Christmas T-Shirts for Kids

Festive characters for children, from toddler sizes up.

Children’s Christmas shirts get worn harder than adults’. They go to school parties, get glue and icing on them, and are washed several times in a few weeks, so print durability matters more than it does for a shirt worn to one office party. A screen-printed design on a cotton or cotton-blend tee will usually outlast a heat-transfer print.

Recognition matters too. A young child wants a character they know from television, and many preschool properties have Christmas episodes that make them a natural choice even without an obviously festive design. The characters below mix the traditional figures of the season with the children’s characters most likely to be recognised at a school party.
