Costumes aren’t just for Halloween, and whether you’re trying to set up a live nativity scene or want to dress up as Santa for your kids, Christmas costumes are a festive way to bring cheer to the whole family.

Santa Costumes

The king of all costumes is the Santa Claus outfit, and there is no shortage of them online and in costume shops.

You can find complete Santa Claus sets at costume shops that include the red Santa suit, white beard, and wire-rimmed glasses. If you have a little one, look for baby Santa costumes before you hit your next theme party.

Mrs. Claus Costumes

Add to the ensemble of Christmas costumes with Mrs. Claus. There are a few variations of Mrs. Claus costumes. One is traditional, with a long dress, white bun, bonnet, and small wire-framed glasses. Sexy Mrs. Claus costumes are popular as well: a short, dress, a garter belt and white fishnet stockings.

Don’t forget elf costumes, and reindeer costumes – with Rudolph, of course. Make sure when you’re buying any costume that it’s made of breathable cotton – you don’t want to be overheated and itchy throughout the entire Christmas party.

Religious Christmas Costumes

Religious Christmas costumes are usually for a pageant, play or nativity scene. You can find Mary and Joseph costumes, wiseman robes, and angel costumes and wings. You can also buy religious costume props, such as plastic animals (unless you decide to go with living, breathing donkeys and sheep)! and brightly-wrapped gifts for the wisemen to carry.

Angel Costumes

Angel costumes are especially adorable for babies and kids, and can be practical as well – they can be reused at Halloween. Angel costumes range from the simple: a white bodysuit and wings made of netting, to the complex: white tulle, sparkling silver halos, and wings made of feathers.

Christmas Tree Costumes

A Christmas tree costume is fun and lighthearted, and can be homemade from green felt and hot glue, or bought from a costume shop. Decorate yourself with strands of tinsel and colorful ribbon, hang small Christmas ornaments or even look for battery-operated twinkle lights so you can light up your next Christmas party.

No matter which Christmas costume you choose, opt for a higher quality outfit as a cheap suit is going to be itchy, hot, and no fun at all. Look for breathable cotton and other materials that will let you be comfortable during this holiday season.
