When it comes to Christmas outfits, you really can't go wrong with a classic girls Christmas dress. This year's collection has everything from traditional red and green styles to softer pastels that are perfect for the season.

Smocked Christmas Dresses

If you love the vintage charm of smocking (and honestly, who doesn't?), you're going to LOVE this year's smocked Christmas dresses.  Smocked details add that extra special touch that makes holiday photos absolutely precious.  We've got gingerbread themed smocked dresses in soft pink that are the perfect toddler Christmas dress.  

The beauty of smocked Christmas outfits is that they're comfortable enough for all day wear but still photograph like a dream.  Your daughter can wear her smocked dress to morning church services, afternoon cookie decorating, and still look fresh for evening festivities.  Browse our smocked Christmas outfits and see all the different options we've got this year!

Red Plaid & Tartan Styles

Nothing says Christmas quite like classic plaid! Our red plaid Christmas dresses have coordinating details that make sibling photos a breeze. Pair them with white knee socks and mary janes, and you've got an instant holiday classic. We also have midnight tartan patterns that bring that sophisticated holiday feeling while still being totally kid-friendly.

Special Occasion Dresses

And now for our little gentlemen! Finding cute Christmas outfits for boys can sometimes feel like a challenge, but we've made it easy with styles that are handsome, comfortable, and actually appropriate for kids (no tiny tuxedos here, thanks).

Boys Christmas Sweaters

This year's boys Christmas sweaters are everything. We've got classic Santa designs in both blue and pink that work for both brother and sister. The blue Santa sweater is perfect for brothers to match, and our festive boys graphic tees feature Santa dogs. Super fun, casual touch to holiday celebrations. Our sweaters are soft, cozy, and made to withstand actual kid activities (you know, chasing cousins around grandma's house while hopped up on sugar cookies).

Button-Down Shirts & Oxfords

For a more dressed-up look, our boys button-down shirts and oxfords are fantastic. The green check Oxford is a fall and holiday staple that pairs perfectly with our khaki, red or navy twill pants.  We also have red check Oxfords and midnight tartan button-downs that coordinate beautifully with sisters dresses for those matching family Christmas outfits everyone loves.

Baby Boy Christmas Outfits

Our littlest guys need love too! Our baby boy Christmas outfit collection includes adorable embroidered bubble rompers (hello, nutcracker design!), reversible longalls that take you from Thanksgiving through Christmas, and classic smocked bubbles in red stripes with festive details. These are designed to be as practical as they are cute because we know babies don't sit still for long.

Kids Christmas Outfit Ideas #3 - Matching Christmas Outfits for Siblings

And now onto one of our favorites - Sibling matching outfits! There's something so sweet about brothers and sisters dressed in coordinating styles. Our matching Christmas outfits make it easy to coordinate without being too matchy-matchy.

Many of our collections this year come in coordinating patterns for both boys and girls. The red plaid collection, for example, has dresses for girls and button-downs for boys in the same fabric. The midnight tartan works the same way. And our Santa-themed pieces? They come in options for the whole crew.

The best part about sibling matching sets is that they make Christmas photos SO much easier. No more stressing about whether colors clash or if everyone looks cohesive. Just pick a collection, order the right sizes, and you're done!

Tips for Choosing the Perfect Christmas Outfits

Here's what we've learned after years of dressing kids for the holidays:

  • Comfort is key.  Your daughter's Christmas dress should be soft enough that she won't be tugging at it all day. Same goes for boys' shirts and pants. If they're uncomfortable, those holiday photos will show it.
  • Think about the weather.  Christmas in South Carolina is different than Christmas in Minnesota. Layer accordingly! Our long sleeve options work great for cooler weather, while our classic dresses and button downs are perfect for milder climates.
  • Order early and size up if needed.  Kids grow SO fast.  Check our sizing charts on each product page, and when in doubt, go up a size. You want these outfits to last through the entire season.
  • Don't forget about shoes and accessories.  A great hair bow can really complete a look for girls, and the right shoes pull everything together. We've got options for both!
