Matching Family Christmas Shirts with Faces: Ideas for Every Family Photo
Every year someone suggests matching Christmas outfits, and every year it's the same plaid pajamas. This year, put the family's actual faces on the shirts. They're funnier in the photo, easier to tell apart in a crowd, and nobody forgets whose shirt is whose.
Here are three styles of matching family Christmas shirts with faces, with tips on how to order for a whole family at once.
Quick comparison
| Style | Faces per shirt | Sizes | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Christmas Hawaiian shirts with faces | Up to 8 faces or pets | Men, women, youth | Holiday parties, warm-weather Christmas, reunions |
| Santa hat face tee | 1–5 photos | Men, women, kid | The family Christmas photo |
| Ugly Christmas sweater tee with face | 1–3 portraits | Men, women, kid | Ugly sweater parties, without the itchy sweater |
1. Christmas Hawaiian shirts with faces
For a loud, happy family photo, or for families spending Christmas somewhere warm, a Christmas Hawaiian shirt with faces is hard to beat. Each shirt takes up to 8 faces or pets, cut out and set into the holiday pattern, and every design comes in men's, women's and youth sizes so parents and kids can match.
Family favorites:
- Candy Cane Tide: candy-cane stripes rolling like waves.
- Island Snowglobe: a tropical twist on the snow globe.
- Gingerbread Islands: gingerbread for the whole family.
- T-Rex Santa: for families with a dinosaur fan (or several).
Tip: put everyone's face on everyone's shirt. It's the same design for the whole family, and it gets a laugh every time.

2. Santa hat face tees
The Custom Face Christmas T-Shirt puts one to five faces inside a holly wreath, each in a Santa hat, with your family name in candy-cane lettering and a line like "Merry Christmas" (or "Naughty List").
Why families like it:
- Backgrounds are removed for you and a Santa hat is added to every face automatically.
- You see a live preview on the product page before ordering.
- It comes in men's, women's and kid fits, in six dark shirt colors.
Matching idea: give each person their own shirt with their own photo in the middle, all in the same shirt color and lettering style.
3. Ugly Christmas sweater tees with faces
Love the ugly sweater party but hate wearing a sweater indoors? The Custom Ugly Christmas Sweater with Face is a T-shirt printed with a Nordic sweater pattern: reindeer, snowflakes and pompoms around one to three portraits, with a name in block letters. It comes in four sweater colorways (Classic Red, Evergreen, Icy Blue, Candy Pink), plus a live preview.
Don't forget the pets
Plenty of families count the dog as a family member in the photo. Pair your family shirts with:
- Custom Pet Christmas T-Shirt: your dog or cat in a Santa hat, with their name.
- Custom Dog Christmas T-Shirt – Ugly Sweater: the dog's face on an ugly-sweater design.
- Custom Pet Christmas Sweaters: your pet's photo on a warm knit-look sweater.
Or add them as one of the up to 8 faces on a Christmas Hawaiian shirt.
How to order matching shirts for the whole family
- Pick one design so the photo looks like a set.
- Collect a clear photo of each person: a close-up, facing the camera, in good light. A selfie works well.
- Add one shirt per person to your cart, each with its own fit (men, women, kids/youth) and size.
- Check sizes for the kids. Kids' and small sizes get a slightly smaller print so it fits the shirt.
- Order early. Every shirt is made to order. Check the production and shipping times on each product page, and order by November 30 to be safe for Christmas.
Make it a keepsake
After the photo is taken, turn it into something that lasts: the Family Christmas Blanket with Face Photos puts everyone's face on a cartoon family in Christmas pajamas, with room for pets too.
