It’s that time of year again: decorate the walls, trim the tree and get dressed up to gather with your loved ones for a wonderful Christmas feast. All this vacation cheer means it’s also time to dress your little one to impress with a baby Christmas suit that can be comfortable on their little bodies and absolutely adorable for all those family photos. And comfort is really the key to baby Christmas costumes, isn’t it? Uncomfortable babies are going to be quite unhappy - and that means all of your images could end up in the Hall of Fame of bad vacation images.
If you’re getting ready for a vacation card photoshoot and need your baby’s lewk to be on point or just want to show off at the Christmas party looking like Insta #familygoals, we’ve made it easy. Here are the best baby Christmas outfits available on the market right now.
1. Grey Cable Knit Layette Sweater
Green clothing for the holidays doesn’t really catch on.
This delightfully soft one-piece cable knit romper is not only cozy and gorgeous, but it’s also easy to open for diaper changes, thanks to its smooth buttons and decent-sized openings. Your little one can really celebrate in this green-colored onesie.

2. Hooded Snowman Jumpsuit
This hooded outfit is so cute that it might just melt your heart.
Your little snowman will be very comfortable in this little Christmas zip-up jumpsuit. Imagine your child being surrounded by (fake) snow on a holiday card wearing this? Just slip it on, throw some absorbent cotton on, and boom! Photo opportunity.
3. Long-sleeved plaid hooded sweatshirt pants
This is a baby Christmas outfit that doesn’t immediately announce that it’s a Christmas getup, so you could easily put your little one in this for fall and early spring as well. It’s really warm and soft - plus it washes like a dream. It’s really a versatile set and a baby Christmas outfit you can’t go wrong with.

4. Baby Boy Costume
A 1940s business person’s outfit? A baby boy in a newsboy suit? Either way, the level of cuteness in this baby Christmas costume is off the dang charts. The vest, the suspenders, the little hat - all combined make for a memorable look.
And since it’s made of soft materials, your baby won’t mind you putting it on (the hat won’t last long, though).

5. Newborn Romper for Baby Girl
While your family toasts with eggnog and hands out gifts, your baby will look super cute and relaxed in her red ruffled romper (even if the headband ends up somewhere under the high chair). Made of soft knit fabric, this onesie will keep your baby warm during the cold month of December and all year long.

6. My First Christmas Clothing for Newborns, Babies and Boys
This set gives off some real prep school baby vibes. But even if you don’t plan on sending your child to an expensive preschool, this set is soft, super washable and completely adorable. Just look at the little deer’s knees and the bow tie.
Best of all, it’s layered. You can combine it with other items in your baby’s wardrobe to make the most of it.

7. Hadetoto Baby Christmas Set
Rudolph, who is arguably the most important reindeer in Santa’s troop, this adorable one-piece features a cute design on the front. Just like Rudolph’s bright red nose, your baby will light up any party with this number.
The romper’s knit is smooth, and although it’s buttoned, we think they add to the aesthetic appeal, even if they limit convenience.

8. Cat in The Hat Footless Baby Sleeper
The best part of The Grinch Who Stole Christmas comes at the end, when... well, we won’t spoil it for you. Your whole family can gather on Christmas Eve to find out, and they will dress your little one for the show!
We love that it’s gender neutral. In this way, it can easily be passed from one family member to another.

9. Knitted baby reindeer sweater for Christmas
You’ll want to snuggle up to your baby when he wears this soft and cozy Christmas onesie. Take him to your grandma’s house wearing it, and his cheeks will be red (from all the loving pinching) by the time you get home.
Tiny reindeer dance across the top of this romper, which thankfully buttons up the legs and neck for simple changes. The classic pattern looks vintage, but the ease of cleaning tells you it’s thoroughly modern.

10. Long sleeve fleece knit romper
Is there an adult size? This knitted fleece romper is a trendy Christmas outfit your child will be comfortable in all day. It only has three buttons to allow for easy diaper changes, which are perfect.
I love the idea of pairing it with some particularly fun tights, perhaps in a contrasting color or fun pattern.
