Matching Family Christmas Shirts: How to Plan, Size and Order the Whole Set
Share
Matching family Christmas shirts look effortless in the photo, but getting there takes a little planning: a design that works for Grandpa and the baby, the right size for a fast-growing seven-year-old, and an order placed early enough to arrive before the holiday. This guide covers design ideas that suit every age, how our family sets are sized from adult 5XL down to a 6-month bodysuit, how to order everyone in one cart, and the dates to keep in mind.
Ideas for Matching Family Christmas Shirts
The sets that photograph best share one look but give each person their own line. Every design below comes in adult, youth, toddler and baby sizes, so nobody is left out.
- Family roles: Claus Family Matching Christmas Shirts give everyone a title: Papa, Mama, Grandpa, Grandma, Big Bro, Big Sis, Lil Bro, Lil Sis and Baby Claus.
- A different charge for each person: North Pole Correctional Family Christmas Shirts put the whole family on the naughty list for offenses like Ate Santa's Cookies, Excessive Eggnog and Peeked at the Presents.
- Superlatives: Most Likely To Family Christmas Shirts offer 18 lines, from "Eat Santa's Cookies" for the kids to "Spoil the Grandkids" for the grandparents.
- Notes to Santa: Dear Santa Funny Family Christmas Shirts work well for siblings, with "Dear Santa, It Was My Brother" standing next to "Dear Santa, It Was My Sister."
- Ugly-sweater style without the itch: Ugly Christmas Sweater Family Sweatshirts, including a Naughty and Nice pair for couples or siblings.
Keep One Thing the Same
A set reads as matching when at least one element is shared: the same design family, the same shirt color, or both. Different lines within one design family look intentional in photos, and they give each person something to point at. If you want your family name, a photo or an inside joke instead, our guide to custom family Christmas shirts explains how to upload your own design.
Sizing for Adults, Kids and Baby
Each family tee set lists every size in one menu, so you can build the whole family from a single product page. Here's how the tee sets are sized and priced:
| Who | Sizes | Style | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adults | XS–5XL | Unisex tee | $25.99 (XS–XL), $27.99–$33.99 (2XL–5XL) |
| Youth | S–XL | Youth tee | $27.99 |
| Toddler | 2T–5T | Toddler tee, white or black | $26.99 |
| Baby | 6M–24M | Short-sleeve bodysuit | $27.99 |
Adults
Adult sizes are unisex and true to size, so most people can order the T-shirt size they already wear. For a relaxed, cozy fit, go up one size.
Kids
If a child is between sizes, order the larger one. A slightly roomy shirt looks fine in photos and has a better chance of fitting again next December. Kids who have outgrown youth XL can move into adult XS or S.
Babies
Baby sizes are short-sleeve bodysuits in 6M–24M, printed with the same design as the rest of the set. In a chilly house, add a plain long-sleeve layer underneath so the print stays visible.
Watch the Toddler Color
Toddler tees in the family sets come in white or black only, while adult, youth and baby sizes also come in red. If you want every person in the same color, choose black or white for the whole family. If you love red, put everyone else in red and the toddler in white; one contrasting shirt in the middle of a group photo looks deliberate.
Tees, Sweatshirts or Hoodies? Mixing Styles in One Set
Not everyone wants the same garment. Grandparents may prefer a sweatshirt, teenagers a hoodie and the youngest a tee. Keeping the design the same holds the set together.
- Tees suit indoor gatherings and warm houses, and they layer easily under an open flannel.
- Sweatshirts: Claus Family Matching Christmas Sweatshirts run adult S–5XL from $36.99, youth XS–XL at $31.99, toddler 2T–5/6T at $29.99 and baby bodysuits at $27.99. They come in red, black or navy (baby in red or black) and add Nana, Mimi and Gigi Claus for grandmothers.
- Hoodies: Claus Family Christmas Hoodies cover adult, youth and toddler sizes for outdoor traditions like tree farms and light displays.
- Pajama-style long sleeves: for Christmas morning, see our Christmas pajama shirts.

How to Order for the Whole Family in One Cart
- Make a quick list. For each person, write down the design line, size, color and garment. Share it in the family group chat so adults can confirm their own sizes.
- Add one person at a time. On the product page, choose the design, size and color and add it to the cart. Then change the options for the next person and add again.
- Check the cart against your list. Each line shows its design, size and color, so this is the moment to catch a Youth M that should have been an Adult M.
- Check out once. There's no minimum order, so two shirts or twenty both work.
Orders of $120 or more ship free. Two adults, two kids and a baby in tees comes to $135.95 (two adult tees at $25.99, two youth tees at $27.99 and one bodysuit at $27.99), which clears the threshold on its own.
Get Sizes Right the First Time
Every shirt is printed to order, so returns aren't accepted for size changes. Confirm sizes before you check out, especially for kids. If anything arrives misprinted or damaged, tell us within 7 days of delivery and we'll reprint it or refund it under our quality promise.
Ordering Deadlines for Christmas Delivery
Family shirts are printed to order and ship in 3–5 business days. Ground transit then takes 1–6 business days depending on where you live. We ship from the Northeast, so families in New York, New Jersey and New England sit at the short end of that range, and West Coast addresses at the long end.
- Order by December 10 for Christmas delivery in the contiguous US. West Coast, Mountain and Texas addresses should order by December 7.
- Need them sooner? For a December party or a trip to see relatives, count back up to 11 business days from the date you need the shirts in hand, then add a few days of buffer.
- Shooting a holiday card? Order in November, so the shirts arrive well before the photo and the card goes out on time.
