Nothing says ‘It’s Christmas time,’ quite like dressing up in red and green and snapping tons of photos. For families with fur babies, it’s fun to have little Fido or Fifi join in on the photo shoot action. And, naturally, they need something cute to wear! From simple bowties and bandanas to more extravagant outfits, here are 12 dog accessories that will help brighten up your holiday photos.
1. Bowties
If your pooch doesn’t care much for clothes, but you still want him to wear a little something special then a bowtie is the perfect accessory.
2. Neckties
Another awe-worthy accessory: Neckties! If the men in your family holiday photos are planning to wear festive neckties then Fido can join in on the fun with these coordinating options (the left link is for small dogs and the right link is for large canines):
3. Bandanas
It doesn’t get much easier than tying a bandana around your dog’s neck and calling it a day. If your dog goes to a professional groomer then they may already have a holiday-themed bandana. If not, there are tons of options right on Amazon.
4. Holiday Sweaters
These holiday sweaters have glowing reviews on Amazon … and for good reason! Not only are they adorable and good quality, but you can also get a matching sweater for yourself.
5. Tuxedo
Fancy family photos? Take things up a notch by dressing your pup in a full-on formal tuxedo! This one comes in 5 sizes (small, medium, large, extra-large, and extra-extra-large):
6. Holiday Dress
Is there anything cuter than a dainty dog in an elegant dress? I just love dressing my toy Poodle, Gigi, in little dresses during photoshoots and when we host house parties. It’s just so stinking adorable. As I begin my search for Gigi’s holiday dress, I’m linking a few awe-worthy options:
7. Red and Green Tutu
A dog in a tutu? Yeah, who wouldn’t smile at that sight?! This alternating red and green tutu is perfect for holiday photos and parties. It features an elastic waistline that’s comfortable yet snug enough so the skirt stays in place when your pooch has to pee. This holiday tutu is available in 7 sizes, ranging from XS-XXXL!
8. Adorable Santa’s Reindeer Costume
When I first stumbled across this adorable dog holiday costume, I immediately added it to my shopping cart. Once Fido or Fifi slips into this unique costume, it’s as if he/she has transformed into a reindeer and is giving Santa a ride!
9. Christmas Tree Costume
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree, How lovely are thy branches! While sizing ranges from S through XL, this costume is designed for small dogs (the XL fits up to 18 lbs).
10. Snowman Costume
Sing it with me: Do you wanna build a snowman? Turn your dog into a little Olaf with this sweet snowman costume.
11. Festive Hats
Your pup will be the center of attention in one of these festive headbands.
12. Matching Family Pajamas
Each year, my family gets a new set of matching Christmas pajamas. And, yes, even the dogs join in on the action and wear coordinating outfits. Two years ago, we wore stripes. Last year, we wore red plaid. This year? Well, you’ll just have to wait and see! If you’re on the hunt for some Instagram-worthy PJs, here are a few great options:
Happy Holidays!
