Tartan, satin, velvet and feather galore.

Is it even December 25 if you don't wake up bleary-eyed and giddy with excitement in a pair of Christmas pyjamas? In our books, true festive fun means casting aside all your typical tastes in favour of something more playful. And the same goes for your nightwear: we're talking tartan, velvet, feathers, scarlet-red satin and whimsical prints.

If you're stubborn and insist on looking elegant in your Christmas pyjamas while you unwrap what's under the tree, look to brands like Olivia Von Halle, Arket and Sleeper for chic sets that are too good to hide at home. No, really: we've thrown in a few designs that are easily dressed up for parties with a pair of heels and some Christmas earrings.

Or, alternatively, if you want to embrace festive fashion without wearing it yourself, Xmas pyjamas just so happen to make the perfect present to gift your loved ones. We've rounded up 22 of the best sets right here.
