Girls Christmas Pyjamas

Girls Christmas pyjamas from toddler sizes through to the early teens, in soft cotton, brushed cotton and fleece. Festive prints from reindeer and gingerbread to quieter tartans and checks, cut with elasticated waists and pull-on tops.

Every design here sits within the wider kids Christmas pyjamas collection, so a girls set can be worn on its own or matched with siblings and parents in the same print.

Matching Mums and Daughters

Mum and daughter in the same print is the most popular pairing on this collection. The same designs run through our womens Christmas pyjamas range, so a girls set and an adult set are the same design rather than two that happen to look alike.

Buy both at once if you can. Adult sizes at the top and bottom of the range go first, and it is easy to end up with the child's set and no adult match left in that print.

What Christmas Pyjamas Do Girls Wear?

It changes fast between five and twelve, and getting it wrong is the main reason a set stays folded.

Under six, character prints do the job. Reindeer, gingerbread, elf and Santa designs sell strongest, and red is by far the most requested colour.

From seven to ten, dial the novelty down. A single motif on a plain ground gets worn more than an all-over cartoon print, and it carries better into the next size up.

From eleven, teenage Christmas pyjamas have to look like nightwear rather than costume. Tartan, check, Fair Isle and plain colourways with a small festive detail are what girls this age will actually put on, and most will join a coordinated household set in those when they would flatly refuse a novelty one.

Sizing Girls Christmas Pyjamas

Take the next size up if she is near the top of a band. These sets are bought in autumn and worn at the end of December, which is long enough for a snug fit to become a tight one. A roomy set gets worn; a tight one gets left on the bed.

Age bands assume an average height and build, so measure where you can, especially for girls at either extreme of their band. The size guide lists measurements rather than ages.

Fabric and Fit

Cotton and cotton blends suit most children, who sleep warmer than adults and spend Christmas in a heated house. Brushed cotton is the better pick for a cold bedroom, adding warmth without the way fleece holds heat.

Keep fleece and onesie styles for daytime and film nights rather than sleeping, particularly on Christmas Eve when the house is full and the oven has been on.

Matching Sisters and Siblings

Sisters match within this collection, and mixed sibling groups pair with our boys Christmas pyjamas edit in the same prints. Baby Christmas pyjamas pick up below the toddler sizes for younger siblings.

Where ages are far apart, match the print but not the style: the younger girl takes the novelty version, the older one takes it in a plainer colourway. The photograph still works and nobody wears something they have outgrown.

For the whole household in one design, our matching family Christmas pyjamas run a single print from baby sizes to adult, and on selected sets as far as the dog.
