The Best Matching Family Christmas Pajamas & Holiday Pajamas for 2026
From matching family Christmas pajamas to classic flannels and a few luxurious favorites,
we're sharing the holiday pajamas we love and a Christmas tradition that's been part of our family for years.
Matching Christmas pajamas have been a tradition in our house since the boys were little, and all these years later, we're still doing it. Every Christmas, the four of us get into our matching pajamas, take our annual family photo, and settle in for all the things we love about the holidays. It's one of those little traditions that has stuck, and we wouldn't have it any other way.
Of course, over the years we've accumulated quite the collection. The boys keep growing, which means buying new sizes every year, while we're still fitting into pajamas we bought years ago! We have sets we've worn for multiple Christmases, others that get pulled out throughout December, and a growing collection of pajamas that are far too comfortable to reserve for just one season.
We've found some really good brands along the way, including a few we've been buying for years. And while matching family Christmas pajamas will always be the main event, we've also become rather particular about what makes a good pair of pajamas in general. Comfort is obviously important, but we also love a classic plaid, a good button-down set, and something that doesn't immediately need to go back into storage come January.
So, we've rounded up some of our favorite matching family Christmas pajamas, men's holiday pajamas, and cozy sleepwear for 2026. Some are perfect for getting the entire family into the same print, while others are simply great pajamas for the colder months or a thoughtful Christmas gift.
Matching Family Christmas Pajamas
If you're thinking about starting your own family Christmas pajama tradition, or adding to an already impressive collection like ours, these are some of the brands we'd look at first. From traditional Christmas plaids to softer, more relaxed styles, there are plenty of options for getting the whole family involved.
Hanna Andersson
Hanna Andersson was one of the first brands we discovered when we started buying matching family Christmas pajamas, so it will always have a special place in our collection. We've loved their festive prints over the years, and they make it easy to find matching styles for the entire family. Their HannaSoft pajamas are particularly comfortable, especially if you prefer something soft and stretchy rather than traditional flannel.
It's also one of those brands that reminds us just how long we've been doing this. The boys have gone through quite a few sizes since those early Christmases, but Hanna Andersson is still one of the first places we look when the holiday collections come out.
Petite Plume
We love the traditional look of Petite Plume, particularly their tartan and plaid designs. There's something about a classic button-down pajama set that feels very Christmas morning, especially when everyone is wearing the same print. They offer matching family options, so you can coordinate without sacrificing that more polished, timeless look.
These are also the sort of pajamas we'd happily wear long after Christmas. The classic designs don't feel overly seasonal, which is always a plus when you're investing in a good set.
Old Navy
Old Navy is always worth checking out for matching family Christmas pajamas, especially if you're looking for fun holiday prints at a more accessible price point. They have plenty of coordinating options for adults and kids, from traditional plaids to more playful Christmas designs.
And this year, we've decided our new matching family pajamas will be from Old Navy! We haven't revealed which ones we're going with just yet, so stay tuned. Given how many prints they have to choose from, narrowing it down to one might be the hardest part.
Lands' End
Lands' End is another name we always associate with traditional holiday sleepwear. Their classic flannel pajamas have that cozy, slightly nostalgic Christmas feel, and the brand has offered matching family collections over the years. We particularly like the green plaid set we've included here.
They're the kind of pajamas that feel right at home on a cold Christmas morning but are just as useful throughout winter. And with the amount of time we spend in pajamas between
Christmas and New Year's, having a few comfortable flannel options is never a bad idea.
Gap
Gap is another great option for matching family Christmas pajamas, and we like their classic plaid designs. Their matching holiday collections have options for the whole family, so you can coordinate everyone's pajamas without going too overboard on the Christmas prints. The Softest Flannel sets are a great example, with traditional patterns that feel festive but still work throughout winter.
We also like that Gap keeps things fairly simple. You can go with matching sets for everyone or mix and match different pieces in the same print. And in our house, where the boys seem to need a new size every Christmas, it's always nice having another place to shop for the whole family.
Vineyard Vines
Vineyard Vines is another brand worth checking out for coordinated family Christmas pajamas. We love their classic, preppy style, and the plaid flannel set we've included has that traditional holiday look without feeling too Christmassy. Their coordinating pajama options make it easy to get everyone looking festive while still keeping things fairly understated.
And that's something we particularly like about matching family pajamas. They don't always have to be identical from head to toe. Sometimes coordinating colors and patterns work just as well, especially when you're trying to keep everyone happy with what they're wearing!
Holiday Lane at Macy's
If you want a really traditional Christmas look, Holiday Lane at Macy's has some great matching family options. Their Merry Plaid design is exactly the sort of festive plaid that looks good in Christmas morning photos, and the collection includes coordinating styles for adults and children.
