Matching Family Christmas Outfits: 18 Best Places to Shop (2026)

Today we’re talking all about the best places to find matching family Christmas outfits, from coordinating sibling sets for the kids to pieces that let Mom and Dad join in. After almost a decade of dressing four kids for Christmas Sunday, family pictures and every holiday party in between, these are the stores I keep going back to. This post is not sponsored and contains affiliate links.

Our family has done matching Christmas pajamas since our first was a baby but today we’re talking about actual outfits. The pieces you wear to holiday parties, to Grandma’s, Christmas Sunday, and in the photo that ends up on the fridge for the next eleven months.

Two tips before you start: order online and order early. It’s almost impossible to find every size you need in one store when you’re shopping for multiple kids, and the classic plaids sell out first. By early December, the sizes left are usually the very smallest and the very largest.

Best Places for Matching Christmas Outfits for Kids and Siblings

These are the stores I have ordered from for years and have recommended countless of times. Under a few of them you’ll find a board of this year’s holiday pieces so you can see how a family look comes together.

4 siblings in matching red plaid christmas outfits from Little English

1. Little English

Our favorite for classic sibling sets (infant to kids 14)

If you’re looking for classic Christmas looks that appear straight out of a southern holiday scene, your first stop should be Little English. They design coordinated collections in infant sizes up to kids size 14, which means a baby and a big brother can wear the same plaid (I love that its the same fabric but in pieces that are appropriate for each age).

Don’t forget to finish your look with their bows, socks and sweaters. Our kids are obsessed with their cashmere blend cardigans. I think this photo from a few years ago in Little English might be my favorite matching Christmas moment we’ve had ever.

2. Ivy City Co

Best for mommy and me

Ivy City is known for beautiful, quality dresses that usually come with a mommy and me option. Around the holidays they often add limited pieces for boys, too.

A few Christmases ago, my daughter, our baby and I all wore their green plaid dresses. The fabric is a thick plaid that is truly gorgeous, and it photographed even better than it looked in person. They usually launch one or two Father/son matching option, too but we haven’t ordered their boys pieces before.

3. Noralee

Best for family photos

We’re obsessed with Noralee’s dresses. These are beautifully made pieces that are stunning for any event, and I particularly love them for anything that needs to be photographed (family pictures, weddings, baptisms, holidays, birthdays).

They have some matching sibling options, and each seasonal collection is so well put together that almost anything within it coordinates. You’ll get a cohesive family look without everyone being in the exact same print, which is my favorite way to do it.

4. Rylee + Cru

Best for a softer, vintage-inspired look (15% off with my link)

Rylee + Cru is known for muted, vintage-inspired prints, and their holiday collection is a good fit if you want something a little less traditional than red plaid. I have a few pieces on the way for a full review, so I’ll update this section once our kids have worn them.

5. J.Crew and J.Crew Factory

Best for the whole family, including Dad

If you want an iconic Christmas plaid, J.Crew has you covered. They release an assortment of holiday tartans every year, and the upside is there’s usually a coordinating option for Mom and Dad. The downside is that kids’ sizes start at 2, so if you have a baby, you’re out of luck here.

J.Crew Factory carries a lot of the same look for less. One warning: the red tartan pieces at Factory were already sold out in most kids’ sizes by mid-October this year, so if you have your heart set on a specific print, buy it as soon as you see it. I’ll keep an eye out for a restock.

6. Janie and Jack

Best for dressy looks and boys’ suits

Looking for something a little more formal? Janie and Jack is one of our favorite brands for dressing up, and they always have a beautiful holiday selection. They have fantastic suit options for boys, we love their dresses for girls, and they carry newborn sizes, so the baby can match too.

7. Hanna Andersson

Best for comfortable, casual matching

If you want something as comfortable as it is cute, Hanna Andersson is the spot. Their matching outfits are perfect for family get-togethers and holiday outings where you don’t need to be as dressed up, and these are pieces your kids won’t want to take off.

Hanna makes some of our favorite play dresses and leggings, and their pajamas have survived multiple hand-me-downs from kid to kid. I go into the details in my Hanna Andersson review.

8. Gap

Best on a budget

Gap’s kids’ clothing has impressed me the last few years. Some seasons they even have a family matching page where one print runs across every department, so you can dress the baby, the kids and both parents without trying to match colors across stores. You can find great dresses for little girls, and we like their button-downs for our boys.

