Christmas jumpers for kids – a highlight for the festivities for many parents!
Christmas jumpers for kids – There’s nothing much cuter than a smiling little darling bundled up in an adorable Christmas jumper. And if they’re naughty? You can threaten them with more than a disgruntled Santa! See that obnoxious, glittery elf jumper little dude?! A picture of you enduring the wearing of it is going in a frame every Christmas from now until you’re 40! So, sit down and eat your sprouts!
As with most things at Christmas, there are a huge number of festive jumpers, sweaters and tops to choose from. Where to start!? We’ve created a list. We’re helpful like that. Just remember, there will be an incessant line up of ‘events’ at nursery and primary school during December, including Save the Children’s awesome Christmas Jumper Day so buy wisely and your choice of garment should see your little one through the entire season. Ace!

‘Santa Hooded Colourblock’ Jumper£22-£27 from Next
Another ‘cool’ non-woolly jumper for the boys in the family at that awkward age. The camo design is fun and edgy with a neutral palette and pops of jolly red.

This one is for boys who have a sense of humour and who love a bit of festive cheer when it comes to Christmas jumpers for kids. ‘Dabbin’ in case you’re old and crusty and don’t know *eye rolls* is the dance move that Santa is busting out (I’m so not cool!) on the front of the jumper. The neutral, washed-out colours are great. Made from a cotton mix, brushed into soft fleece on the inside and machine washable.
Festive woollies for older girls

‘Let it Snow’ Jumper from £18.00 – £22.00 from Marks and Spencer
I love this one! It’s the ‘Coco Chanel’ of Christmas jumpers. Classic black and white, minimalist with a touch of quirkiness. Fab! The slogan is knitted into the jumper, no glitter or sequins required and the only real embellishment is a few fluffy Pom Pom snowballs. This is a fantastic option for a girl who doesn’t enjoy traditional festive colours or the same old elves, reindeers and Christmas trees. Machine washable acrylic mix so will feel warm to wear. Order here.
Adorable Christmas jumpers for kids
‘Festive T-Rex Fair Isle Jumper’ £11.99 from H&M
The tiny, party hat-wearing T-Rex dinosaurs rampage across the front of this action-packed jumper. Fair Isle knit is a traditional design at Christmas and H&M have created a few fun versions of it this year. Knitted in forest green, a fab colour and made from an acrylic mix with a touch of wool for extra warmth. It’s a heavier weight, outdoor jumper so not great for the school Christmas party but ideal for ice skating and a Boxing Day walk. Order yours here.
‘Reindeer Hoodie’ £5.99 -£7.99 from Amazon
A Christmas hoodie is a practical option for young lads who bomb around the place at 100 mph and get too hot! A festive hoodie can be worn as a jacket over a long sleeve T-shirt for easy layering. The dark blue of this one would match all outfits and the peeping reindeer is an unusual but fun design. The fabric is a mix but is machine washable and stretchy. Buy one here.
‘Personalised Christmas Wreath Jumper’ £35 from NotOntheHighStreet.com
Christmas jumpers for kids that have Christmas trees, candy canes and her name on the front. All little girls would be thrilled with this jumper. Yep, it’s expensive! But the slouchy design could easily work for a few years if you buy a size to grow into. Pair with leggings when it’s too big and jeans or a skirt when it fits. These sweaters are amazing quality, hand printed, ethically made and eco-friendly. Even better, you’re supporting a small business when you buy one. (Or two! Mum could get a matching one!) Order yours here.
‘3D Christmas Tree Jumper’ £21.99 from Etsy.com
Simply stunning! This is the ultimate Christmas jumper. A 3D knit makes it so special. Baubles, tinsel and a star ‘pop’ out the jumper front. The bold colours of the tree are toned down with the dark marl kit which gives it a classier look. The fit is modern, the knit is quite heavyweight so feels warm and it has a brushed fleece lining so no scratching ‘Hurrah!’. Amazingly it is machine washable at 30 degrees! There’s an impressive range of 3D festive jumper creations on the etsy site.
Teeny tiny Chrimbo jumpers for babies

‘Baby Dancing Animals Jumper’ £12.80 – £13.60 from John Lewis
This is just GORGEOUS! The baby blue colour is simply lovely and the cheeky doggy design is festive but not cliched.

Yes, it’s £16 for a jumper that will last weeks but the photographs of your tiny fella snuggled up in it will last a lifetime. Order yours before they get snapped up.

Baby pink with a delightful reindeer design this is soft and warm. The face of the reindeer is given a glittery touch on the antlers and scarf which is a cute touch. It’s just £12! Amazing!
