More Great Brands for Matching Family Christmas Pajamas

Our Review Process

To create our list of the best family Christmas pajamas, we considered a variety of core factors and incorporated suggested concerns from our experts. We specifically considered the following: 

• Materials: Is the material soft and gentle for sensitive skin? Is it breathable?
• Variety: Does the brand offer a wide range of Christmas or holiday-themed prints? Is it inclusive for more than just Christmas? Are there different styles to choose from?
• Sizes: Is the sizing inclusive across categories? Does the brand offer pajamas for babies, kids, and adults? Are there options for pets?
• Durability: Do the pajamas hold up with repeated washing? Does the color fade or the sizing warp with repeated use?
• Price: Are these reasonably priced or are these a splurge purchase?

Our Experts

We spoke to two experts to find out exactly which materials to look for in a great pair of pajamas as well as any safety tips families should keep in mind.

• Marisa Garshick, MD, Fellow of the American Academy of Dermatology (FAAD), board-certified dermatologist at MDCS Dermatology, based in Midtown Manhattan, New York and Englewood, New Jersey.
• Whitney Casares, MD, MPH, Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics (FAAP), board-certified pediatrician, CEO and founder at Modern Mommy Doc, and American Academy of Pediatrics spokesperson.

Factors to Consider When Buying Family Christmas Pajamas 

• Sizing and Fit: Most brands offer matching family pajamas in sizes for babies, toddlers, kids, and adults. Some even include options for pets and dolls. If you’re shopping for babies and toddlers, ensure their pajamas fit properly. “Babies should wear tightly fitted pajamas because excess fabric around their mouths increases their risk of suffocation, which increases the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS),” says Dr. Casares. “This matters most for the tiniest of infants up to 1 year of age, but tightly fitted pajamas are a plus for children of all ages because they allow them to move more freely and are often made up of more comfortable materials.” Tight-fitting pajamas are also beneficial because, according to Dr. Casares, they “[don’t] allow air between the pajama’s fabric and a child’s skin, so if a fire does start around a child, it won’t have access to the oxygen it needs to ignite further,” she explains.
• Style: Try to pick a style that the whole family will love wearing. Consider a classic holiday style like red-and-green plaid, a character print featuring someone like the Grinch or Mickey Mouse. Also consider longevity as more versatile prints like plaid or snowflakes can be worn throughout the rest of the winter, while a Santa Claus print won’t make sense after the holidays. 
• Safe Materials: You’ll notice that kids’ pajamas will be advertised as flame-resistant or flame-retardant. According to Dr. Casares, sleepwear for children sized for 9-month-olds and up has to be flame-resistant to be sold in the U.S. under federal safety rules. An alternative to using flame-retardant materials is to make the PJs tight-fitting. When you’re looking at the label, Dr. Garshick recommends cotton. “It tends to be the most gentle on the skin and the least irritating,” she says. 
• Comfort: Unless these pajamas are only being used for a quick photo opp, you’ll want them to be comfy enough for everyone to sleep in them. Both Dr. Garshick and Dr. Casares note that cotton is soft, comfy, and easy to move around in. She adds, “I would steer clear of pajamas with extra beads, buttons, or embroidery to reduce the risk of choking hazards.” Dr. Casares notes that natural fabrics, like cotton, bamboo, linen, and wool, are more comfortable and offer better quality than synthetic options like nylon, polyester, and rayon. Lastly, if your kids have sensitive skin, Dr. Garshick recommends avoiding polyester or wool, which “can be irritating on the skin and wool may be difficult for temperature control.”
