In need of Christmas gifts for her or a family Christmas gift? Or maybe it's time to self-gift? The best women's Christmas pyjamas 2023 are sure to raise a smile. These are the sets you'll want to invest in this winter.

A traditional pair of checked flannel pyjamas is one of the best pyjamas for women that you can turn to year after year for a classic festive feel. Whether you gift them to a friend or as a treat for yourself, you won't regret this cosy investment.

These are one of the cosiest pairs of women's Christmas pyjamas made from soft brushed cotton. In a simple but classic red and navy tartan, all you need is a pair of the best slippers. Just think about how perfect the photos in front of the tree will be in these. M&S have just launched a gorgeous personalised option, too. 

As much as we love checked pyjamas for a classic feel, nothing screams festive quite like Fair isle, especially in a red and white mix; you just can't help but feel ready for the season.

For the best women's Christmas pyjamas that are warm and cosy, this traditional fair isle pair will have you covered. Featuring a long-sleeved top and legging bottom with a ribbed cuff for ultimate comfort, they are precisely what we need for binge-watching the best Christmas movies on Netflix. The heart detail makes these a super sweet pyjama set to gift, too, so we're adding these to our basket before they sell out. 

Sleeper's feather trims are iconic, so if you're wondering what to wear on Christmas Day that will be equal measures of style and comfort, you can't go wrong with luxury pyjama brand, Sleeper. Finding these with 50% off feels like a reward for starting our Christmas shopping early. We can't quite believe this find. 

You can wear these beauties at home with a pair of stylish shearling lined slippers before wearing them with heels for a chic night out - great for a work Christmas party outfit idea. Loved by celebrities, including Kendall Jenner and Holly Willoughby, these party pyjamas are ideal if you want a break from your stylish Christmas party dresses. And at the end of the night, simply remove the detachable feathered trim, and you can roll straight into bed–genius.

Olivia Von Halle is the pyjama designer to rely on for premium styles that'll be the ultimate gift for yourself or a loved one. They may be a splurge, but considering how often we wear pyjamas, the cost-per-wear will end up being worth it. Plus, as they're made of 100% silk, they feel incredibly luxurious. In a directional green hue and a traditional pyjama silhouette, these classic pyjamas will be one of the best Christmas gifts for your wife this year.

We've lucked out starting early with the festive shopping once again because the light green pair is currently 40% off at Net-A-Porter. Yes, really. The gorgeous light brown option is also currently on sale for half the price at £260 and still available in the full-size range from XS-XL, so if you've had your eye on a pair for a while, now is the time to bag them before they are back to full price. 

At first glance, these appear to be a classic pair of starry women's Christmas pyjamas. Until you look a little closer to see they have had an upgrade, and the stars are actually made up of a leopard and zebra print pattern, giving a much-needed twist to traditional Christmas pyjamas for 2023. 

A stylish take on the classic pyjama set, the black and cream set is among the most affordable pairs we've found and one of our favourites. The long sleeve and smart collar make the set feel super chic, and if you're on the hunt for the best matching Christmas pyjamas for all your friends, this pair won't break the bank. 

The reason we love the festive period so much is for the good solid break it can provide, and for that, the best loungewear looks are essential. Wearable on the sofa and in bed, this Hush set ticks all our boxes, particularly for those in between Christmas and New Year days when being comfortable is at the top of our list. 

A sweater with jogger-style bottoms, this Christmas pyjama set is the epitome of comfort and a set you can wear for a quick dash to the shops or endless Netflix watching. The navy and gold stars are giving us all the festival feels in a chic and understated way, which means we will definitely be wearing them all the way into the new year, too. 

Comfort and ultimate cosiness are essential when you're expecting, especially in the lead-up to Christmas. This maternity set offers precisely that. Made from super soft and breathable cotton, the long sleeve and slim fit bottoms provide a comfort perfect for watching Netflix and feeling festive. 

Featuring a festive reindeer right on the bump, these will be a great gift for expecting mothers. The brand has an incredibly festive matching Christmas jumper, too. 

These may not initially scream festive season, but Desmond & Dempsey make some of the most Instagram-worthy pyjamas around, and these adorable monkey-print pair are no exception. With buttoned cuffs, tonal piping and adorable button fastenings, just add a fluffy robe and you're guaranteed to be the best dressed person on Christmas morning, and that's all that matters. 

If there is a bit of scrouge in you, then these are the anti-Christmas pyjamas you have been searching for and make the ultimate Christmas gift for a pair of pyjamas that you'll wear all year round, so they are worth the splurge. Because Christmas is a time to treat yourself. 

When searching for women's Christmas pyjamas, you can't go wrong with a bright red. This Nobody's Child set is dreamy, with super cute contrasting trims. The button-up front and collar give elegance while offering comfort with an elasticated waist. 

Although they look and feel super silky, they are actually made from sustainable LENZING™ ECOVERO™ Viscose and one of our favourite sustainable fashion brands. The deep red hue is already getting us excited for Santa-filled days while we lounge with mince pies, looking totally chic in all red.

If you want to gift the best women's Christmas pyjamas this year, you can't go wrong with Joanie Clothing. They have something for everyone, but this chic pair is perfect for the astrology lover in your life (and as a gift to yourself). 

In the weeks leading up to Christmas and the big day itself, comfort is critical, and equally as important is being photo-ready at any moment. This set is all you need: a chic shirt with a front pocket and classic piping paired with matching trousers with an elasticated waistband. We're obsessed with this set. You'll want to wear these all year round, made from 100% organic cotton and featuring a stunning print with every star sign.
