The Best Matching Family Pajamas (That Aren’t Cheesy)

I’m not really into matching PJs on Christmas morning, but my 5 year old definitely is. I love when they match, but I’m not into the whole adult-matching thing. In our house, we lean more toward coordinating with complementary colors and similar prints rather than identical sets.

So if you’ve ever searched for “matching family pajamas,” you know how hard it is to find ones that feel festive without being over the top. Whether you’re taking holiday photos, opening gifts on Christmas morning, or just watching a movie while lounging, these pajama sets are cute and coordinated.

Our Favorite Matching Holiday PJs for the Entire Family

After testing more than a few sets over the years (with kids who don’t stay still for long), I’ve narrowed down my top picks for matching family pajamas that are soft, well-made, and stylish enough that you won’t cringe when you see the photos next year. Here are a few of the best brands and styles worth checking out this season.

1. Lake Pajamas

If you’re going for timeless and luxurious, Lake Pajamas is unmatched. Their cotton is buttery soft and washes beautifully, even after endless wear. I love that they offer coordinating options instead of exact matches – you can do stripes for adults and solids for kids, keeping things cohesive without being identical. Their holiday line usually includes deep greens, reds, and a few understated prints that photograph beautifully.

This year, I’ll be wearing the Pima Ruffle Set in the Green Vivian Floral, and I got the boys the Kids Short Set in Holly Jolly which are adorable. I’ll probably grab the green Bamboo Lounge Pants for Tommy since he prefers those over traditional pajamas.

2. Hanna Andersson

A classic for a reason. Hanna Andersson’s organic cotton pajamas are famous for lasting through multiple kids, and the brand always releases charming seasonal prints – think subtle plaids, snowflakes, or Scandinavian-inspired patterns. I think the Holiday Tree Ribbons pajamas might be my favorite print this year.

They have every size imaginable (from baby to adult), so outfitting the whole family is easy-peasy. The fit is perfectly snug but stretchy, making them ideal for toddlers and kids who never stop moving.

3. Little Sleepies

If comfort is your top priority, Little Sleepies is the brand for you. Their bamboo fabric is silky, breathable, and temperature-regulating – great for anyone who gets hot at night (or for the postpartum moms who get hot flashes lol). They release fun, limited-edition prints each holiday season, but the best part is that most aren’t too holiday-specific. That means you can wear them long after December. Bonus: they make matching dog bandanas too.

4. Burt’s Bees Baby

For something affordable but still high-quality, Burt’s Bees Baby delivers. Their matching family sets feature simple stripes, stars, and classic prints that feel festive but not loud, like this Ski The Alps print that is precious! The cotton is organic and super soft, and the fit runs true to size for both adults and kids. These are adorable for Christmas morning photos when you want everyone to look coordinated but still comfortable.

5. Eberyjey

If you want something elevated – truly investment-worthy yet wearable – Eberjey hits the sweet spot. The brand offers matching sets for the entire family (adults, kids, and even pets) in luxe fabrics and prints that feel sophisticated, not cheesy. 

Their “Family PJs” collection includes coordinating options in sizes from XXS to XXL. This women’s Modal Long PJ Set is made in their signature soft fabric (and I can attest it’s SO soft), and pairs seamlessly with the men’s Modal PJ Set and the kids’ Gisele Printed Long PJ Set. Even if you don’t choose Eberjey, using them as a benchmark helps you spot what “elevated matching” really looks like.

6. Petite Plume

If you want something that feels elegant enough for a Hallmark movie scene, Petite Plume’s classic pajama sets are a dream. They’re made from high-quality cotton poplin, have a crisp yet soft feel, and come in rich prints like tartan or winter floral. They’re pricier than most, but the timeless style means you can wear them year after year – and they look amazing in photos.

I couldn’t help but look at their home stuff while holiday shopping, and these stockings are to die for. I included them in my Ralph Lauren Christmas (on a budget) blog post!

Tips for Choosing Family Pajamas That Don’t Feel Cheesy

• Stick to classic prints: Think stripes, plaid, or solids in festive tones like red, green, or navy.
  
• Coordinate, don’t clone: Pick pieces in the same color palette but mix up patterns slightly between adults and kids.
  
• Focus on comfort: Choose soft fabrics like organic cotton or bamboo, especially for toddlers and babies with sensitive skin.
  
• Buy early: The best patterns sell out fast, especially in popular sizes.
  
• Plan ahead for photos: Neutral backgrounds and natural light make even simple PJs look elevated.

Final Thoughts

Matching family pajamas don’t have to mean glittery reindeer and over-the-top prints. With the right pair, you’ll have cozy, photo-ready outfits that your whole family will actually enjoy wearing—not just for the holiday card, but all season long.
