The simplest couples Christmas pajamas are a women’s and a men’s set cut in the same print, so each of you gets a fit made for you and the photo still matches. Eberjey’s Gisele Long PJ Set ($158) and William Long PJ Set ($168) share nine holiday prints, so a matching pair costs $326.
Matching as a couple is easier than matching a whole family: two sizes, one print and a shared sense of how festive you want to look. This guide covers the classic pair, every print the two sets share, what to do when one of you runs hot and the other runs cold, and dressier and quieter options for couples who want something different.
The classic his-and-hers pair
The easiest place to start is the button-front pair. The Gisele Printed TENCEL™ Modal Long PJ Set ($158, sizes XXS–XXL) has a relaxed long-sleeve top with a notch collar, contrast piping and a functional pocket, with a low-rise straight-leg pant. The William Printed TENCEL™ Modal Long PJ Set ($168, sizes XXS–XXL) is inspired by the Gisele but made for him, and Eberjey designed it to match back to the women’s set for a his-and-hers look. Both are made from TENCEL™ Modal, and Eberjey describes the men’s set as breathable and machine washable.
Because the two sets share a print rather than a cut, each of you gets proportions designed for you while the pattern lines up in every photo.
Every holiday print the pair shares
These prints come in both the Gisele Long and the William Long, and the price is the same in every one.

If you want to compare how prints pair across the rest of the family, our mix-and-match guide shows which combinations work together.
When one of you runs hot and the other runs cold
Sharing a bed often means sharing a disagreement about temperature. Cleveland Clinic notes that bedroom temperature can become a debate when you share a bed with someone who sleeps differently, and suggests a room between 60 and 67°F; CBS News reports the same range as the National Sleep Foundation’s recommendation. Both explain that body temperature drops as you fall asleep.
The answer for couples is to match the print and change the cut. A warm sleeper can wear the Gisele Printed TENCEL™ Modal Shortie Short PJ Set ($138, sizes XXS–XL) while a cold sleeper stays in the long set in the same Santa Paws print. For a more relaxed men’s option, the Henry Printed TENCEL™ Modal Long PJ Set ($168, sizes XXS–XXL) has a henley top with buttons at the neckline and a pant with an adjustable drawstring and pockets. Our guide for hot sleeper, cold sleeper couples has more ideas for sleeping comfortably side by side.
Washable silk for a dressier pair
For a more elevated gift, Santa Paws also comes in washable silk for both of you. The Inez Washable Silk Printed Long PJ Set ($298, sizes XS–XL) has a relaxed button-up top with a notch collar and high-rise straight-leg pants, and the Charles Washable Silk Printed Long PJ Set ($298, sizes XS–XL) has a button-down top with a chest pocket and straight-leg pants with an adjustable drawstring. Both are 100% mulberry silk, which Eberjey describes as produced using bluesign®-certified processes and verified by OEKO-TEX® Standard 100. A silk pair is $596. To keep silk looking its best, follow our guide to caring for washable silk.
Solids for couples who skip the novelty print
Not every couple wants a Christmas motif. A solid holiday color still reads as festive in photos without a print. The Gisele TENCEL™ Modal Long PJ Set ($158, sizes XXS–XXL) and the William TENCEL™ Modal Long PJ Set ($168, sizes XXS–XXL) both come in Holly Red/Ivory, and both also come in Pine/Ivory. Matching pajamas also make an easy gift for the two of you, and monogramming is available on select styles if you want to add initials.
