The best father and son matching Christmas pajamas pair a men’s set and a kids’ set in the same holiday print, so dad and the kids match from Christmas Eve to the last present. Many of Eberjey’s holiday prints come in both men’s and kids’ TENCEL™ Modal sets, and the flannel checks come in men’s sizes and kids’ sizes up to 14.
A men’s William set plus a kids’ set costs $240 in any of the matching prints below, and each extra child adds $72. Below, we list every print that matches, compare the two men’s styles, explain how sizing works for dads and kids, and share a few ways to make the matching photo a yearly tradition.

William or Henry: choosing dad’s set
Eberjey makes two men’s TENCEL™ Modal styles in holiday prints. The William Printed TENCEL™ Modal Long PJ Set ($168, sizes XXS–XXL) is the classic choice. Eberjey describes it as inspired by its best-selling women’s pajamas and cut from the same TENCEL™ Modal fabric, designed to be breathable and machine washable, and it matches back to the women’s Gisele sets for a his-and-hers look.
The Henry Printed TENCEL™ Modal Long PJ Set ($168, sizes XS–XXL) is the more casual option. Eberjey describes it as a relaxed-fit Henley long sleeve top with functional buttons at the neckline, and a pant with an elastic waistband, adjustable drawstring, faux fly and functional pockets. Henry comes in Santa Paws, Hollyberry and Winter Pine, so it still matches the kids’ sets in those three prints.
A simple rule: choose William if dad likes a button-front shirt, and Henry if he would rather live in a henley. For more on men’s fabrics and fits, read our guide to the best pajamas for men.
How sizing works for dads and kids
Men’s sets follow Eberjey’s men’s size guide, which runs from XXS (29 to 31-inch chest) to XXL (47 to 49-inch chest). Kids’ sets follow the kids’ size guide, which sizes by weight from size 2 (up to 30 lbs) to size 10 (66 to 75 lbs).
The Kids Printed TENCEL™ Modal Unisex Long PJ Set ($72, sizes 2–10) is unisex, so brothers and sisters can share the same print. Eberjey describes it as a snug-fit set with a long-sleeve crew neck top and cuffed pants. Kids’ pajamas are cut close to the body because US rules from the Consumer Product Safety Commission require children’s sleepwear up to size 14 to be flame resistant or tight-fitting.
For older boys, flannel goes further. The Kids Flannel Long PJ Set ($72, sizes 2–14) matches the Men's Flannel Long PJ Set ($198, sizes XS–XL) in Heritage Check and Oxford Check. Both are a blend of 50% organic cotton and 50% modacrylic.
Make it a tradition, not just a photo
Matching pajamas work best as a ritual the kids look forward to each year. Ohio State University Extension notes that family traditions give children a sense of belonging and security as they grow.
Small habits make it stick. Give the pajamas on Christmas Eve, take the photo in the same spot every year, and read one holiday book together before bed. A study in the journal Sleep, summarized by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, found that a consistent bedtime routine was linked with earlier bedtimes, falling asleep faster, fewer night wakings and longer sleep in children up to age 6, and that the benefit grew with more consistent routines.
Keep bedtime in mind on a big night. The Sleep Foundation and the CDC, citing the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, recommend 9 to 12 hours of sleep per 24 hours for children ages 6 to 12.
