Christmas pajamas are the one tradition I refuse to skip. New sets on Christmas Eve, the tree lights on, and the whole house in plaid or a print that feels like a storybook.

How I pick Christmas pajamas
- Flannel or brushed cotton. New England winters are not a modal moment.
- One print or one plaid. Matching, not identical. Everyone in the same red and green family looks like a photo. Everyone in the same set looks like a uniform.
- Order by early December. The good prints sell out in sizes first, then disappear.
Christmas pajamas: your questions
How do you pick Christmas pajamas the whole family will wear?
Pick one color story and let everyone wear a different pattern in it. Red plaid for the adults, red stripes for the kids, and the baby in whatever is cutest. Christmas pajamas look matched without being matchy, and the photos still look like a Christmas card.
Do Christmas pajamas make a good gift?
The best one. Christmas Eve pajamas are a tradition in so many houses, and a new set the night before is the gift everyone actually uses. Wrap them in the box with a mug and a movie and you are done.
When should I buy Christmas pajamas?
Early November. The best matching family Christmas pajamas sell out in sizes first, especially kids and baby, so buy the whole family at once.
What are the best matching family Christmas pajamas?
Hanna Andersson is the classic for a reason, they wash well for years. For less, Old Navy and Leveret have matching sets in every size from baby to adult.
Are flannel or cotton Christmas pajamas warmer?
Flannel. If you live somewhere with a real winter, flannel or brushed cotton is the move. Silk and modal are for people with better heat than me.
