It's that time of year again: Deck the halls, trim the Christmas tree , and get dolled up to gather with your loved ones over a wonderful Christmas feast. All of this holiday cheer means that it's also time to dress your little one to impress with a baby Christmas outfit that can be both comfy on their tiny bodies and absolutely adorable for all of the family pics. And comfort really is key for baby Christmas outfits, isn’t it? Uncomfortable babies are going to be quite unhappy — and that means that all your pictures could end up in the Hall of Fame of bad holiday pics.
Outfits like these are perfect Christmas gifts from grandparents to their grandbabies. Get them ready before Thanksgiving, and you have all that time to see your grands in their gifts and snap all of the candids that you can.
Whether you're prepping for a holiday-card photoshoot and need your babe's lewk to be on point or just want to show up to the Christmas party looking like Insta #familygoals, we've made it easy. These are the best baby Christmas outfits on the market right now.
1Pine-Colored Prize
Green clothing for the holidays really gets the short shrift, in our opinion.
This deliciously 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 slick buttons and decent-sized openings. Your little one can really deck the halls in this evergreen-colored romper.

2Easy Union Suit
Christmas morning or Christmas dinner will be 100% cuter with this affordable union suit from H&M. The light green backdrop is the perfect counterpoint for all the different Santa Clauses. It's an easy wash-and-wear outfit that isn't so precious that you're constantly monitoring it.
3Balloon Sleeve Beauty
Nordstrom is a solid choice for any and all things special occasion for babies and toddlers. This dress is no exception. The balloon sleeves and the knit rib top combine to look chic and still sweet and baby-like — and tbh, I wouldn't say no to a similar dress in my size.

4Tartan Times
Soft, supple sweetness awaits with this cozy tartan-printed sweater from H&M. It's super Christmasy, no doubt about that, but it's not a sweater that can only be worn at Christmas. It wouldn't be out of place on Valentine's Day or Thanksgiving — or really any time you want your baby to look a bit more polished.
5A Romper Delight
Reindeer were never so cute! Look at the buffalo check, the antlers, the sweet zip-up union suit. Can you imagine taking off your baby's jacket and revealing this outfit to the family? The "oohs" and "aahs" will be instantaneous and overwhelming. Get your cameras (aka iPhones) ready because this is frame-worthy.
6An Adorable Set
Who says girls can't love trucks? Chopping down a Christmas tree is a time-honored tradition for many families, and this dress showcases that in a bold print. Whether it's carrying gifts or a tree, this dress, cardigan, and shoe set is ready for a set of tights and some ruffled ankle socks.

7Cozy and Cute
Keeping baby toasty warm is easy when they're wearing this sweater romper and cap set. You could layer beneath and over the red reindeer romper, or it can be worn alone with a cute pair of baby walking shoes that match the theme without keeping them from toddling.
8Three-Piece Party
Is it a baby or a proper British librarian walking around the Bodleian Library's rare book stacks? Hard to tell. Your baby in this vest-bow tie-plaid pants combination can be worn separately, but why would you when together it's almost perfect? It just needs a bit of pizazz with a hat or cute shoes.
9Victorian Beauty
It has a bonnet. I repeat: It has a bonnet. It's about as classic a Christmas dress as you can get. It's not quite Victorian, not quite Regency, but definitely timeless. Your baby's pictures will make you smile for the rest of your years, that's for sure.

10Easy and Simple
Babies need easy clothes sometimes, even at holiday parties. They'll be playing, opening gifts, eating a ton of pie and mashed potatoes, and having something adorable to wear. It's also easy to move in and get changed in, which is everything that's important to parents when it comes to baby clothes. This Peter Pan-collared romper is ready for holiday and dirty diapers.
11Ruffly Equestrian Fun
Ruffled dresses scream holiday to me. This sweet dress paired with equestrian boots, shimmery tights, and maybe even a bonnet would be the perfect outfit for pictures by the fireplace with parents, grandparents, and siblings gathered round. It's classic without being too saccharine, and the color is neutral enough for everyday wear.
12A Classic Set
It is my opinion that little boys are the cutest when they're dressed a little bit like old men. If they look like they are carrying Werther's Original in their pocket, then it's just right. I would pair these with either fully-old dude loafers or go for a pair of white Nikes.

13A High-Quality Onesie
If you're looking for an heirloom-quality sleeper with an easygoing attitude, this one is the one you want. It's top-notch styling, materials, and detail — and conveniently zippered and machine-washable. This Hanna Andersson sleeper will take a lot of damage and still look great.
14Best Costume Onesie
This hooded outfit is so cute that it might just melt your heart.
Your little snowman will be extra cozy in this little Christmas zip-up. Imagine having your child surrounded by (fake) snow on a holiday card wearing this?! All you need is to throw it on, throw down some cotton batting, and boom! Photo opportunity.
15Best Universal Set
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 the fall and early spring as well. It’s really warm and soft — plus, it washes like a dream. It’s truly a versatile set and a baby Christmas outfit you can’t go wrong with.

16Prep-School Cool
This set is giving out real prep-school baby vibes. But even if you’re not planning on sending your child to a pricey preschool, this set is soft, super washable, and completely adorable. Just check out the little deer knees and bow tie.
Best of all, it’s in layers, so you can mix and match it with other items in your baby’s wardrobe to really make the most of them.
17Rudolph's Best Helper
Rudolph, who is arguably the most important reindeer in Santa's troop, is featured on the front of this adorable one-piece. Much like Rudolph's bright red nose, your babe will brighten up any party with this number on.
The knit of the romper is smooth and soft, and while it is buttoned, we think that they actually add to the aesthetic appeal, even if limiting the convenience.
18Christmas Sweater Chic
You’ll just want to snuggle with your baby when they’re wearing this soft, cozy Christmas sweater onesie. Bring your little one to Grandma’s house wearing this, and his cheeks will be red (from all of the loving pinches) by the time you head back home.
Tiny reindeer dance across the top of this sweater suit that, thankfully, buttons along the legs and neck for easy changes. The classic pattern feels vintage, but the ease of cleaning tells you it’s quite modern.

19Ruffled Romper Sweetness
Does this come in an adult size? This knitted fleece romper is a fashion-forward Christmas outfit that your little one will be comfy in all day long. It's only three buttons to allow for easy diaper changes, which is perfect.
I love the idea of pairing this with particularly fun tights, perhaps in a contrasting color or a fun pattern.
20Baby Santa
Commemorate your babe's first Christmas with this festive red-footed onesie. Complete with Santa's cheerful face on the front, your babe will be suited and booted for their first holiday.
Plus, the hat is included — which just makes the whole thing come together even more perfectly. It's easy, fun, and best of all, it's totally machine-washable.
