Holiday Baby One-Piece Pajamas: Zipper Styles

For babies, a one-piece is the most practical holiday outfit there is: one garment, nothing to tuck in, and quick to change. During the busy holiday season of visits, car rides, naps in strange places and late-night feeds, the closure style of a one-piece matters as much as the print. This guide looks at our holiday baby one-pieces, with a focus on zipper and closure styles, sizing from 0-3M, and fabric.

Why the closure style matters

Parents of babies change outfits many times a day, and often in the dark. A closure that opens quickly, without wrestling arms and legs, makes those changes calmer for everyone. When choosing a holiday one-piece, look at how it opens, whether the feet and hands are covered, and how easy it is to reach the diaper area.

The double-zipper footie

The navy Christmas Gifts baby one-piece has a double zipper, so you can unzip from the bottom for a diaper change while baby's top half stays covered and warm. It also has convertible footies, which fold over the feet or fold back, and mitten cuffs that can cover little hands. It is part of our navy all-over Christmas print family, and its product page lists 95% bamboo viscose and 5% spandex.

Our supplier's fabric is certified to OEKO-TEX Standard 100.

Classic holiday prints

The other three one-pieces focus on festive prints and pair with matching family pajamas:

Check each product page for the closure details before you order, so you know what to expect at changing time.

Sizes from 0-3M

All four one-pieces are listed in 0-3M, 3-6M, 6-12M, 12-18M and 18-24M. Babies grow fast in the first year, so check your baby's size the week you order. If baby is near the top of a size range, size up so the one-piece still fits on Christmas Day and through the rest of winter.

Fabric: what each one-piece is made of

According to the product pages, the navy Christmas Gifts footie is 95% bamboo viscose and 5% spandex; the gingerbread and elf one-pieces are 95% polyester and 5% spandex; and the Ho Ho Ho one-piece is 93% polyester and 7% spandex. Only our pumpkin, King & Princess and navy all-over Christmas print family sets are bamboo viscose; the other three one-pieces here are polyester.

Fit and care

All four are a snug fit, no added flame retardants. The product pages list machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, tumble dry low and no bleach. Zip zippers closed before washing to protect the fabric and keep the zipper running smoothly.

Holiday tips for parents

  • Pack two: for holiday visits, bring a spare one-piece in case of spills.
  • Car seats: one-pieces work well under a car seat harness without bunching.
  • Layering: add a cardigan or a hat for outings, and remove layers indoors.
  • Night changes: a double zipper makes 2 a.m. changes quicker and quieter.

Gifting a holiday one-piece

A festive one-piece is a thoughtful gift for a baby shower, a new arrival or a baby's first Christmas. Choose one size up so it fits by the holidays, and tuck a note with the size inside the card.

Matching baby with the family

Many parents like baby's holiday one-piece to coordinate with the rest of the family. The navy Christmas Gifts footie matches our navy Christmas Gifts kids' two-piece and Men's set; the gingerbread one-piece matches the gingerbread family pieces; the elf one-piece matches the Women's and Men's elf sets; and the Ho Ho Ho one-piece pairs with the Men's cookies set. Choosing baby's print first and then building the family look around it is often the simplest approach.

Questions about holiday one-pieces

Which one-piece has footies and mittens? The navy Christmas Gifts double-zipper footie, with convertible footies and mitten cuffs.

Which size for a newborn? Start at 0-3M, and size up if baby is close to the top of the range.

Can I wear it after the holidays? Yes; festive prints still feel cozy through the winter months.

Choosing the right one-piece for your routine

Think about how you will use the one-piece most. For overnight wear and frequent night changes, a double-zipper footie with covered feet is convenient. For daytime visits and photos, a classic print one-piece pairs easily with socks and a cardigan. Many parents choose one of each: a footie for nights and a print one-piece for the festive day itself. Whatever you pick, a soft, stretchy one-piece makes dressing baby quick so you can get back to the celebrations.

Finally, keep a small changing kit near the tree on Christmas Day: a spare one-piece, wipes and a burp cloth. With a festive outfit that opens easily and a few essentials close at hand, baby can stay part of the celebration instead of disappearing upstairs for every change.

Ordering for Christmas

Pick your print and closure style, check availability on each product page, and order early so baby's outfit arrives with any matching family sets. We ship within the US.
