Christmas Costume Ideas
It's that time of year where we all want to get together and make memories that will last. The weather turns colder, in some places the snow starts to fall, and the city brownstones and the country hillsides both become illuminated in the night's darkness. It's the kind of thing that plucks at the nostalgic tethers of your heart strings, makes you want a nice cup of hot cider, and to sit back and enjoy a roaring fire beside a beautiful tree with all the trimmings.
It also makes you want to... party! The Holiday party is always one of the best. Ugly Christmas sweaters. Santa suits. Elves with pointy elf ears. Mysterious, wrapped presents. Egg nog (okay, maybe not the egg nog) and everything else that makes Christmas the best time of year! Don't let another season go by without a celebration for the ages (and the best of social media posts). Get a Christmas costume! We have so many that you must check it out because after that you'll be on your way to making your season as merry and bright as can be. Ho ho ho, and away we go!

How the Grinch
Stole Christmas Costumes
Rather than deliver the presents, take them for yourself while wearing this Grinch costume! But whatever you do, don't try and stuff a Christmas tree, or worse, a person in a Christmas tree costume up a chimney! As long as you play relatively nice, you'll have a blast playing this Dr. Seuss character (or another favorite from our selection of Grinch costumes) and showing that at the end of the day you love being included in parties, presents, and holiday fun. Don't forget to share some of that delicious roast beast!
A Christmas Story
Costumes for Kids and Adults
Have you ever watched A Christmas Story and thanked your lucky stars that it wasn't your Aunt Clara who gave you the pink bunny costume? Although, it is a perfect costume if you are looking for funny Christmas costumes. It's right up there next to Mr. Parker's leg lamp. "FRAG-E-LAY." Bring this Christmas Story bunny costume out during the now traditional TBS marathon, because nothing is more comfortable than pink bunny PJs, we swear.
Elf Costumes for Kids and Adults
Buddy and Josie were such a sweet pair in the Elf that it only makes sense to want to dress up just like them. Maybe the way that you'll spread more Christmas cheer is to be a little more like Buddy this Christmas. Baking is a must. Smiling is a must. Maple syrup… do we even have to say it? This Elf outfit is a must! There's lots of ways to bring the magic of Elf to your own holiday celebrations, and this Christmas Elf costume is a great start.
Old-Fashioned Carolers
Do you long for an old fashioned holiday, where you'd roast chestnuts over a fire and go door to door singing traditional Christmas carols? These caroler Christmas costumes for adults let you recreate that festive spirit and allow you to celebrate the way you've always dreamed about. Just work on the "Fa-la-la-la" harmony and you'll be set to spread Christmas cheer to all your friends and neighbors.
Ugly Christmas Sweaters
Ugly Christmas Sweater parties are becoming more and more popular, but not everyone has the time to scour the local thrift shops in search of the perfect (and by perfect we mean ugly) look. It's unusual to have funny Christmas costumes, but here we are! Our collection of ugly sweaters will look festive, even if they aren't considered particularly stylish and have you in the running as an ugly sweater champion. Check out all of them, some of them get pretty crazy, but it's all in the name of festive fun. Hey, "laughing all the way" is recommended this time of year, right?
Snowman Costumes for Men and Women
If you love the holidays and aren't afraid to show it in over-the-top costumes, this pair of snowman costumes could be your next big thing. Perfectly coordinated and totally festive, these looks are going to be a hit at any party, parade or festival. They're great for those chilly times of year when the snow is covering everything. Nice part about these is you don't really need to be around snow! They're actually just made of comfortable fabrics and not ACTUAL snow. That would be too cold for us humans.
