Christmas Costumes

1 - 60 of 416

Christmas is probably just about everyone's favorite holiday. Really, what's not to like? Parties, gifts, special food treats. Lots of great music. (And some not-so-great music--but we won't talk about "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer.")

Are you having a religious celebration or church pageant? We have child and adult costumes for Joseph & Mary, shepherds, wise men, angels.

For secular celebrations we have costumes for Santa Claus and Mrs. Santa. For elves and reindeer. For candy canes and gingerbread cookies. They're great for distributing gifts or hosting parties.

If you're into classic TV and movies, we have themed costumes from A Christmas Story and How The Grinch Stole Christmas.

So, plan your celebration, and make it even more festive with one of our Christmas costumes!

Christmas Costume Ideas

It's that time of year where we all want to get together and make memories that will last. The weather turns colder, in some places the snow starts to fall, and the city brownstones and the country hillsides both become illuminated in the night's darkness. It's the kind of thing that plucks at the nostalgic tethers of your heart strings, makes you want a nice cup of hot cider, and to sit back and enjoy a roaring fire beside a beautiful tree with all the trimmings.
It also makes you want to... party! The Holiday party is always one of the best. Ugly Christmas sweaters. Santa suits. Elves with pointy elf ears. Mysterious, wrapped presents. Egg nog (okay, maybe not the egg nog) and everything else that makes Christmas the best time of year! Don't let another season go by without a celebration for the ages (and the best of social media posts). Get a Christmas costume! We have so many that you must check it out because after that you'll be on your way to making your season as merry and bright as can be. Ho ho ho, and away we go!

Elf Costumes

Girls Holiday Elf Costume

Girls Holiday Elf CostumeThis little elf is working hard to get Santa's presents in his bag. She's wearing an exclusive Elf Costume, which has the classic red and green colors with gold trim and a very cool curly-cue pointy hat on top.

Child Holiday Elf Costume

Child Holiday Elf CostumeJunior may like opening presents a whole lot more than wrapping them, but he's great at both! He's also looking quite festive in this kids' elf costume. It has green and red details along with peppermint buttons and striped sleeves. Now if you could just keep him from eating too many cookies!

Adult Holiday Elf Costume

Adult Holiday Elf CostumeThe elf dad has been through so many seasons it would take a lot to get him off his game. He can wrap, woodwork, and bake with the best of them, and he does it all with the kind of knowledge the other elves take for granted. And even though he's constantly working overtime his uniform is always on point. Check out this Christmas Elf costume for adults! It's got everything you'll need to show off you mean serious elf business: peppermint buttons, sleepy green hat, pom-pommed shoes. Okay, that sounds like it's NOT serious business but that's just what elves wear, okay? Add a little rouge to those cheeks and you'll be set to impress.

Women's Holiday Elf Costume

Women's Holiday Elf CostumeWhat a beautiful dress! This elf dress might be standard issue for elves, but that doesn't mean it's not a knock-out. We love the green and red together, and the scalloped trim along the top of the hat. Peppermint buttons down the front and a gold buckled belt just like Santa himself make this sexy elf costume a knockout. Wow! This is the kind of elf costume that makes Christmas the most wonderful time of year.

Santa Costumes for Adults

He's been around for ages and he's known in almost every country in the world. Whether you want to call him Saint Nick, Kris Kringle, or Pelznickel—there's only ONE Santa Claus, and he brings joy and merry cheer to millions every Christmas season.
It's no small feat becoming Santa. First, you have to get exceedingly jolly, you have to refine that palate and get it prepped for sugar overload but, most of all, you have to have the right costume! Like his names, Santa has had many looks over the years, but 20th century advertising has solidified the ideal Santa look to consist of a red suit with white trim, rosy cheeks, and a big white Santa beard. It's a good thing you found us here at HalloweenCostumes.com! We have so much we think Kris Kringle himself would be quite impressed.
After you've got the look down, personality is key! Being Santa Claus is one of the most magical roles you could ever play. Children everywhere look forward to seeing you in your bright red suit, so that they can tell you about what they've been wishing and waiting for the whole year. Being Santa Claus doesn't have to be expensive, either. You can play a perfectly convincing Santa with our simplest suit, or wear some of our more detailed replicas and have even the adults questioning whether you might actually exist. Use this guide, and no matter what name you go by, we'll believe in you just like little Virginia did. "There really IS a Santa Claus!"

