Best Christmas outfits for kids

The perfect outfit for your baby’s first Christmas – the cute factor is massive with this shirt, trousers, braces, and bow-tie combo. Available in sizes from newborn to 18 months.

M&B Writer Hannah Carroll said: "It was my son's first Christmas, and I wanted to find an outfit that was both adorable and comfortable. That's when I found this four-piece set from Next. I loved how the little shirt had poppers at the bottom, making nappy changes super easy. I was also pleasantly surprised that the elasticated braces stayed up while he crawled around looking for his next present. Overall, the outfit was a huge success and received lots of compliments throughout the day!"

This Fairisle jumper is too cute, and suitable to be worn all throughout winter, not just at Christmas. It has buttons on the left shoulder for ease of dressing, and is made from 100 per cent organic cotton – gorgeously soft on little one’s skin.

M&B contributor Sophie Knight said: “I always treat my little ones to a Frugi Christmas jumper, as they’re always the softest ones I can buy. This one is such a cute design, and my little one loves the bears. It washes brilliantly and we’ll definitely be wearing it way before Christmas, and long after it (until it doesn’t fit any more).”

As bright as Rudolph’s nose, this red tulle dress is just adorable, and perfect for Christmas morning or parties. The gathered ruffles on the skirt like candy canes add cute details. Available in sizes from 18 months to eight years.

One customer review said: “This little dress is great, design, fabric, everything stylish for a young lady.”

The ideal shirt for Christmas morning, pair with jeans or soft cords, and your little one will be warm and comfy while ripping open wrapping paper. It’s 100 per cent cotton, and available in sizes from newborn through to three years.

One for the Minnie Mouse fans, this soft cotton Christmas top is perfect for Disney festive movie nights. Lighter and easier to wear than a chunky knitted jumper, this is a good choice if you want a kids’ Christmas outfit that will look after sensitive skin, or if your little one finds woolly jumpers a bit itchy.

For little ones who love dinosaurs as much as they love Christmas, this is the perfect combo in one festive jumper. Navy blue with a green dino wrapped in Christmas lights, this jumper is available in sizes from two to seven years.

One reviewer said: “Really cute Christmas jumper for my dinosaur-loving grandson.”

Nothing beats a good Fairisle jumper for Christmas, and this is just gorgeous, with red and white patterns and little reindeers all around. It’s made from super-soft 100 per cent organic cotton. Available in sizes from one to nine years. You can also buy a festive green version, but it doesn’t feature the adorable reindeers.

Whether you’re a fan of the Dr Seuss book, the original Jim Carey film, or the latest animated movie, the Grinch is everyone’s favourite Christmas grump (and we know it was people he had a problem with, not actually Christmas, so we’ll forgive him). This cute Grinch cartoon dress is ideal for Christmas parties and carol singing – or simply just watching the movie with a cup of hot chocolate. Available in sizes from one to 13 years.

We love this sweatshirt and leggings set. Not only because it’s always helpful to buy a set, knowing they’ll match perfectly, but because you can wear them separately as well. Your little one will love the soft reindeer ears on the sweatshirt. Available in sizes from one to six years.

The finishing touch to the best kids’ Christmas outfit, these ballet pumps with big, beautiful bows are simply gorgeous. Your little one will love the glittery sparkles on these shoes; you can also get red ones, too, just like Dorothy. Available in sizes from 7 to 2.

Help your mini-me join in all the reindeer games with this adorable Jingles Reindeer Knit & Tulle Dress from The White Company. Its throw-on design makes it perfect for children this Christmas, whether you're heading off to a party or just enjoying the festivities at home. What makes this a stand-out outfit for us is the little red pom-pom nose detailing. Available in sizes from one to five years.

One review said: "Beautiful! Well made! Packaged carefully! Design is gorgeous! A perfect all occasion dress for a little princess!"

What's not to like about this adorable tartan party dress? We fell for the tiny velvet Peter Pan collar and puff sleeves, which add a touch of elegance for Christmas Day. There's a button back opening for easy dressing, and a cute velvet ribbon tied around the waist. It's short-sleeved, so we recommend pairing with a cardigan and pair of tights to keep your child nice and warm. It's available in sizes from six months to six years.

One grandparent reviewer said: "I've bought this dress for my little granddaughter to wear on Christmas day, it is absolutely gorgeous and lovely quality."

Are you hosting a party? This Santa Girl costume will bring the magic of Christmas to life. This set features a red dress with pom-pom buttons and pocket detailing. It also has a black belt and faux fur-trimmed red shawl. The sweetest little Santa girl costume.

One parent reviewer said: "My daughter loved wearing this, great costume for the price."

Although these are pyjamas, the fun elf design can also double up as a great costume for Christmas. As well as the adorable print, we love that these elf Christmas pyjamas are available for children aged two to eight - meaning you can get matching sets for siblings.

One parent reviewer said, "Bought these in size 4-5 and fitted perfect, plenty of space for our little one but perfect size. Very good quality material and the print is decent. Our little one loved it."
