Christmas jumpers, pyjamas and festive clothing

Christmas jumpers and festive clothing

The jumpers below are knitted, printed or light-up, for women and men, with some children’s sweatshirts and unisex styles. Pyjamas, socks, Santa hats and party dresses have their own pages, linked in the guide underneath. Prices run from under £7 to just under £40. Check the size chart on each listing before ordering, because sizing differs from one seller to the next.

Choosing a Christmas jumper

A Christmas jumper comes in three styles, and each one has its own page on this site.

Style	What you get	Where to look
Knitted, fair isle or cable	Pattern knitted into the yarn, in crew neck, mock neck and quarter-zip cuts	Women’s Christmas jumpers and men’s Christmas jumpers
Novelty, printed or light-up	Printed sweatshirts, sequins, pom-poms and LED bulbs, in reindeer, wrapping-paper and pub-joke designs	Funny and novelty Christmas jumpers
Matching sets	The same print in baby, children’s and adult sizes, with couple sets	Family matching Christmas pyjamas

Pick by occasion

Christmas Jumper Day at school or work: a novelty or printed jumper, with a design that suits the room.
Family dinner and the photo: a knitted fair isle, cable or plain-colour jumper.
A party or Secret Santa evening: a light-up, sequin or pom-pom style.
Wearing it through December: a plain knit or sweatshirt, which has no battery pack to remove before washing.

How knitted, printed and light-up jumpers differ

A knitted jumper is limited to patterns that can be knitted into the yarn: fair isle bands, reindeer, snowflakes, trees. A printed sweatshirt can carry a full picture or a line of text.

Light-up jumpers carry LED bulbs and a power source, normally a battery pack, so check the listing for the battery type and whether the pack comes out before you wash it. Sequin and pom-pom trims need the same attention. Read the care label before the first wash, whatever the style.

Christmas clothing beyond the jumper

Pyjamas

Christmas pyjamas are sold for one wearer at a time, in adult and children’s sizes. Our guide to choosing matching family pyjamas covers sizing and how to order for a whole household.

Socks and hats

Christmas socks come as single pairs, packs of 6 or 12 and 24-pair advent calendars, and they double as stocking fillers. Santa hats and Christmas hats include velvet-style Santa hats in adult and children’s sizes, baby knits, antlers and light-up headbands.

Party dresses

The Christmas party dresses page is small: a handful of Christmas-themed dresses and fancy-dress costumes, with no evening-wear range. It suits a themed party better than a formal one.

Buying Christmas jumpers online: sizes, prices and care

Sizes

Women’s listings give UK sizes: some stop at 18, others run to 24 or 26. Men’s and unisex jumpers use S to XXL, and some ranges start at M or stretch to 3XL. Sellers do not all cut to the same chart, so lay a jumper you already wear flat, measure it across the chest and compare that figure with the chart on the listing.

Children and gifts

Children’s Christmas sweatshirts are listed for boys and girls and sit at the bottom of the price range. Choose by the height and chest measurements on the chart rather than by guessing from age. If you do not know the size of a gift, socks and hats avoid the problem.

Prices by type

Price changes with the type of garment. Amazon prices move, so treat these rounded figures as a guide, not a quote.

Type	Lowest to highest	Middle price
Women’s jumpers	£10 to £30	£20
Men’s jumpers	£15 to £40	£20
Funny and novelty jumpers	£14 to £49	£20
Family matching pyjamas	£6 to £22	£14
Christmas pyjamas	£9 to £24	£13
Christmas socks	£3 to £40	£8
Santa hats and Christmas hats	£3 to £22	£10
Party dresses and costumes	£10 to £40	£28

Average ratings sit between 4.2 and 4.6 stars on every one of these pages, so a review that mentions size or washing tells you more than the star count.

Washing and storing

Follow the care label: if it asks for a cool or hand wash, do that, and turn sequin and pom-pom pieces inside out. After the season, fold knitted jumpers flat instead of hanging them, so the shoulders keep their shape.

When to wear a Christmas jumper

Christmas Jumper Day

There is no rule on when to start, and December is the usual month. Christmas Jumper Day is Save the Children’s fundraiser and its date changes every year: our Christmas Jumper Day 2026 guide has the date and what it raises money for.

Timing your order

Compare the delivery date on the listing with the day you need the jumper, whether that is the office party, a school day or Christmas Eve. To weigh knitted, light-up and funny styles side by side first, read our best Christmas jumpers guide.

Frequently asked questions: Christmas Clothing

When can you start wearing a Christmas jumper?

There is no rule. December is the usual month, and Christmas Jumper Day, which changes date every year, is the day schools and offices tend to join in. For a jumper you will wear many times, a plain knit or sweatshirt is simpler than a light-up one with a battery pack.

What day is Christmas Jumper Day?

Save the Children runs Christmas Jumper Day in December, and the date moves from year to year. Our guide to Christmas Jumper Day 2026 gives this year’s date and says what it raises money for.

What do Americans call Christmas jumpers?

Americans say Christmas sweaters, and the novelty kind are ugly Christmas sweaters. Some sellers on Amazon.co.uk use sweater or pullover in their titles as well, so those are useful words if you search yourself.

What is the best Christmas jumper?

It depends on where you will wear it. A knitted fair isle or cable jumper works at a family dinner, and a printed or light-up one is the better pick for Christmas Jumper Day or a party. Compare the size range, the material line and the reviews that mention fit before you compare prices.

Are there Christmas jumpers for children and for the whole family?

Yes. Children’s sweatshirts for boys and girls are on this page at the lowest prices, and unisex jumpers cover adult sizes. For identical outfits, family matching pyjamas come in baby, children’s and adult sizes.