Flannel Santa Suit

Flannel Santa SuitThis flannel Santa suit is a basic option but not a boring one! It includes all of the pieces you need to be Santa and could be a good option for participating in a fun Christmas time run or just for delivering presents for the neighbors! It's also perfect for kicking back, eating cookies, and watching Rudolph on repeat. We won't judge.

Regal Santa Suit

Regal Santa SuitFor a little more money, you can treat yourself to the plush looking Regal Santa suit. It includes a pair of black boot covers, but we paired it with our Santa boots for a more polished look. When the suit is this affordable, you can easily splurge on the extras, like tons more presents for the kids (or that new XBOX you’ve had your eye on... hey, we get it, off season can get dull!).

Premiere Santa Suit

Premiere Santa SuitOur exclusive Premiere Santa suit is ready for a mall or parade appearance. It is that convincing! Made from a heavier, higher quality fabric, this suit will last through the years and allow you to bring the magic of Santa to boys and girls as long as you are willing to suit up! It doesn't include the cookies, but we guarantee you'll get plenty of them wearing this gorgeous suit.

Jolly Ole St. Nick Santa Suit

Jolly Ole St. Nick Santa SuitIf you think just being Santa isn't enough to make an impression, perhaps this Jolly Ole St. Nick suit is what you are looking for. This unique, old-fashioned design will set you apart from the rest and make you a popular guy during the holidays. After all, who wouldn't want their party to be visited by the best dressed Santa around? It's a bit of a throwback, but classic Santa always stays in style.

Mrs. Claus Costumes

There are several options for playing Mrs. Claus — do you want to go classic baking cookies in the kitchen style, or would you rather go modern with a little bit of sassy seasonal fashion? The only question you need to ask yourself is whether you want to look very nice or a little bit naughty? Which of Santa's lists would you like to be on, exactly? Children love visits from Mrs. Claus almost as much as they love visits from Santa (assuming you're the classic Mrs. Claus!), mostly because she always has sweets to dole out. And, after all, who better to put in a good word with the big guy than her? But if you'd rather focus on being ready to party on Christmas Eve and leave the kids to Santa, we have some fun options for that, too! Check them out below and find some holiday inspiration.

Present Bag

Present BagThe easiest way to convince a crowd that you're the real deal? Carrying a large bag of presents of course! This gift bag will carry lots of toys and look special when you arrive to make a special delivery to the ones you love.

Santa Glasses

Santa GlassesSanta needs to make sure no name has been overlooked on his "nice" list, so he wears a pair of nice glasses to double check before he leaves on Christmas Eve. Wear your own pair, and you'll be an extra convincing Santa!

Santa Hat

Santa HatIt's cold at the North Pole, and Santa has to keep warm so that he can meet all of his important responsibilities during the holidays. Plus, when you picture Santa, does he ever have a bare head? We didn't think so. That makes this classic hat a MUST! Santa hats are also good for festive family photos!

Santa Beard

Santa BeardSanta is not known for being a clean shaven guy. And thanks to this Santa beard, you can portray him without having to grow your own luxurious facial locks. This one even includes a wig, so that your makeover can be especially convincing.

Nightmare Before Christmas Costumes

If your family is anything like ours you probably have some Christmas movies you just have to watch, and if you're really like our family, you just HAVE to watch Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas at least once, but probably more like twice or three times even. It's a classic! Such memorable songs, scenes, and characters. Who could ever forget Lock, Shock, and Barrel, Jack first discovering Christmastown, or that mean Oogie Boogie and his weird, bug-ridden gambling den. We think the best way to create a whole new family tradition is to dress up in costumes as the characters and sing along with the film. "'Twas a long time ago, longer now than it seems..."

