It's official, Christmas is around the corner now, but it's never too late to get a last-minute kids Christmas jumper for your son, daughter, grandson or granddaughter to wear leading up to the big day and during Twixmas this year (any excuse to do minimal washing, if you ask us). While we know it's hard to get fussy toddlers or tweens to wear knitwear at the best of times, we've searched high and low for the best kids Christmas jumpers on the high street this year, that we promise are not scratchy, uber-colourful, and utterly festive in the best possible way.
Whether you plan to have all the family posing in matching fair isle jumpers in front of the Christmas tree, or love putting your little ones in novelty festive knits everyday during December, Christmas jumpers promise to add a touch of holiday cheer to any wardrobe. While there is something so familiar about fair isle jumpers, we have seen a host of retailers including Marks & Spencer, John Lewis, and more do contemporary takes on the charming print this year, including kids' offerings too.
Or, if you know your little ones love all things sequins and glitter, then we have handpicked our favourite glitzy knits to make sure he or she is the brightest in the room this Christmas Day. Not to forget, a collection of novelty Christmas jumpers too, featuring everything from Rudolph's face, a festive pug, penguins and more.
So, if you're on the look out for the sweetest Christmas jumpers for kids, that will not only put a smile on their face but yours too, keep scrolling for our handpicked favourites from H&M, Next, M&S and more for 2024.
