Nothing symbolises the arrival of Christmas more than the roll-out of the annual matching family pjs. With social media now overflowing with images of families wearing matching festive pyjamas – complete with matching cheesy smiles by the tree – the matching Christmas pjs have become increasingly popular in recent years.
Indeed, ‘viral pjs’ are now a thing in 2024 (just scroll TikTok), and I’m not ashamed to admit that I’ve been very much pulled into the pyjama hysteria, particularly when it comes to cosy Christmas pjs.
To save you time, therefore, in trawling the internet for the best matching family pjs for Christmas, I’ve done the hard work for you. Far from a slog, I’ve spent an indulgent afternoon researching the best high street pyjamas for Christmas and it’s been quite wonderful.
Below, is the best of my finds, which I’ll continue adding to as we creep closer to Christmas.
Best Matching Family Pjs for Christmas 2024
TU Clothing (Sainsbury’s) Christmas Pyjamas
1. Matching Family Kids’ Christmas Cheese & Crackers Print Traditional Pyjamas (£10.00 children and £18.00 for adults)
Forget matching family Christmas pyjamas covered in cartoon characters and opt for these more refined cheese and crackers print pjs instead. I really like this design and can’t wait to put my 3-year old in these traditional button up pjs.
More than that, I can’t wait until she’s in bed and I can enjoy cheese, crackers and wine with reruns of the Vicar of Dibley over the festive period.
2. Matching Family Kids’ Christmas Red Tartan Traditional Pyjamas (£11.00 for children and £18.00 for adults)
If you’re looking for traditional style matching family pjs, then these are a brilliant option from TU clothing. Ideal for the annual family Christmas photo, these tartan pyjamas are a solid choice for you and your kids; as shown by the fact they are currently the number one best-seller in kids’ pyjamas at TU.
3. Matching Family Women’s Christmas Gingerbread Print Pyjamas (£13.00 for children and £18.00 for adults)
These cosy, comfy gingerbread pyjamas are perfect for lazy Christmas weekends at home. I nearly picked these up in-store, as they’re so soft and colourful – a definite hit for those with younger kids.
4. Matching Family Kids’ Christmas Penguin Print Pyjamas (£10.00 for children and £18.00 for adults)
These are the matching family Christmas pyjamas that I opted for and I have no regrets. Ridiculously cute, and equally comfy, my three-year old and I have already enjoyed a Sunday afternoon on the sofa with our matching set on.
5. Matching Family Women’s Christmas Illustration Printed Pyjamas (£20.00)
For those looking for matching pjs for just you and your partner, these pjs are my absolute favourite. So much so, I may have to pick up a pair for me and my husband. Without all the bright colours and cartoons, these more understated Christmas pjs are a great choice.
Marks and Spencer’s Matching Family Christmas Pjs
1. Chelsea Peers Dog Print Pyjama Set (£38 for adults and £28 for children) (Also come in Lilac)
In my opinion, Chelsea Peers pyjamas reign supreme in the pyjama world, and so I was delighted to discover that M&S are currently stocking their Christmas range. These matching family Christmas inspired dog pyjamas are incredibly cute, it’s just a shame we’re more of a cat family.
2. Candy Striped Family Christmas Pyjama Set with Eye Mask (£25.00 for adults)
I love this festive take on matching family pyjamas and like the fact you could easily wear these all year round. 100% cotton, these are a lovely, high quality option for those who want to avoid hot fleecy pjs over the winter period.
3. Checked Family Christmas Pyjama Set (£30 for adults and
Another great traditional option, the M&S checked family pyjama set makes for a great early Christmas present for a young family.
4. Animal Party Family Christmas Pyjama Set (£22 for adults and £ for children)
I love this quirkier take on a matching family Christmas pyjama set from M&S. Safari animals, complete with woolly scarves and Christmas jumpers, this set is a fun option for those looking for something a little different for the family photo by the Christmas tree.
5. Spencer Bear™ Family Christmas Pyjama Set (£25.00 for women, £28 for men).
For lovers of the M&S Spencer Bear, these matching pjs are for you (available in women and men’s style). They look particularly comfy and would be ideal for a night in with your partner, with a hot chocolate and Home Alone on the TV.
Next Christmas Pyjamas

For those looking for understated matching family pyjamas for Christmas, this set from Next is ideal. You can even buy the design in a baby grow, for those families with a little baby in tow this year. I like the muted design on these and feel like you could wear them over and over, without getting sick of the bright colours or design.
2. Red Matching Family Christmas Reindeer Pyjamas (£16 for adults).
Looking for a reindeer print for your matching family Christmas pj sets? Put this Next set into your basket. Obviously, my favourite thing about this style is that you can even get the matching Christmas coat for the dog – the full family look is complete.
George at ASDA
1. Christmas Cream Jingle Reindeer Matching Family Nightwear (from £9 – £14)

2. Christmas Green Guinea Pig Matching Family Nightwear (prices range from £7 – £14)
I am so impressed by George at ASDA’s family pyjama offerings for Christmas this year. This is another lovely range, at a great price – and I love the guinea pigs and the fact they also come in a traditional festive green. These pyjamas also range from 0-3 months right through to adulthood.
