I love a ridiculous Christmas outfit. But if I am getting dressed up for a holiday party, I want options beyond another ugly sweater.
And then I saw the Christmas tree onesie. Now apparently I want to be the tree.
Tipsy Elves is all over this list. I already own their llama pajamas, and we have previously covered their light-up witch costume. They understand the assignment when the assignment is “please make this more ridiculous.”
Disclosure: Tipsy Elves gifted me the Rhinestone Rodeo snow suit mentioned below. These Christmas picks are shopping ideas, not a claim that I have tried every item.
1. The Christmas tree onesie. Obviously.
That. Christmas. Tree. Onesie. I cannot get past it. The Oh Christmas Tree Jumpsuit is covered in tinsel, which means you can show up as the decoration. This is my first pick for a Christmas movie night where everybody has agreed to be a little ridiculous.

2. Peppermint Nights feather pajamas
Feather cuffs on Christmas pajamas? Yes, please. The Peppermint Nights set brings the drama to sitting on the couch. I would save this one for the holiday sleepover where snacks are dinner and nobody has any intention of leaving.

3. Pink Santa pajamas
You knew pink was going to make this list. The Pink Santa Lapel Pajama Set would be my pick for opening presents, pouring another coffee, and taking the pictures before anyone has to get dressed.

4. Get Lit pajamas
The Get Lit Crew Neck Pajama Set is for the person whose Christmas party plans involve their own living room. Add fuzzy slippers and something good to watch. That counts as an outfit.

5. Green tinsel fringe shorts
These are delightfully excessive. I would wear the Green Tinsel Fringe Shorts with a simple top and let the shorts do absolutely all the talking. Definitely an indoor-party situation for me here in Colorado.

6. A Glow Getter light-up jumpsuit
If you want to make an entrance, the Glow Getter Light Up Jumpsuit has volunteered. I love the idea of wearing this to a holiday party where the dress code is basically permission to go overboard.

7. An Oh What Fun sweatshirt
Sometimes you want a festive outfit you can wear to get coffee, too. The Oh What Fun Patch Letter Sweatshirt is the easy option here. I would add jeans and cute sneakers and call it done.

8. A Christmas bulb headband
For the person who remembers the holiday dress code approximately nine minutes before leaving. A Christmas Bulb Headband turns your regular outfit into something festive with very little effort. I respect that.

9. A Candy Cane Lane sequin dress
The Candy Cane Lane Sequin V Neck Dress is the one I would choose for a Christmas party with actual dancing. Candy cane colors and sequins are already doing plenty; I would keep the rest of the outfit simple.

10. A Sequin Lights T-shirt dress
A T-shirt dress with Christmas lights in sequins feels like a very reasonable compromise between getting dressed up and wanting an easy outfit. I would pair this one with boots for a holiday dinner.

11. A peppermint purse
You can also keep your favorite outfit and let a Peppermint Purse be the Christmas part. I love a ridiculous little accessory, especially when it looks like something that belongs in a candy dish.

12. A tree skirt and cardigan set
They took the words “tree skirt” seriously, and I appreciate the commitment. The Tree Skirt and Cardigan Set gives you a whole coordinated Christmas look. This would be adorable for hosting a holiday get-together.

13. A Santa Slay dress
The Santa Slay Dress is for the person who wants a Santa-inspired outfit with more party energy. This is the direction I would go for a festive dinner out instead of another novelty pullover.

14. A Santa sequin dress
Or we can add more sparkle. The Santa Sequin Dress makes sense to me for the holiday party where you already know everyone else is dressing up. I would happily use Christmas as the excuse.

15. A Midnight String of Lights sequin dress
The Midnight String of Lights Sequin Dress would be my pick for someone who wants the Christmas theme on a darker dress. It still looks festive without building the entire outfit around red and green.

16. A Mrs. Claus cozy dress
I am allowing a sweater dress into this conversation because an entire Mrs. Claus look deserves consideration. The Mrs. Claus Cozy Dress is a cute option for a Christmas dinner or a holiday photo.
Shop this pick at Tipsy Elves.
17. A Perfect Package dress
The Perfect Package Dress leans all the way into the present theme. This would be fun for a gift exchange, especially if your group takes the outfits almost as seriously as the gifts.

18. Christmas lights leggings
The Christmas Lights High Waisted Leggings are an easy way to make a plain top feel festive. I would wear these for a casual Christmas hangout. The print is the point; they are not the light-up jumpsuit from earlier.

19. A gingerbread man onesie
The Gingerbread Man Jumpsuit would be so cute for a cookie-decorating night. You could show up dressed like the project. I cannot promise this will improve anybody’s icing skills, but the pictures would be excellent.
Shop this pick at Tipsy Elves.
20. A Bumble sherpa onesie
The Bumble Sherpa Jumpsuit is for the Rudolph fan who wants to commit to the character. This is another one I would put on the cabin-movie-night list. Bring snacks and let somebody else choose the movie.

And yes, I have a mountain outfit picked out, too
I tried on the Rhinestone Rodeo snow suit Tipsy Elves sent me, and it fits perfectly. I literally cannot wait to wear it in the mountains. I am planning to wear it in Taos!
I will share how it does after I actually wear it out there. For now, you can browse their snow suits and follow along with my learning-to-snowboard adventure. The Christmas onesies above are for the holiday hangouts; the Rhinestone Rodeo is my separate snow suit.
Which one would you wear?
I am still stuck on the tree. Although the pink Santa pajamas are making an excellent argument.
If you remain loyal to ugly sweaters, please revisit the one we found that holds an entire bottle of wine. That older find still makes me laugh. And our ridiculous Halloween costume roundup is further evidence that dressing like a perfectly normal adult is optional.
