Christmas pyjamas are the Christmas jumper’s clever younger sibling. Same festive print, same matching-family potential, none of the itching, and you are allowed to fall asleep in them on the sofa at four in the afternoon. Which, let us be honest, is the real plan for the 25th.
They have quietly become a proper tradition in their own right. Christmas Eve pyjamas, handed out before bed so the morning photographs are already sorted. Matching family sets in the same print, from grown-up chunky flannel down to a babygrow. And the plain-but-festive sort for anyone who wants to feel Christmassy without the reindeer committing to anything.
Worth knowing: brushed cotton and flannel are warm and look right in pictures, but a jersey set is the one you will still be reaching for in March. Matching family sets go out of stock in child sizes first, same as the jumpers, so order those early. And if you are buying a set as a gift, pyjamas are one of the few presents where going a size up is never the wrong call.
