The most wonderful time of the year, Christmas, will soon be here, conjuring up images of red Santa suits, long white beards, sleighs, green elves, reindeer, and angels galore. For the masses throwing a traditional Christmas costume party this year, their preparations will no doubt be in full swing. There are so many options with holiday costumes that sometimes it’s hard to decide which one to choose, so let’s take a look at some beautiful classic Christmas costumes.
Elf: That much-loved movie Elf is the reason why Santa’s little helper elf costume has skyrocketed in popularity. The set consists of pants, jacket and elf hat in green and red Christmas colors. Add some elf slippers to top it all off and if you look around you might find some that even have rattles on them. An ideal and comfortable costume to wear for both children and adults makes this a popular choice.
Reindeer: Our children’s love story with Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer is timeless and puts this outfit on our top ten Christmas costumes list. For the man who is still a kid at heart, there are adult versions of this costume as well. He looks great with the big black eyes and nose. Just be careful not to poke anyone in the eye with your antlers when you’re doing a lot of kissing under the mistletoe if you’re an adult. A little tip here: costumes don’t always come with a red nose, but you can always use your leftover Comic Relief or buy one at a clown accessory store.
Santa Claus continues: This is a suit available for any age, male and female, such is its popularity. For Santa’s baby, her little darlings will be in festive favor in their Santa outfits and if you’re out and about visiting relatives on Christmas morning, prepare for your baby to take center stage. For baby boys, the costume comes with cute pants and a jacket with traditional white fur trim and a black belt for added comfort. The Christmas hat is a must for the perfect finish. For little Miss Santa, the costume becomes a beautiful red dress with white fur trim around the bottom, neckline and cuffs. TIP: If you don’t want to wear a Santa hat, you can rock a bright red headband for great effect.
wooden soldier: This super attractive costume will have your little one walking away with all the attention. The red jacket will traditionally have silver braiding and some button embroidery, with the white pants having a stripe down the sides. The matching hat is a perfect complement. A great looking little outfit.
Angel: Your little ones will look heavenly and will surely steal everyone’s hearts with any angel costume. This beautiful outfit will come with a sparkling halo and gold or silver edged wings. Always remember the child’s comfort with this costume so that when he needs a nap, he can do it. TIP: A small gold or silver hair band or scrunchie is ideal if your child doesn’t get along with the halo.
