Personalized Custom Dog Christmas Shirt with Photos & Name

This custom dog Christmas shirt is a personalized holiday take on the 90s bootleg tee. Your dog’s name goes up top in big chrome letters, Merry Christmas sits under it in script, and your photos of the pup fill a lightning-framed collage.

Pick a tee, long sleeve, sweatshirt or hoodie for the season.

Upload the Santa hat photo

What’s in the holiday collage?

The samples star a beagle having a very festive week: Santa hat, string lights draped around him, a candy cane bigger than his head and a nap next to the presents. Some shots add a plaid bandana or a bell collar.

Your dog’s photos take every spot, so it becomes a custom dog portrait of your own pup. Colorways pictured include purple-pink-blue, mint, purple, green and aqua; there are 15 total, so your Christmas dog shirt can match the tree.

Your part in the personalized dog tee

Choose the garment and size, from tee to long sleeve to crewneck to hoodie.
Pick colors: the shirt color, then a design colorway numbered 1–15.
Upload 3 to 8 photos. Holiday pictures are fun but not required, and they replace the sample beagle.
Type the dog’s name for the chrome headline. Merry Christmas prints as shown.

Why the dog belongs on your Christmas shirt

Holiday dog sweaters show cartoon pups, never the real one
Santa-hat photos get one Instagram post and then disappear
Matching family pajamas always leave the dog out

For a lot of families, the dog is the star of Christmas morning. The dog’s name in big chrome sits over Merry Christmas in script, with Santa-hat and tree-nap photos packed into a lightning frame below.

All filled in, it could be: Waffles, green colorway 12, a Santa hat close-up in the center and a tree nap, a snow romp and two everyday shots around it. Clear faces make the best dog face shirt.

Who finds a custom dog Christmas shirt under the tree?

This one tends to go to a dog mom who already bought the stocking, booked the Santa photo and put the dog front and center on the family card. Ugly sweaters with cartoon reindeer dogs don’t look anything like her beagle in his Santa hat.

The dog mom with the family card

Since the dog is already in the middle of the holiday photo, a crewneck with his name keeps the theme going all month.

Dad, whose lap belongs to the pup

Every night in December the dog claims his spot, so a hoodie with that face makes sense for movie nights.

Grandparents of a spoiled granddog

If the granddog gets more gifts than the grandkids, a shirt of him under the tree is the honest gift.

Couples planning matching photos

Order two in different colorways, which means the dog sits in the middle of the picture and on both shirts.

Anyone who baby-talks their dog all year

The Merry Christmas line makes it seasonal, but no year is printed, so it comes back out every December.

Start the dog Christmas tee

Tee or dog Christmas sweatshirt?

The Comfort Colors 1717 tee is garment-dyed 6.1 oz ring-spun cotton with a relaxed unisex fit, S–4XL, good for layering under a cardigan.

For a cozy dog Christmas sweatshirt, the 1566 crewneck runs S–3XL in 80/20 fleece, and the 1567 hoodie runs S–2XL with a jersey-lined hood, drawcord and pouch pocket. Wear fleece true to size for relaxed, or one to two sizes up for oversized.

Our size guide lists every measurement for those. There’s a Comfort Colors 6014 long sleeve as well, in S–3XL.

If the pup has a human little brother or sister, a Comfort Colors 9018 youth tee (XS–XL) or a Rabbit Skins 3326 toddler hoodie (2T–5/6T) lets them match.

FAQ

Does my dog need a Santa hat in the photos?

No. Everyday pictures work; the Merry Christmas script turns any photo into a pet Christmas shirt. Festive shots are a bonus.

Can you add a famous movie dog or a pop star?

We can’t. Celebrities, rappers, athletes, public figures, logos, brand names, team marks and cartoon or movie characters are all off limits. Only send pictures you own or may use, or the order will be canceled with a full refund.

Can I wear it after Christmas?

It says Merry Christmas, so it’s a December shirt, but no year is printed. It comes back out every holiday season.
