A baby’s first Christmas only happens once, and this little Santa-inspired set was made with exactly that in mind. It pairs a soft velvet dress with a matching Santa hat, so you get a complete, photo-ready outfit straight out of the box rather than having to piece one together.
At £18.99, it is an easy gift to say yes to, whether you are buying for your own baby or picking something for a granddaughter, niece or godchild. The dress is built as a bodysuit underneath, so it is genuinely practical too, not just something for the photo and then straight back in the drawer.
For more first Christmas inspiration, our roundup of Santa-style velvet Christmas dresses for baby girls features a few similar looks side by side.
What Makes This Set Special
The soft velvet dress is finished with white faux fur trim around the neckline, cuffs and hem, giving it that classic, cosy Christmas look without feeling stiff or scratchy against a baby’s skin. Down the front of the bodice, a row of pom pom buttons adds a playful, festive detail rather than functioning as actual fastenings.
A satin style waistband with a buckle detail sits at the waist, giving the impression of a traditional Christmas belt without any real buckle to worry about. Underneath, the skirt is gently gathered for a full, dressy shape that still moves easily.
Because the dress has a built in bodysuit, popper fastenings sit underneath for quick nappy changes, so you are not undressing the whole outfit every time. A single button at the back of the neck is all that is needed to get the dress on and off. The matching Santa hat, with its own faux fur trim and a soft pom pom on top, finishes the look.
Choosing Between Red and Green
Both versions of this set use the same soft velvet, the same faux fur trim, and come with the identical red Santa hat, so the choice really comes down to which base colour you prefer.
The red dress takes a Mrs Claus approach, with white pom pom buttons down the front and a black belt with a buckle for contrast against the red velvet. The green dress leans into the classic candy cane combination, using red pom pom buttons and a matching red belt against the green velvet, so the red carries through the buttons, the waistband and the hat.
Neither is more or less warm or practical than the other, since the construction is identical. Some parents pick based on what else their baby will be wearing that day, others simply go with whichever shade they prefer for photos.

Size Guide
Please measure your baby and compare her to the chart below rather than relying on age alone, since babies grow at different rates. Measurements are in centimetres. Full guidance is also available on our baby size guide.
| Age | Length | Chest | Shoulder | Sleeve | Hips |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0-3 months | 36 | 50 | 19 | 23 | 50 |
| 3-6 months | 39 | 52 | 20 | 25 | 52 |
| 6-9 months | 41 | 54 | 21 | 26 | 54 |
| 9-12 months | 43 | 56 | 22 | 27 | 56 |
| 12-18 months | 45.5 | 58 | 23 | 29 | 58 |
Styling Tips
White or red tights and simple pram shoes finish the look nicely without competing with the faux fur trim. Keep hair accessories minimal at this age. A small clip or headband is plenty, since the Santa hat is already the statement piece.
If you have an older daughter as well, it is easy to put together a coordinated set of photos by pairing this with one of our other girls’ Christmas dresses, without needing the two outfits to match exactly.
As with any outfit that has decorative trims and buttons, we would suggest keeping an eye on your baby while she is wearing it, particularly during naps.
Who Is This Set For?
This set suits:
- Parents dressing their baby for her first Christmas Day or a festive family gathering
- Grandparents and relatives looking for a Christmas gift that also works as a keepsake outfit
- Parents planning Christmas cards or a family photoshoot who want a complete look in one purchase
- Anyone who wants an outfit that is easy to manage around nappy changes rather than a full dress that has to come off entirely

Care Instructions
Hand wash is recommended to protect the velvet and faux fur trim. Do not bleach. Wash at a low temperature, avoid the tumble dryer, and dry flat or on a hanger away from direct heat. Our guide on how to care for velvet material has more detail if this is your first time washing a velvet piece.
Since the fabric is a polyester and elastane blend, it is also worth avoiding high heat when ironing, as this can affect the stretch. Our guide on how to care for polyester material covers this in more detail.
Delivery and Returns
Orders are delivered within 3 to 10 working days, with free UK delivery on orders over £13. We also ship internationally, so this set can be sent outside the UK if needed. Full details are on our postage and returns page.
If it is not quite right, you have 30 days to send it back for a refund or exchange, as long as it is unworn, unwashed and in its original condition.
Frequently Asked Questions
What sizes does this set come in?
It runs from 0-3 months up to 12-18 months. Please check the size chart above and measure your baby rather than going by age alone, since babies of the same age can vary quite a bit in size.
What colours is this set available in?
It comes in red or green. Both versions include the same red Santa hat with white faux fur trim. The red dress has white pom pom buttons and a black belt, while the green dress has red pom pom buttons and a red belt.
Is this outfit easy to change a nappy in?
Yes. The dress has an integrated bodysuit with popper fastenings underneath, so you do not need to remove the whole outfit for a nappy change.
What is the dress made from?
It is made from 95% polyester and 5% elastane, which gives the velvet a slight stretch while still keeping its shape and softness.
How does the dress fasten?
There is a single button fastening at the back of the neck for dressing, plus popper fastenings underneath at the bodysuit section for nappy changes.
How do I wash this set?
Hand wash is recommended and the set should not be bleached. Washing at a low temperature and avoiding the tumble dryer will help the velvet and faux fur trim keep their texture.
Is this suitable for a newborn’s first Christmas photos?
Yes. The matching Santa hat, faux fur trim and soft velvet make this a popular choice for first Christmas photos, Christmas cards and family gatherings. You can see more ideas in our roundup of the best baby girl Christmas dresses.
Will my baby be warm enough in this outfit?
The velvet fabric and long sleeves are suited to indoor winter wear. For anything outdoors, we would recommend adding a coat or pram suit on top, as with any dressy outfit.
What if I am unsure which size to order?
Compare your baby’s length, chest and hip measurements to the size chart above. If she is between two sizes, we would suggest sizing up. You can also email us at [email protected] and we will help you choose.
Do you deliver this set outside the UK?
Yes. We ship internationally as well as across the UK. UK orders over £13 qualify for free delivery, and delivery generally takes 3 to 10 working days once dispatched.