Jack Nightmare Before Christmas Costume

Jack Nightmare Before Christmas CostumeThe hero of the story is Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King who draws all the attention during Halloweentown celebrations every year. Once he discovers Christmastown, he decides to become "Sandy Claws" himself! If you're ready to lead the festivities you'll want our Jack Skellington costume. It looks just like the Tim Burton character and will certainly have the whole family saying, "What's this... what's this?"

Sally Nightmare Christmas Costume

Sally Nightmare Christmas CostumeSally is Jack's wistful girlfriend who isn't quite sure about this whole Christmas thing. She is kind and caring, and looks out for Jack. They're a classic couple that sing one of the best songs in the movie in their snowy graveyard as Jack's dog Zero lights the way. If you're ready for your solo, you'll need this lovely Sally costume.

Love Your Look in an Elf Costume

So, we start with the workshop workers. Of course we start with them! Everyone knows Santa runs the show, but it's really the elves who do all the rough and tumble, sweat-inducing handiwork to finish all the toys on time, not to mention polishing the sleigh, wrangling the reindeer, stitching Santa's infamous sack of gifts, and who do you think optimizes the route around the world? That's why wearing an elf outfit is one of the best ways to show you're Christmas cheer. Stand in solidarity with the elves and all that they do to make the holiday season bright, merry, and memorable. The photos below capture a rare look of the often mysterious elves at work in their natural surroundings, prepping and working. Whether you're looking for an adult or kids elf costume, we have everything you could want. No need to book that expensive flight to the North Pole… we got it. Once you're looking your cheerful, elfish self, you too can stage some photos using the looks below to inspire Christmas memories for years and years to come.

Don't Forget the Mistletoe

Don't Forget the MistletoeIt's important to keep the holiday season as smooch-filled as possible. Mistletoe is the best way to do that. It's a classic decoration! Hang it above the doorways, above the work stations, above the tree, and if none of that works out then you can just hang it over your sweetheart anyway.

Keep an Eye on the Cookies

Keep an Eye on the CookiesWhile working hard it's easy to forget the details. That just won't do when you're working for Santa. He's got the highest standards of all! Just take a look at this spectacular scene. Lots of presents getting wrapped, trees being decorated, and… cookies getting eaten? Yep, you've got to keep an eye on junior for sneaking the sweet stuff during all the commotion. And if you're the one who is doing the taste test, just tell your supervisor that you're just making sure Santa will enjoy them. Everyone knows Santa hates that fake coconut flavoring. Luckily, these were just delicious sugar cookies with marshmallow fluff. Phew!

That's a Wrap

That's a WrapIsn't it great to get the whole family together for a fun activity like wrapping presents? Okay, maybe that isn't the most fun thing ever, but we promise, once it's all done you'll look back and be so proud at what you accomplished together. If you've got some time left over, try making some paper snowflakes and garland decorations for your pictures. As you can see in our photos, these simple decorations really make any room look festive and picture ready. Hey, you've got the tape, ribbon, and scissors out already, why not let it snow, let it snow, let it snow (with paper)!

Look Good for Santa

Look Good for SantaIt's important to remember the big guy whenever you're working. He's the velvet leader, the bearded boss, the snowcapped commander! His standards have to be your standards, and we're here to tell you that his standards are mile high. Good thing you know what you're doing when it comes to decorating, baking, and wrapping presents. That's sort of elves 101 stuff. As you can see, our elf family here is totally on point and scored excellent marks when Santa stopped by to supervise. If you have a few extra people, grab some reindeer costumes - and get the sleigh ready to go!

Time for Cookies!

Time for Cookies!Now that all the hard work is done everyone can eat some cookies! Wait, that's not right... we meant BAKE some cookies. Make a little assembly line for frosting, sprinkles, and taste tests. Well, that's what junior wants to do anyway, but he has an insatiable cookie hunger problem!

Elf on the Shelf

Elf on the ShelfWho doesn't like a bonus elf? A new Holiday classic can come to life to surprise just about anyone, even other elves! You've seen him in stores, on social media (and on countless shelves) and now you can experience what it's truly like to be the world-renowned Elf on the Shelf.
