Christmas pyjamas can become part of the moments children remember: opening a Christmas Eve box, choosing a festive story and racing to the tree in the morning. The best pair for your family is one your child feels comfortable wearing, with a fit and fabric that suit your plans.
If you are looking for children’s Christmas pajamas for a girl, Ellie Ellie’s cotton set is a festive option for Christmas Eve, family photos and relaxed Christmas mornings. Here is how to choose and make the most of a pair.
Start with comfort, fabric and fit
Before choosing a print, check the fabric, measurements and care instructions. Think about what your child already enjoys wearing to bed and the temperature of the room where she sleeps. For an Australian Christmas, choose with your own home and holiday destination in mind.
- Fabric: Look at the listed composition. Our girls’ Christmas pyjama set is made from 100% cotton.
- Fit: Compare your child’s measurements with the linked size guide and read the product’s fit notes. A favourite pair of pyjamas can be a useful reference.
- Care: Check the washing instructions before the first wear, especially if you want the set ready for photos on Christmas morning.
Our set is listed in sizes 1–6 and fits true to size. Check the product page for current size availability before planning matching outfits for sisters.
Make Christmas Eve feel special
A fresh pair of pyjamas is a simple addition to a Christmas Eve box. Pair them with a favourite book and a handwritten note, then let your child choose a story or film for the evening. The tradition does not need to be elaborate: getting changed together and taking one family photo can be enough.
If you are giving pyjamas as a gift, offer them on Christmas Eve so they can be worn that night and again while opening presents. Check the fit ahead of time where possible, so the surprise is ready to enjoy.
Plan relaxed Christmas morning photos
Lay out the pyjamas before bedtime and pick a simple spot near the tree for a photo. A tidy corner and natural window light can keep the focus on your child and the moment. Take a quick picture before opening gifts, then leave room for the unplanned smiles too.
For siblings, coordinating colours can work just as well as identical outfits. Choose clothing each child is happy wearing and check sizes separately. A shared festive colour is enough to bring a family photo together.
From pyjamas to Christmas Day outfits
Keep the morning easy with pyjamas for presents and breakfast, then have a separate outfit ready for lunch or a family gathering. Browse our girls’ Christmas dresses if you are planning a dressier look for later in the day.
Putting both outfits out the night before makes the change simpler and gives your child a chance to help choose what she will wear.
A quick checklist before ordering

Frequently asked questions
When should children wear Christmas pyjamas?
Christmas Eve and Christmas morning are popular occasions, but you can bring them out earlier for festive stories, movie nights or holiday sleepovers.
Do siblings need matching pyjamas for Christmas photos?
No. Similar colours or a shared festive theme can make a lovely family photo while allowing each child to wear a style they enjoy.
Are Christmas pyjamas a good Christmas Eve gift?
They can be a practical part of a Christmas Eve box because children can wear them straight away. Choose the size carefully and pair them with a simple family activity, such as reading a Christmas story.