More Places for Matching Family Holiday Outfits

These are newer additions to my list, and the ones I’d look at if you want Mom and Dad in the picture too.

Quince

Best for matching holiday sweaters

My favorite low-effort way to coordinate is the same sweater in holiday colors for everyone. Quince makes that easy without spending a fortune: festive cashmere, Fair Isle and their cotton fisherman crew all come in holiday colors. I first ordered Quince cashmere sweaters as gifts and ended up stealing my husband’s more than once, and I share how they’ve held up in my Quince cashmere review. 5 years later we own A LOT of Quince.

(If you’re looking for holiday looks for Mom, that silk slip skirt below is stunning in the dark green or deep red and was my favorite holiday look last year)

Hope & Henry

Best for affordable full-family sets

Hope & Henry has a full matching family collection with pieces for women, men, girls, boys and babies, and most of it is organic cotton at prices well below the other dressy brands on this list. It’s one of the more affordable ways to get Dad into a coordinating shirt.

Boden

Best for mommy and me knits

Boden is a great option for mommy and me knits. Their women’s line and Mini Boden share prints, and this fall the matching is all argyle and jacquard cardigans. It’s on the pricier side for adults (around $99 to $220), while the kids’ sweaters are closer to $65. There isn’t a dad option, so this one works best for coordinating rather than matching the whole family.

Hill House

Best for mommy and me dresses

Hill House is best known for the Nap Dress, and their holiday prints and velvets are an easy way for Mom to coordinate with the girls. Check the kids’ section before you fall in love with a print, since girls’ sizes vary from style to style.

Jamie Kay

Best for babies and little kids

Jamie Kay makes baby and kids’ clothing only, so it won’t dress the parents, but it fills the gap that brands like J.Crew leave for babies and toddlers. Their soft prints and knits coordinate easily with an older sibling’s outfit.

Maisonette

Best for browsing many brands at once

If you’d rather browse a lot of brands in one place, Maisonette has a family matching holiday shop with sizes from baby to grown-up, including pieces from Hope & Henry, Petite Plume and Lila + Hayes. It’s a good place to start if you haven’t settled on a look yet.

Budget-Friendly Places for Matching Christmas Outfits

If you’re dressing a big family or your kids are growing out of everything by spring, these stores do the job without the price tag.

  • Carter’s: sibling Christmas sets with lots of baby and toddler sizes
  • Target: easy to grab holiday dresses and button-downs while you’re already shopping for everything else
  • The Children’s Place: a dedicated matching family holiday shop
  • Old Navy: affordable holiday basics for the whole family

Matching Christmas Outfits for Siblings: Brother and Sister Ideas

What works for us is picking one fabric and letting it show up differently on each kid: a plaid dress for the girls, a plaid button-down or bow tie for the boys, and the baby in whichever version fits best. Little English, J.Crew and Janie and Jack all make it easy to do that inside one collection.

If you can’t find the same print, match the colors instead. A green plaid dress next to a green sweater and khakis still reads as a set in photos. For older boys I find

Mommy and Me Christmas Outfits

If you only need to match one kid, start with Ivy City Co. Their dresses are designed in mom and daughter pairs, and that green plaid is still one of my favorite family photos. Hill House and Boden are other good options for mommy and me, with Boden being the easiest if you’d rather wear a sweater than a dress.

Tips for Planning Matching Family Christmas Outfits

  • Coordinate instead of copying. Pick two or three colors and let each person wear them differently. It looks more natural in photos and is far easier to shop.
  • Size up for kids if you’re ordering in October. A growth spurt between now and Christmas is real (ask me how I know).
  • Check return policies on final sale items. Holiday pieces are often marked final sale late in the season.
  • Plan the photo first. If these outfits are going in your Christmas card, my guide to what to wear for family pictures walks through colors, patterns and layering.

Conclusion: Where Would I Start This Year?

For a classic, dressy matching look, I’d start with Little English. For the whole family including Dad, J.Crew or Hope & Henry. And if the budget is tight, matching Quince sweaters or Gap gets you a cohesive photo without spending a fortune. Whatever you choose, order early. The plaid you love today will be gone in most sizes by Thanksgiving.
