DRESSING up your baby in something seriously cute and festive has got to be one of the finest perks of having a little one at Christmas.

Our edit of the best Christmas baby outfits are cosy and comfy for your baby and ridiculously cute for everyone else – after all, there's nothing quite like a miniature elf or mischievous reindeer to raise a smile.

From sweet personalised 'first Christmas' babygrows to adorable Santa leggings and pared-back winter warmers, let your baby's outfit do the talking this year.

All the outfits in our line-up are complete sets, so there's no need to fork out for any extras (but we'd forgive you for investing in a petite Santa hat).

Most of the outfits are unisex too, so can be saved and passed on for future festive occasions to really up the mileage of each one.

And if you really want to push the boat out, why not get the whole family to don some Christmas gladrags and take some pictures? A seasonal family photo card is the perfect way to spread cheer far and wide.

What to look for in a Christmas baby outfits

The cuteness factor is naturally a major consideration when choosing a Christmas baby outfit – we're not sure we'll ever tire of seeing mini Santas, elves or reindeer dressed up for the festivities.

That said, comfort is key – choose a material that's soft on your baby's skin and warm enough for the colder weather.

For newborns and smaller babies, the outfit's accessibility is also important – consider whether it has poppers or buttons and if it can slip over your baby's head for quick nappy changes.
