Starting a Christmas Eve Tradition: Matching Personalised Pyjamas and a Santa Sack

There is something truly magical about Christmas Eve. The tree is twinkling, the stockings are hung, and little ones can barely sit still with excitement. It is the perfect evening to slow down, snuggle up together and start a tradition your family will look forward to year after year.

Here are a few of our favourite ways to make Christmas Eve feel extra special.

1. Open a Christmas Eve gift

A small gift on Christmas Eve helps to calm the excitement and sets the scene for the big day. Many families now open a box containing new pyjamas, a festive book and a hot chocolate to enjoy before bed. It is a lovely way to mark the start of Christmas together.

2. Get cosy in matching family pyjamas

Matching pyjamas have become one of our favourite Christmas traditions, and it is easy to see why. They make for the sweetest family photos, and there is something wonderful about the whole family waking up on Christmas morning looking like they belong together.

Our Personalised Magic of Christmas Family Pyjamas feature a charming watercolour winter scene, with a little bunny in a cosy blue scarf, snowy trees and a snowman, and your chosen name printed beneath in blue. The sleeves and bottoms are covered in a festive village print of colourful houses, foxes, snowmen and Santa's sleigh.

• 100% certified organic cotton – soft, comfy and gentle on little ones' skin
• Sizes for the whole family – a baby romper from 0–3 months, and lounge sets right up to adult 3XL
• Personalised gift box – every set arrives in a matching village-print box, finished with a red ribbon and printed with the name

3. Leave out a sack for Santa

A personalised Christmas sack is a lovely alternative to a stocking, and it becomes a keepsake you can bring out every year. Leave it by the tree or at the end of the bed on Christmas Eve, ready for Santa to fill.

Our Personalised Magic of Christmas Sack matches the pyjamas perfectly, with the same bunny winter scene and your child's name printed in blue. It is made from soft white cotton with a drawstring cord and tassels, and measures 40 x 50cm – plenty of room for presents from Santa.

4. Read a festive story together

Snuggle up in your new pyjamas and share a Christmas story before bed. It is a simple tradition, but one children remember for years to come. Take a look at our Christmas collection for some of our favourite festive books.

5. Prepare a treat for Santa and his reindeer

A mince pie and a glass of milk for Santa, and a carrot for Rudolph, is the perfect final job before bedtime. Little ones love checking the plate on Christmas morning to see what has been eaten!

Order in time for Christmas

Every set of pyjamas and every sack is personalised just for you, and we speed up our personalisation in the run-up to Christmas so your order arrives in time.

Last order date for UK delivery before Christmas: Friday 18th December.

We would still recommend ordering early to avoid disappointment, as Royal Mail can get very busy in December.

From all of us at Chic Petit, we wish you and your little ones a magical Christmas.

Thoughtful. Timeless. Personal.
