The Best Christmas Costumes for Your Dog

Best Christmas costumes for your dog

Christmas is just around the corner, and you know what that means… it’s time to start shopping for those holiday dog costumes. Mr. Snuggles might’ve looked pretty darn cute last year, but that’s all the more reason to go the extra mile this year. Whether you’ve got a Pug, a Long-Haired Dalmatian, or anything in between, we’ve got some wonderful Christmas costumes for your dog to keep your furry friends looking fashionable.

Reindeer Christmas Costume for Your Dog

It doesn’t get more simple than this one… everyone looks a little snazzier with a pair of reindeer horns. They’re cheap, easy and fun, and if you’ve got a dog who really hates costumes, this is a great option to keep everyone satisfied. Or, if you can swing it, double-down on the full reindeer onesie. Your dog might not have a red nose, but even Rudolph himself would be fooled by your pet reindeer! (Photos by @fitztheminidood and @johnb_london)

What’s the best part of every Christmas tree? The star! Let’s be real… the family pup is the star of every family. This holiday season, let everyone know how much your dogs mean to you by sprucing them up with this glittery dog costume sweater.

Bowtie Elf Costume

You saw it coming. How’s Santa supposed to leave all those Christmas presents under the tree this year without the help of his elves?

If Christmas costumes don’t quite fit your dog’s vibe, spice things up a little with a neon-zebra onesie. The holiday cheer doesn’t always look like red and green, so step out of the box and get creative if your pup has some sass! This dog costume looks great any month of the year, so hold onto it for an extra sassy Halloween, too.

Gingerbread Man Costume

You’ll never catch him… he’s the gingerbread man! This Christmas, let your dog truly run wild like they were always meant to do. No one will think anything of it since no one can truly catch the gingerbread man, so your conscience will be clean! Kidding. But if you’re looking for a cute and easy dog costume, the gingerbread man outfit just might be your best bet.

Cookie Chef Costume for the Holidays

While Santa might need help with all those presents, he probably won’t stay very long without a plate of delicious cookies. This year, get some extra paws in the kitchen with this adorable apron and bow costume combo. It’s cute, it’s easy, and it’ll make you double down on those holiday cookies.

Christmas Tree Costume

Maybe you can’t afford the time or space for a Christmas tree this year, or maybe you’re looking for a way to squeeze one more Christmas tree into the house. Either way, this Christmas tree costume is the perfect solution. There will be holiday cheer trotting through the halls in no time!

The “Cheery Dad” Christmas Costume

Everyone loves a good winter toboggan. Throw in a holiday sweater and even Chevy Chase will be taking notes on this Christmas dog costume! Not only is this pet costume adorable, but it’s sure to keep your dog feeling warm and cozy when the weather gets mean.

Christmas Morning Dog Costume

Donuts, hot coffee, and a nice warm robe… everything you need to start your Christmas morning off right. Why not get your dog involved by dressing him up, too? Make sure the whole family is feeling relaxed and energized with this Christmas morning costume.

Olaf, Is That You?

We all know that one particular snowman really took the world by storm in 2013–Olaf from Frozen, who was ironically excited about summer. Well, this little snowman may give Olaf a run for his money, especially since he seems so genuinely happy about his snowman costume. Seriously, is that dog smiling?

Baby Bestie

Sometimes, your dog and your baby share a unique bond that can’t be explained. Matching Christmas sweaters are the perfect way to celebrate that bond around the holidays. And oh yeah—it’s ADORABLE.
