10 of the best family Christmas pyjamas
Family Christmas pyjamas' demand is ever increasing. Here are our top picks for 2022 to enjoy a cosy, festive evening with your family in matching pyjamas. Be sure to buy now as stock is running low
Christmas is all about bringing people together in fun and memorable ways, and family Christmas pyjamas are becoming more and more popular each year. The whole family wearing matching Christmas pyjamas while unwrapping presents on Christmas morning is a fun novelty experience. Alternatively, they could be fun to wear instead of an Oodie, on a family Christmas break away or on a family movie night whilst snuggled under a heated throw. There are so many family Christmas pyjamas on offer this year. You can go bright and loud, or you can opt for a more subtle approach, picking a print like traditional tartan.
No matter your family dynamic, you can buy matching Christmas pyjamas to suit you. They are available for newborns, toddlers, kids, women and men...some even allow you to include your dog in the fun!
However, it is important to note that due to the growing demand for family Christmas pyjamas, they do sell out very quickly. If you see any that you like in this list, we suggest you grab them now before they go.
Below, we have a round up of 10 of the best family Christmas pyjamas to help you feel the festive spirit. You can wear these matching pyjamas in the lead up to Christmas as you're settling down and watching a Christmas film with your family, or save them for Christmas day.

How did we choose our 10 of the Best?
When testing and selecting the best family Christmas pyjamas we considered sizes available, appearance, comfort and value.
Our 10 of the Best lists are compiled by qualified and experienced parenting journalists. They rely on a number of sources, including our independent reviews, testing undertaken during the MadeForMums Awards, and feedback from our home testing panel and Top Testers Club. Each year thousands of products are put through their paces by hundreds of parents across the country on behalf of MadeForMums, to ensure we’re bringing you honest and true reviews and recommendations.
Our list is not an ordered ranking from 1-10, instead it is a carefully selected group of tried-and-tested products, each of which we believe is best for a different situation or requirement. We don't just tell you what is best, we help you discover what is best for your family.
