Last year, I bought my kids cute holiday outfits, and they ended up wearing their matching pajamas all day. I don’t consider it a fail—after all, we were living in the moment and enjoying the day so much that we couldn’t be bothered to get them dressed. They were comfy, happy, and joyful, which is really all that matters in the end.
That said, I won’t deny that I love dressing my kids up for special occasions and holidays. Since generally everything they wear gets put through the wringer (and usually ruined) at daycare and pre-school, I try to stick to basic, kid-friendly clothes in our daily life. But there’s just something so special about getting dressed in fancy clothes that makes the holidays even more fun—at least for me.
If you’re all about staying cozy in PJs all day, I fully support that. On the other hand, if you’re looking for a reason to get the kids dressed up for the holidays, you’ve come to the right place. Read on to shop our 11 outfit picks below!
