Festive sweaters get a lot of love, but holiday pajamas are the quickest way to the hygge holiday we deserve this year. Matching family Christmas pajamas have become as ubiquitous a holiday tradition as trimming the tree. From colorful sets for a family full of elves to subtle patterns designed for a more silent night, here are some perfect jammies — whether Christmas pajamas, matching “fam jams,” or for your ideal holiday season.
Lanz of Salzburg
Long beloved for its trusty warm nightgowns in retro Alps-inspired prints, this flannel stalwart recently expanded into the “fam jams” realm. The company is introducing its latest tartan patterns for a full Von Trapp’s worth of sleepers, including men’s and women’s pajamas, a slew of nighties, night shirts, unisex toddler jammies, robes, ruffle-rumped (or ruffle-free) onesies, and dog jammies and bandanas. For true “I in my kerchief” vibes, there’s also a cozy men’s nightshirt that’s as comfy as can be for late-night Hallmark watch parties.
Holiday hygge levels: Time-honored holiday nostalgia.
Hanna Andersson
Founded by a Swedish expat living in the United States, Hanna Andersson aims to offer timeless designs made with sustainable fabrics for the whole family. The matching pajamas are a signature, with options for adults, kids, babies, and pets. Though the Scandinavian-inspired Dear Deer print shows up each year, devotees change it up regularly with newcomers like the Fair Isle Nightmare Before Christmas pattern, Apres Ski, or Heirloom Ornaments.
Holiday hygge levels: Fodder for family photos.
Gap
A perennial crowd-pleaser, Gap has jammies in a range of sizes and festive prints, including plaids and buffalo check flannel for all ages in various styles, including maternity onesies and pup PJs. Though the company leans most heavily into its wintry, retro “Happy Plaid” this year, there is also a small selection of Hanukkah and Santa jammies for the whole family. As a bonus, the matching family styles are part of the company’s line of responsibly made clothing.
Holiday hygge levels: Can keep you cozy well into the new year.
Old Navy
A sibling company to Gap, Old Navy has holiday pajamas on lock as part of its “Jingle Jam Shop.” Navigate by patterns, including plaids, stripes, buffalo checks, Fair Isles, Santas, trees, Hanukkah, and New Year’s, as well as novelties. That last category yields what might be our favorite print of the season: an array of naughty cats and dogs getting into holiday mischief, available in options for men, women, maternity, kids, and babies. Even better? They’re often marked down. Don’t forget to grab some festive fleece socks to up the coziness factor.
Holiday hygge levels: Holly jolly at home.
Pottery Barn Kids
You know Dasher, but did you know that PB Kids has a whole line of Rudolph® pajamas featuring Sam the Snowman, Hermey, and other characters from the 1964 stop-motion classic? Newer to the holiday pajama game, PB Kids also has a classic old-fashioned Santa print for the whole family. There are onesies for babies, then kids and adults can choose from long-john-style cotton jammies or flannel pajamas. Even better, there are matching Rudolph mugs and dishes, for hot chocolate and cookie pairings.
Holiday hygge levels: Classic holiday warm and fuzzies.
Target
Target? More like tartan! The store earns a bullseye for its vast array of fam jams, including three different festive tartans, plus novelty Christmas and Hanukkah prints. Holiday Gnomes and Hannukah Lions are quirky takes on the usual options. But we’re partial to the limited-edition designs by Alice Butts and Kathie Baptista.
Holiday hygge levels: Something fun for everyone.
