Cozy Clothes for This Year's Celebrations

While I love seeing my kids all dressed up for holiday celebrations, it doesn’t take long for the airing of grievances to begin: this sweater is too itchy, I don’t like pants with zippers and buttons, cut the tag out of this dress. Honestly, I don’t blame kids who just want to be comfortable, especially during holiday celebrations where they have to sit around in those clothes all day and night. So, if you are looking for a more casual holiday ‘fit for your kids this year, we’ve rounded up a few of our favorites that are festive, comfortable, and perfect for kids who are ready to party (without the fancy clothes)!

Lights Long Sleeve Dress

For the girls who love a dress but still want to be comfortable, this Chrismtas lights dress from Cat and Jack is adorable. It would be perfect with a sweater or a jacket, and you can even add some tights and boots for colder weather.

Gingerbread Man Shirt

Even if you don’t have a white Christmas, this Gingerbread man who is enjoying a fun snow day is such a cute shirt for the holidays. The long sleeves are great for chilly weather and the festive shirt is a lot more comfortable than a button up shirt.
