For the Boys

The Children’s Place has great options for the lads, like this Matching Family Christmas Fairisle Shawl Sweater ($57), which takes the ugly Christmas sweater to a new polished and traditional look. This 100% combed cotton top has a front button-and-loop closure and a classic shawl collar, with long sleeves as well as rib-knit cuffs and hem.

Little elves will love the Motif-detailed Sweaters from H&M ($23). Available in two adorable designs (a reindeer and a Christmas tree), these super comfy sweaters are the perfect way to dress up the holidays. They have a round neck, long sleeves, and ribbing at the neck, cuffs, and hem.

The Plaid Button-Front Shirts from Carter’s OshKosh ($11) come in green and brown, and offer a classic look for holiday gatherings. They are made of soft cotton (so you’ll never get complaints about it being uncomfortable or itchy), with long sleeves and a breast pocket. So handsome!

This Souris Mini Twisted Knit Tank Top ($50) looks super dapper when paired with a long-sleeved shirt and bow tie. This dark grey twisted knit vest instantly adds chic style to your little man’s getup. Combining classic and trendy, it has colourful stripes at the bottom to add some retro style.

The Kids Cable-Knit Sweater from Gap Canada ($60) is an extremely soft cotton blend sweater that comes in three solid colours: red, navy blue, and cream. The cable-knit texture makes this top timeless, and it’s both thick and warm, perfect for when Jack Frost is nipping at your nose.

For the Girls

The Girls Matching Family Plaid Satin Tiered Fit And Flare Dress from The Children’s Place ($63) is a darling plaid dress that has Christmasy flare. The lining is made of 100% polyester satin and features a back-zip closure and tiered body. And the best part is, they have one for mom to match!

Go glitzy for the holidays with H&M’s Sequined Tulle Dress ($30). This sleeveless lined dress has sequin-embroidered tulle and concealed snap fasteners at the back. There’s also a double layer of tulle above the flared skirt for added panache. It comes in white, beige, and red.

We love this Bobble Poncho from Carter’s OshKosh ($15) because of its sophisticated look and lovely detailing. This 100% cotton sweater is loose and easy to wear. It has a ribbed neckline and hem and a cape style design, perfect for little fashionistas.

The Cream Shirt With Wide Ruffle Collar from Souris Mini ($45) can be paired with skirts or pants for a refined little lady look this season. Their girls’ holiday collection is all about simplicity: florals, warm winter colours, and subtle details.

Gap Canada’s Kids Velvet Skater Dress ($60) is edgy and cute, the perfect combo! Available in four beautiful colours including black and June bug green, it has a crew neck and long puff sleeves, making it not only pretty but comfortable too.
