The best Christmas pyjamas 2024

Check out all the best Christmas pyjamas below, regardless of whether you're buying matching family Christmas pyjamas, his and hers Christmas pyjamas, or cute jammies for your pet or mini me.

Where can you buy the best Christmas pyjamas?

We love shopping for Christmas jammies on Amazon - they have the biggest selection of styles, designs, prints, colours, and sizes. 🎨

But you can also buy amazing Christmas pyjamas at many of the best retailers in the UK, including:

No matter where you buy, you'll surely get some of the best Christmas pyjamas to celebrate in style this year!

What do Christmas jammies cost?

You'll find both luxury Christmas pyjamas and cheap Christmas pyjama sets. ⭐️

Usually, high-end retailers sell more expensive sets, but you'll find cheaper Christmas pyjamas on Amazon and at many of the UK's high-fashion retailers, like Primark.

Even though matching Christmas pyjama sets are quite popular, these are rarely sold as true all-in-one sets.

Instead, you'd need to purchase each part of the set - for each family member - separately.

Prices usually begin from £10 and will increase depending on the number of family members and the quality of the pyjama set you're opting for.

Occasionally, more high-end brands will offer coupon codes, but make sure discounts are applied on checkout to guarantee the best deal possible. 🏷️

What to consider before buying Christmas pyjamas

Although budget may be the most important factor when shopping for the best family Christmas pyjamas, it's also essential to consider materials and comfort.

After all, the Christmas period is known to be frosty, so you certainly want to be cosy and comfortable! ☃️

Look at the below criteria before buying your next Christmas pyjama set:

Christmas pyjama materials

Most Christmas pyjamas are made from cotton, which is soft, breathable, and can easily be machine-washed and ironed.

Sometimes, cotton is mixed with polyester and/or elastane, which provides greater flexibility.

But you'll also find Christmas jammies made of other materials, like:

  • Flannel Christmas pyjamas: Great for those looking for extra warmth.
  • Wool Christmas pyjamas: These are particularly cuddly.
  • Satin or silk Christmas pyjamas: Ideal for those looking for elegant PJs.

There is no right or wrong when choosing Christmas pyjama materials - choose something you find warm, soft, and comfortable. 🤗

Those with sensitive skin or hot sleepers who sweat more easily, though, should stick to more natural materials as these tend to be more breathable.

Christmas pyjama designs

Family Christmas pyjama sets are available in a wide range of colours and designs, and some popular options include:

  • Checked Christmas pyjamas
  • Christmas pudding pyjamas
  • Christmas tree pyjamas
  • Disney Christmas pyjamas
  • Elf Christmas pyjamas
  • Fairisle Christmas pyjamas
  • Fleece Christmas pyjamas
  • Green Christmas pyjamas
  • Grinch Christmas pyjamas
  • Harry Potter Christmas pyjamas
  • Mickey Mouse Christmas pyjamas
  • Minnie Mouse Christmas pyjamas
  • Paw Patrol Christmas pyjamas

Adult and kids' Christmas pyjamas are available in a wide range of styles.

Cute designs like elf pyjamas are our favourites, but you can also find more classic options at high-end retailers.

You'll often also find bestseller options focusing on the latest trending films, shows, and cartoons.

Christmas pyjama sizes

Most Christmas PJ sets - especially on Amazon - are sold separately.

This means you'll need to buy each item individually, allowing you to choose the perfect sizing options.

It's worth keeping in mind that Asian manufacturers often have smaller sizing than local UK manufacturers, so you may need to buy a size up. 🇬🇧

The good thing about ordering on Amazon is that you get free delivery (with Amazon Prime) and can always return the items for a full refund if they don't fit.

Christmas pyjama styles

Christmas pyjama tops are usually long-sleeved, round-necked jumpers or button-up T-shirts, while bottoms usually include long trousers with stripes or Christmas motifs.

While these are the traditional styles, you can now also find a whole range of Christmas pyjama and loungewear add-ons, including nighties, pyjama shorts, dressings gowns, night robes, and blanket hoodies.

Occasionally, you'll also find onesies for superior Christmas comfort.

Should you get Christmas jammies?

Christmas is all about joy, so why not celebrate in style with some great family Christmas pyjamas? 🎉

We're fans of making the festive season more festive and think matching Christmas pyjamas are a great idea.

Recap of the UK's best Christmas pyjamas:

Frequently asked questions

  • Why are Christmas pyjamas so popular?


    Matching sets of the best Xmas PJs have been popular since the 1950s.

    Traditionally, these were deemed Christmas Eve pyjamas to celebrate the night before Christmas.

    But these days, Christmas nightwear forms a popular Christmas tradition, and many families wear matching Christmas PJs for the entire festive season. 🎄

    While matching pyjamas are most popular for families with young children, there's no rule saying that singles or couples can't join in on the fun as well.

    You'll find dozens of women's Christmas pyjamas, men's Christmas pyjamas, couples' Christmas pyjamas, and children's Christmas pyjamas, including sets for baby boys and baby girls, on Amazon and at major UK retailers. 

    If jammies aren't your thing, we'd recommend opting for traditional Christmas jumpers, sweatshirts, hoodies, loungewear, night dresses, or dressing gowns.

    You could even invest in some cute Christmas bedding - an excellent idea for Christmas gifts, too!

    And if you're unsure which style to get, opt for a Christmas gift card so your loved ones can buy their favourite options. 

  • What are the warmest Christmas pyjama materials?


    Since Christmas falls into the coldest period of the year, you want to ensure your Christmas pyjamas are warm and cuddly. ❄️

    The best materials to choose from include wool, flannel, fleece pyjamas, and cotton pyjamas.

    Most Christmas pyjamas will include a long-sleeved top and long pyjama bottoms.

    If you're cutting down on heating costs, we suggest getting cuddly socks or slippers to match!

    And for the ultimate warming cuddle, why not invest in a Christmas Oodie or weighted blanket?

  • What other Christmas clothing is available?


    While Xmas PJs and Christmas jumpers are popular in the UK, you'll also find Christmas-themed swimwear (for those going on holiday), partywear, scarves, bodysuits, sleepsuits, leggings, and lingerie. 

  • What are Christmas oodies?


    Jumpers and jammies are quite popular, but have you heard of Christmas Oodies?

    An Oodie - a brand name of more generic blanket hoodies - is like a jumper crossed with a blanket - something you wear and cuddle with simultaneously.

    Oodies are usually made of soft, warm materials and have giant pockets, ideal for gingerbread snacks or keeping your hands warm and comfortable. 

    Amazon UK sells dozens of Christmas Oodies featuring festive motifs like elves, snowmen, or penguins.

    If the best Christmas PJs aren't snuggly enough for you, then a Christmas blanket hoodie may just be the way to go!