We also like that you can keep things relatively simple with this one. Everyone wears the same plaid, you get your family photo, and then it's straight back to enjoying Christmas morning. Which, after all, is the point!
Our Favorite Men's Christmas Pajamas & Winter Sleepwear
Of course, not every pair of pajamas needs to match the entire family. We have plenty of favorites that we wear throughout the year, and some of these would make really good Christmas gifts too. From traditional flannel to softer lounge sets, these are a few brands worth looking at.
Tommy John
We love how Tommy John feels. It's one of those brands that really gets comfort right, whether it's underwear, loungewear, or pajamas. In fact, one of the boys borrowed one of our Tommy John lounge T-shirts and has yet to give it back. At this point, we think we can safely assume it's his now!
We've included their All Day Flannel pajama set in this roundup, which has a classic button-down look without feeling overly formal. It's a great option if you want something comfortable enough to lounge around in all morning, because let's face it, that's exactly what happens during the holidays.
Lunya
Lunya is a brand we wear year-round, not just during the holidays. Their sleepwear has a more elevated feel, and we love that it's something you can wear at home without necessarily feeling like you're wearing traditional pajamas. They're also a nice change from the usual cotton and flannel sets.
The washable silk striped jacquard set we've included here is particularly nice if you're looking for something a little more luxurious. It's also a great gift idea for someone who appreciates quality sleepwear but might not think to treat themselves to a silk pajama set.
Brooks Brothers
Brooks Brothers does traditional menswear particularly well, and their cotton flannel tartan pajamas fit right into that category. The plaid design is classic, with a slightly more polished look than some of the casual lounge sets out there.
We particularly like this style for gifting. There's something about receiving a proper pajama set for Christmas that feels a little special, especially when it's one that you'll continue wearing for years.
J.Crew
J.Crew is another brand that does classic men's style really well, and their striped cotton poplin pajama set is a nice alternative to all the flannel and tartan. We love the red-and-white stripes, which feel festive enough for Christmas without being an obvious holiday print.
And living in Texas, we definitely appreciate having a few lighter-weight options. As much as we love the idea of a freezing Christmas morning, the weather here doesn't always cooperate.
L.L.Bean
If you love traditional flannel pajamas, L.L.Bean is another brand worth considering. Their Scotch Plaid design has that classic winter look, and the blue-and-red plaid we've chosen is a nice change from the usual green and red Christmas patterns.
These are the kind of pajamas we'd picture wearing on a cold morning with a cup of coffee, ideally with absolutely nowhere to be. Which is pretty much our idea of a perfect morning between Christmas and New Year's.
SKIMS
For something a little different, we've included the men's sleep set from SKIMS. The red-and-black plaid gives it a festive feel, but the overall look is more relaxed and modern than a traditional button-down pajama set.
We like having a mix of styles in this roundup because not everyone wants the same thing from their sleepwear. Some prefer a classic flannel set, while others want something a little more casual for lounging around the house.
Hanes
Hanes is a good option if you're looking for classic flannel pajamas without spending too much. The green plaid set we've included has a traditional Christmas feel, and we like that it's something you can easily continue wearing throughout the winter.
Not every pair of holiday pajamas needs to be an investment piece, particularly if you're buying for several people or just want another comfortable set to add to the rotation.
Fabletics
And finally, something a little different! The Go-To Fleece Hooded Onesie from Fabletics is definitely a departure from the traditional button-down pajama sets throughout this list, but it looks like the sort of thing you'd never want to take off once you put it on.
We love the idea of a cozy onesie for those days when you're doing absolutely nothing, particularly during that wonderful stretch between Christmas and New Year's when nobody seems to know what day it is anyway.
A Christmas Tradition We're Keeping
The funny thing about our matching Christmas pajamas is that something so simple has become one of those traditions we really look forward to every year. We have photos of the boys wearing them when they were tiny, and now we're buying pajamas for two boys who seem to grow another inch every time we turn around. Meanwhile, we're still pulling out some of the same sets we've been wearing for years.
We know there will probably come a Christmas when the boys decide matching pajamas with their dads aren't quite as appealing as they once were. But until that happens, we'll keep buying them, taking our annual photo, and adding to what has become a rather impressive collection. And who knows, perhaps one day they'll be the ones insisting we all match!
In the meantime, we've linked our favorite matching family Christmas pajamas, men's holiday pajama sets, and cozy winter sleepwear below. Whether you're starting your own family tradition, adding another set to the collection, or looking for a Christmas gift, we hope you find something you love. And stay tuned to see which Old Navy pajamas make the cut for our family this Christmas!
