We’ve always been a fan of a pyjama party and, while we’re not a fan of Christmas carols outside of December, we condone a sneaky transition to festive PJs. Let’s be honest, the Christmas pyjama season in Aotearoa New Zealand begins at Midwinter Christmas anyway.
So, in case you dust off your sleigh-worthy sleepwear only to realise it’s looking a little less merry than it once did, we’ve rounded up the best themed Christmas PJs—from matching sets and lowkey salutes to unabashedly themed attire. Think of it as an early Xmas present. Here are the best pyjamas to rock around the Christmas tree this December.
