While you still may be stuffing down leftover Thanksgiving turkey and cranberry sauce, it’s officially the Christmas season.
Bring out the wrapping paper, Christmas lights, and the camera for this year’s family Christmas photo. Everyone knows it’s cliche, yet it’s one of the most anticipated parts of Christmas. As you run to the mailbox every day and await your family and friend’s Christmas cards featuring a family photo, you’ll start to notice different trends from last year.
If you’re running short on ideas for this year’s photo, we’ve got you covered. Check out this guide on Christmas picture outfits for you and your family to wear this year.
Plaid, Plaid, and More Plaid
What better time of year to wear plaid than Christmas? Red and black plaid stand out when paired with neutral colors and make for a great pop of color.
Find a different piece of plaid-colored clothing for each family member to wear to make a statement on your holiday photo. A plaid colored scarf or vest is the perfect piece of attire to add.
Snow Gear
While you may not be gearing up for a fun-filled day in the snow, adding snow gear to your photo shoot will make the picture look fun and cozy. If you plan to do this in actual snow versus a staged scene make sure you dress warm enough.
Cute ski coats which aren’t too heavy and thick, earmuffs, and a knit beanie will work great for this type of photo shoot. We recommend you skip out on the ski mask, though. Don’t forget to add a pair of snow boots to complete the outfit.
Indulge in the shoot – staged or otherwise – by playing with the snow. The most important thing to remember is to have fun!
Going Formal
If you want to go the classy route this year, dressing the family in formal wear is perfect. Although we don’t recommend renting a tux for the men, a nice pair of slacks and a button down will look great paired with a formal dress for the ladies.

Matching Pajamas
One of the hottest trends this year is matching family pajamas. This is not only the cutest trend of 2018 but makes for a wonderful Christmas picture outfit.
Choose between a patterned one-piece or a flannel plaid set. Not only will you and your family stay comfy and cozy for your photo shoot but you’ll look adorable, too!
