Carey, to make exclusive patterns. One thing I really like is that many of the PJs have sayings that tie the crew together, like "We Are Family" or "Team Santa."
Offered on the website and Amazon, Burt's Bees Baby sets are made from 100% cotton. They are also on the more affordable side considering how soft they are. The brand is often a go-to for me when it comes to baby clothes, but adults will absolutely feel comfortable in these as well.
Pat Pat is known for its matching styles—for everything from pajamas to full outfits. They even get the pets in on the fun with cute little bandanas. There are so many fun options, but last year, our GH readers really liked this cheeky set. They also have glow-in-the-dark options.
Pottery Barn Kids doesn't just have great furniture! The quality of the clothes is also top-notch. And what's great is you can order online and have them shipped to your store if you prefer pickup. The sets are made from 100% yarn-dyed organic cotton—that means the yarn is dyed before it gets sewn into the pattern, which helps keep the vibrancy of the color.
Got that Kohl's cash burning a hole in your pocket? Spend it on jammies. Kohl's has plus and big and tall sizes, which makes it score big points. It also has pants, shorts and nightgown options, depending on what each member likes to wear—as well as bandanas for pets. Some sets even come with matching PJs for dolls.
Was Old Navy the original matching family pajamas trendsetter? Maybe! If you want to keep things simple, Old Navy is the place to go because you can buy just matching shirts, so adults can wear their own pants, which is always a plus in my book. And it's cheaper. Plus, Old Navy has different styles for kids' pjs: collared or snug-fit.
