Every December, so many moms buy matching Christmas pajamas for the whole house and skip themselves. The kids get sorted first, the budget gets tight, and mom ends up in an old T-shirt in every Christmas morning photo.
Those are the pictures your daughter will pull out years from now, and the best ones have the two of you in the same print. At Tuck & Char Co., our women's button-up short sets and girls button-down short sets come in the same six hand-drawn coastal prints, so mommy and me Christmas pajamas take a single order instead of a scramble.
What Mommy and Me Christmas Pajamas Look Like at Tuck & Char Co.
Our mommy and me Christmas pajamas are really two sets made to go together. Mom wears the women's button-up short pajama set, and her daughter wears the girls button-down short pajama set in the same print.
Both tops are classic button-front styles, so the two of you really do look like a pair. That shared shape is what makes the photo read as mother and daughter instead of two people who happen to like the same colors.
Both sets are cut from our CoastWeave™ bamboo, the same buttery-soft, breathable fabric used across the whole holiday collection. The women's shorts have an extra-roomy waistband with an adjustable drawstring, made to sit loose at the waist for Christmas morning on the couch.
The girls set is designed to fit snugly, which is how kids' sleepwear is meant to fit. Our women's set runs XS through XXL, and the girls set runs from 2T all the way to size 16, so a mom and a daughter of almost any age can match.
Mother Daughter Christmas Pajamas in Six Coastal Prints
Every print in our holiday collection comes in both the women's and girls styles. That means the two of you can pick any of the six prints without worrying that a size or style is missing.
-
Jolly Waves, our red holiday print with surfing snowmen and lifeguard Santa.
-
Merry Reef, the green print with Santa hat whale sharks and surfing gingerbread men.
-
Pink Beach Huts and Blue Beach Huts, two colorways of the same beach hut design.
-
Green Coastal Postcards and Pink Coastal Postcards, two colorways of the postcard design.
Picking the print together is half the fun. Let her look at all six, point at her favorite, and talk you into it.
If you can't agree, our guide to choosing a coastal Christmas print walks through every pattern. Often her pick ends up being your favorite print by December, too.
Matching Christmas Pajamas for Mom and a Baby Girl
Mommy and me works with a baby, too. Our baby zippy pajamas come in all six prints, so a newborn or a crawling baby can wear the exact same pattern as mom.
That first Christmas photo of the two of you in matching prints tends to become a favorite. It is also the start of a tradition you can repeat every year as she grows into the girls set.
If there is a big sister in the picture, she can wear the girls button-down short set in the same print. Three girls in one pattern, from the baby up, makes for a sweet lineup on the porch steps.
Taking the Mommy and Me Christmas Photo
The best mommy and me Christmas photos are usually the least posed. Take a few before the presents come out, while hair is still messy and nobody has wrapping paper stuck to their socks.
Morning light by a window or out on the porch is all you need. Sit close, let her climb into your lap, and have someone take plenty of shots.
Little kids don't hold still for long, so skip the perfect smile. Ask her to whisper a secret in your ear, or to show the camera her favorite part of the print, and take the picture while she's doing it.
If dad or a grandparent is behind the camera, ask them to get one wide shot of the room, too. Years from now, the tree, the mess, and the two of you in the same print are what make it feel like your Christmas.
Starting a Mommy and Me Christmas Tradition
The pajamas are the easy part. What your daughter will remember is the little ritual the two of you build around them.
A few traditions moms love:
-
Pick the print together when the holiday collection opens in the fall.
-
Wear them the same night every year, such as Christmas Eve or the first cold night of December.
-
Take the same photo in the same spot, so you can line them up and watch her grow.
That last idea is our favorite. Same porch, same pose, same print family, and a new height on the wall every year.
Ordering Mommy and Me Christmas Pajamas Together
Order both sets at the same time. Our holiday pajamas are made in small batches on pre-order, and the women's and girls sets ship together when the order is ready, with pre-orders expected to ship mid to late November.
For fit, both sets run true to size. If mom is between sizes, size up for a more relaxed fit, and if your daughter is between sizes, size up while keeping the snug fit her sleepwear is designed for.
You can shop the women's holiday short sets and the girls holiday button-up sets side by side. Pick the print, add both sizes to the cart, and the hardest part of the mommy and me plan is done.
The Photo She'll Keep
Kids grow out of pajamas fast, and she will outgrow these too. What stays is the picture of the two of you on Christmas morning, sleepy and messy-haired, in the same coastal print.
Someday she will be the mom picking out the matching sets. It's a sweet thing to give her a tradition worth copying.
