Comfy Essentials for Christmas Morning

It's time to deck the halls with all things comfy! For many families, Christmas morning is the pinnacle of the holiday season. You've gone all out with the decorations, full stockings are in a neat row on the mantel, and your cookie tins have been overflowing since the day after Thanksgiving. All that's left is sitting down to a homemade Christmas feast and, of course, opening the presents. Now is the time to relax and enjoy the holiday, and the finishing touches can really come down to your outfit. Comfy and cozy are the names of the game when it comes to picking out your Christmas morning look. These wardrobe essentials are perfect picks for an equally perfect holiday celebration.

Stylish Sweats

With so many different styles and materials to choose from, it's no wonder that sweatpants are having a renaissance. A comfy pair of women's sweatpants can strike the perfect balance of cozy and cute on Christmas morning. Opt for an ankle-length pair with a neat hem in a fabric like fleece for the ultimate sweats for the holiday. This style of bottoms makes for a seamless transition from your Christmas brunch to a walk around the neighborhood to hand out homemade cookies. Pair with a fun Christmas sweater or a cheery cardigan to a look that's just as festive as it is lounge-worthy.

Perfect PJs

Nothing calls for the comfiest pajamas quite like Christmas morning. The cozy energy that comes from gathering around the tree to open presents, the scents wafting from the kitchen, and your favorite Christmas classics on repeat all pair perfectly with those go-to PJs you could live in. Super comfy pajamas are a Christmas day must, and don't worry, this is one of those days where no one will judge you for staying in your PJs until it's time for dinner.

For a look that blends style and ultimate comfort, opt for a long sleeve top paired with print leggings, ideally in a material like soft velour. Complete the look with your favorite slippers or comfiest pair of warm socks and you'll be ready to enjoy Christmas morning to the fullest (and at your fullest — comfy leggings with a little stretch are perfect for the post-Christmas-breakfast food coma that we all know and love!).

Festive Fabrics

If you want to kick the whole merry and bright thing up a notch while still maintaining that comfy vibe, then Christmas pajamas are a Christmas morning essential for you. Sure, you might only rock your green holly or red mitten PJ bottoms once a year, but doesn't that make them all the more special? Christmas is all about creating lasting memories, so you might as well go all out. Since Christmas pajamas are just as comfy as other pajamas, you won't be sacrificing coziness for seasonal style. Plus, being decked out in festive fabrics from head to toe will also make for the best photos.

Fuzzy Socks

Step into that warm and fuzzy feeling on Christmas morning with a pair of fuzzy socks. We love fuzzy socks because they're a mix between a slipper and a standard sock. Often made from a material like a super soft microfiber or fleece-lined thermal, fuzzy socks also come in basically any pattern you can think of. Go for a neutral color with a fluffy white cuff to complement your Christmas patterned PJs, or opt for a pair with a fun holiday pattern like reindeer or snowflakes if you're wearing a more subdued outfit (don't worry — with fuzzy Christmas socks, any outfit will feel festive). The right socks also make the comfy Christmas morning essentials list because you can easily pull on a pair of boots over them to go on a walk with family while still keeping your feet warm and cozy.

Tannenbaum Throws

Alright, so now you've got your cozy Christmas morning outfit picked out, but you're still missing one comfy essential. Once you're cozied up on the couch in your choice of PJs or sweats, steaming cocoa in hand, and your feet enveloped in fuzzy, festive warmth, you'll want to reach for a throw blanket to complete your Christmas cocoon.

While throw blankets are a cold-weather essential anyway, you'll want to have a few options of Christmas throws to stay in theme. A plush fleece printed throw in a festive pattern or a cable knit throw blanket in red will not only tie the living room decor together, but it'll also ensure maximum comfiness as you soak in the joy of Christmas morning.
