Cosy Knitted Kids Christmas Cardigan with Santa, Snowman and Gingerbread Print in Red and Green, Ages 1 to 6 Years
A busy, storybook style scene of Santa, a snowman, gingerbread men and a gingerbread house gives this cardigan a more playful, novelty feel than a traditional Nordic print, while the colour-blocked red and green base keeps it looking coordinated rather than cluttered. This kids Christmas cardigan features a V-neck, button front and ribbed cuffs and hem.
The mix of festive characters makes it an easy talking point in photos, and the colour-block construction, with one red and one green sleeve, adds a distinctive detail you will not find on a plain printed cardigan. Sizes run from 1 to 6 years.
This kids Christmas cardigan features a Santa, snowman and gingerbread print on a colour-blocked red and green base, with a V-neckline, button front closure, and ribbed cuffs and hem. It comes in sizes 1 to 2 years up to 5 to 6 years, and is a popular choice for Christmas Day, school Christmas events and family photos.
What Makes It Special
This cardigan combines a detailed festive scene with a practical, easy-to-wear shape:
- Storybook print. Santa, a snowman, gingerbread men, a gingerbread house, candy canes, snowflakes and a star, all in one busy festive scene
- Colour-blocked design. One red sleeve and one green sleeve for a distinctive, coordinated look
- V-neckline. A smart, slightly dressier neckline than a round neck jumper
- Button front closure. Easy to put on and take off, and simple to layer
About the Design
Where a lot of kids’ Christmas knitwear leans on a repeating Nordic or fair isle pattern, this cardigan takes a different approach, telling something closer to a small Christmas story across the front, Santa arriving, a gingerbread house, a snowman and gingerbread men dotted between candy canes and snowflakes. It is a busier design than our other Christmas knitwear, which makes it a strong option if you want something that stands out in a group photo rather than blending in.
The colour-blocked red and green base, split down the middle with one sleeve in each colour, ties the whole print together and keeps it reading as a coordinated cardigan rather than a jumble of characters.
Fit, Comfort and Fabric
A busy print still needs a comfortable, practical shape underneath it, so this cardigan has been built with everyday wear in mind.
Button Front With a V-Neckline
The cardigan fastens with buttons down the front, making it easy to put on and take off, and simple to layer over another top on colder days. The V-neckline gives it a slightly dressier look than a round neck jumper.
Ribbed Cuffs and Hem
The ribbed trim at the cuffs and hem keeps the cardigan neat and helps it hold its shape, while still allowing enough movement for an active child.
Soft Viscose, Spandex and Polyester Blend
The cardigan is knitted from a blend of viscose, spandex and polyester, giving it a soft handfeel with enough stretch for comfortable everyday wear.
How to Style This Cardigan
This cardigan works well as a statement piece on its own, worn over a plain top with jeans or leggings. Because the print is already quite busy, it pairs best with simple, uncomplicated layers rather than another patterned piece.
Occasions to Wear It
This kids Christmas cardigan works for a range of festive and everyday occasions, including:
This cardigan’s busier, character-led print makes it a good choice if you want something that photographs as clearly festive without needing much explanation. If you would prefer the same storybook style spread across an all-over snowflake background instead of colour-blocking, our kids green snowflake Christmas cardigan uses a similar cast of characters in a single green base. If you would prefer a simpler, more traditional pattern altogether, our reindeer print kids Christmas jumper uses a classic Nordic design instead.
