These classic flannel PJs from Old Navy combine a button-up long sleeve top with elastic waist drawstring pants that allow you to size up for a bit of extra comfort. As always, Old Navy offers a wide range of sizes—from XS to 4X—in regular, petite, and tall versions. If you’re not big on flannel, there are other fun options, as well as more whimsical prints like stockings, candy canes, and Santa (in two different colorways).

Outfitting everyone in your family can add up quickly, but these plush onesies—or union suits, as some adults prefer to call them—are about half the price of other matching PJ sets, and they’re super cute. They’re made from 100% polyester with a microplush finish, making them suitable for even the chilliest of nights. And while they feature a subtle-enough buffalo plaid pattern, they’re finished off with a hood with antler accents that adds some character and Christmas cheer without being over the top.

Getting tweens and teens to agree to wear matching Christmas pajamas, especially those adorned with reindeer or snowmen, is a task that could bring some serious bah humbug to the holiday fun. That’s why this set from PajamaGram is the perfect middle ground. Rather than cutesy patterns, it combines a solid green crew neck top with red and green plaid pants. Adult sizes are made from 100% cotton flannel, while children’s sizes are made with a flame-resistant polyester flannel that’s ultra warm and comfy. The PJs are sold as a set and come in regular, petite, and plus adult sizes in addition to baby, toddler, and kids’ options. There’s also an option to add a button-up sweater for your pet, which is the icing on the cake (or the star on top of the tree, so to speak).

Thanks to his eventual turnaround, the Grinch is a Christmas character favorite for kids and adults alike. If watching The Grinch Who Stole Christmas is a family tradition—or you just love Whoville—this set from Pottery Barn Kids will be a crowd pleaser. The set is available in a onesie for the little ones, and both loose and tight fit options for both older kids and adults. The loose fit option is made from 100 percent polyester flannel that’s as warm and cozy as it is durable, while the tight fit is constructed of 100 percent organic cotton that’s a bit lighter. One thing to note: Size options are a bit limited, capping out at XL for women and L for men.

If you want to get your dog (likely, unwillingly) in on the PJ matching fun, Hanna Anderson has you covered with pet sweaters that fit XS (or Chihuahua-sized) pets to XL (or Great Dane-sized) breeds. While the pet pajamas are marketed toward dogs, the design of the sweater will work for cats too, as long as you can get them to sit still long enough to cooperate. In addition to pet sizes, these organic cotton PJs come in women’s, men’s, unisex, baby, and kids and there’s a wide range of items to choose from. Instead of being limited to matching sets, you can opt for coordinating pieces like long johns, fleece pants, onesies, shirts and robes in patterns or solids.

Finding a pattern to please (and fit) everyone in a large family can take some digging, but these striped sets from Macy’s will likely do the trick for most people. The subtle red and white pattern says “Christmas” without overdoing it, and the pieces come in a decent range of sizes for babies, kids, adults, and pets. All sets are made with a cotton polyester blend that’s arranged into a waffle-knit fabric that’s perfect for cozying up on the couch while you sip on some hot cocoa and watch a Hallmark movie or play a family-friendly game by the fire.

While the plaid pajama pants match, the shirts beautifully coordinate, with one expressing the traditional “All I want for Christmas is you” sentiment, and the other boasting, “All (s)he wants for Christmas is me.” You can choose from eight Christmas colored unisex shirts, like red, green, and gray, in sizes that range from XS to 4XL. If you like the idea of a coordinating couple set, but you’re not sold on the Mariah Carey-inspired design, there are also different options for newly-engaged couples, husband and wife, or Christmas Vacation fans.

Nothing says family Christmas fun like a matching set of onesies.

There’s even a onesie for your pup, or you can opt for a reversible bandana instead. If one of your family members isn’t on board with the onesie theme, they can still get involved in the family PJ fun by purchasing a pair of men's-size pants in a matching pattern.
