The Best Christmas Outfits For Babies And Toddlers

Because who doesn't want to dress their little one up as a tiny version of Father Christmas?

Babies and toddlers are like small, drunk Santas after too much sherry on Christmas Eve - they sway and lurch, take faltering steps, babble nonsense and laugh (or cry) hysterically. 

Well, now you can make that comparison even more striking with our pick of the best festive outfits for babies and toddlers. 

From ridiculously cute reindeer, to hilarious icing-topped puddings, it’s always a great idea to put your child in a silly outfit for Christmas (and then take photos: lots of them). 

Here are our favourites.

Baby GOTS Organic Cotton Christmas Pudding Romper and Hat Set

You can’t say no to a baby dressed as a pudding - and this one is the full set, with pop-pom hat, green leaf and bright red tights to match. It’s made of GOTS organic cotton and has popper fastenings along the crotch and at the neck to make it easy to get on and off a wriggly baby. Cuter than Christmas itself.

Santa Hat & Mitts

It’s not an entire outfit, but we think this is the perfect addition to anything your child wears throughout December - a two-piece Santa hat with matching red mitts. Made with 100% cotton, and perfect for the cold snap. It’s even got a pom-pom.

Red Reindeer Sleepsuit

This adorable sleepsuit - complete with candy cane stripes, a reindeer face and a big red nose, will be a show-stopper this Christmas. There are fold-down scratch mitts in the sizes available for younger babies, and the suit opens at the back - but it still has leg poppers to allow for easy changing. Reindeer-tastic.
