Baby's First Christmas Outfit Ideas 2026 (UK)
A first Christmas only happens once, and the photo from Christmas morning is the one that ends up on every fridge and phone in the family. Here are the outfit ideas that work best for 2026, from matching sets to personalised baby grows, all printed in our UK workshop.
1. Match the baby to a grown-up
The most popular first Christmas outfit is not just for the baby. A matching set puts the same joke on a grown-up tee and a baby grow, so Mum or Dad is in the photo too. Our Daddy's First Christmas and Baby's First Christmas set and the Mummy's First Christmas version both come with a baby grow from 0-3 months up to 12-18 months, or a kids tee for older siblings.
2. Put their name on it
For a keepsake, add the baby's name and the year. Our personalised first Christmas baby grow builds live as you type, so you see exactly what we will print, and it comes as a baby grow, kids tee or jumper. Prefer something cheekier? Baby Claus matches a Daddy Claus or Mummy Claus top.
3. Make it funny
If your family photos tend towards the daft, try Big Sprout and Little Sprout, Big Pig and Little Pig in Blanket or Head Elf and Elf in Training. They are bright, easy to read in a photo and they get a laugh from the grandparents.
Sizing tips for a first Christmas
- Size up if your baby is near the top of a range: Christmas Day involves a lot of food.
- Order by 15 December for UK delivery before Christmas. Everything is made to order and usually with you in 4 to 5 working days.
- Wash inside out at 30 degrees to keep the print bright for next year's photo comparison.
