Kids LOVE traditions - and matching New Year pajamas are the perfect blend of cozy + festive.
They set the mood for your celebration
They make early countdown photos look adorable
They help kids feel included in the excitement
They’re comfy enough to sleep in
And let’s be honest… matching kid pajamas are just cute
Plus, when you look back on your photos year after year, the 2026 prints and designs will mark the moment perfectly.
Here are easy, low-stress photo ideas you can do right at home - no studio needed. Once you get shots of your daughters or kid models in your PJs, drop those photos between sections.
Grab “2026” balloons (Amazon, Walmart, or Party City) and let the kids pose in front of them.
Fun ideas:
Holding sparklers (the safe, kid-friendly LED kind!)
Throwing confetti
Jumping into the new year
Hugging siblings
Turn on some twinkle lights, grab a throw blanket, and get a cozy, cuddly New Year’s Eve photo.
This always feels natural and super sweet.
Give the kids plastic champagne flutes with sparkling juice or apple cider.
Perfect for early-bedtime families.
Write “Cheers to 2026!” on a small chalkboard to add to the shot.
Let the kids dance around with glow sticks or bubble wands.
Candid movement photos always turn out SO cute.
Have them pile pillows in the living room and take a shot from above while they laugh, kick their feet up, or hold a “2026” sign.
Snap a quick picture of them yawning, tucked in with their pajamas on.
Cute caption for social:
“Counting down to 2026… but bedtime comes first.”
January 1st, still in pajamas, hair messy, holding cinnamon rolls or hot cocoa.
Real life. Real memories. Adorable every time.
Our pajamas are already cute - but here are some ways to elevate the look:
Add metallic scrunchies or bows (silver, gold, black)
Pair with fuzzy slippers or socks
Add a sparkly headband or 2026 party hat
Layer with a soft cardigan or robe for a cozy New Year’s morning vibe
Give the kids glow sticks for nighttime pictures
And because your pajama prints are bold and fun, accessories make everything pop.
If you want to turn the pajamas + photos into something special every year, try this:
Matching PJs for everyone
A family “cheers” before bedtime
A dance party in the living room
Write down one thing you’re grateful for from 2025
And one thing you’re excited for in 2026
End with a photo in the same spot every year
These are the memories your kids remember forever - not the big parties, but the cozy nights at home.
All pajamas and tees are designed right here in Philly and made for comfort + celebration.
Perfect for siblings, cousins, and family photos.
