Wearing matching Christmas pyjamas has become a fun, festive tradition we just can't resist. You can't help but get into the Christmas spirit when the whole family is in matching tartan or fairisle. So it's no wonder Christmas pyjama family sets are more popular than ever and can create special memories for all involved. 

Whether you are searching for matching Christmas pyjamas for a pre-Christmas brunch with your pals or the best Christmas pyjamas family set for super cute photos, there are heaps of matching Christmas pyjama designs on offer. It might feel a little early to start your Christmas shopping, but the benefit of getting ahead, isn't only beating the rush, but there are a number of sets available at discounted prices, ahead of the busy festive shopping season. Of course, as we head more into the season, we'll keep searching for the best matching Christmas pyjamas from September through Black Friday until the special day to keep you updated with the latest styles.

When looking for Christmas pyjama sets for a family, think about shopping early, as their increased popularity means that designs are expected to sell out fast, and a few of our favourites are already selling out in some sizes. The best pyjama brands have taken it up a festive notch this year to help get us all in the spirit. Even Scrooge-like characters will love the chic yet jolly sets. While many people opt to save their matching Christmas pyjamas for Christmas Eve, you can, as with the best Christmas jumpers, start rocking them well before the big event, too, to get into the festive feel.

Very Christmassy, hard to re-wear through the year

One of the best matching Christmas pyjama family sets for 2023, Clark & Beau's Christmas edit is filled with red and green festive tones with other dark red velour options for a luxurious and festive feel. A sophisticated option for adults that remains a super sweet option for children too. There are several styles to choose from across adult and children categories with a number of coordinating pieces, including some of the best robes and cute hairbows. 

Tartan screams festive season, and we love the subtle frill trim on the sleeve, giving a nod to the period. The best part is the complimentary embroidery making it a wonderful gift for the whole family to enhance a special time of year.

Many of the children's sizes already sold out 

Another reason to invest in the best matching Christmas pyjamas is for all those festive photo ops, and we're already thinking ahead to our Christmas Eve pyjama snaps, with these super sweet pjs. The printed pyjamas have four options featuring Mr and Mrs Claus and a Mini and Master Claus option too, so the whole family can join in with the festive fun. 

Available in red and white tartan for women, red and green for men and matching options for the children, these make the perfect Christmas pyjamas family set for a light level of matching without feeling too over the top. Unfortunately, these are so popular there aren't many sizes left available for children so it might only work as matching Christmas pyjamas for couples, although we imagine as we head further into the season, they'll hopefully get a good restock of sizes.
