Personalized Custom First Christmas Baby Photo Shirt for Mom

A first Christmas baby photo shirt puts that little face front and center, because a baby’s first December only happens once. Your custom baby photo sits in the middle of a personalized tee, long sleeve, crewneck or hoodie, with MY FIRST in tall white letters above it and CHRISTMAS below.

CHRISTMAS

Same height and color, so the words frame the photo.

In our sample, a baby lies on a fuzzy blanket in a chunky knit sweater and a slouchy Santa hat, laughing with the whole face, tree lights twinkling out of focus behind.

Toned black and white, it looks like a picture from an old family album, even though it was taken last week. The wording stays exactly as shown; the photo is the part you change.

Who wears a baby photo tee?

Usually it’s a new mom ordering for herself and the grandparents, or a grown daughter buying for parents who just became grandparents. The baby’s first ornament is already on the tree, and now the grown-ups want to wear that little face at Christmas dinner.

Mom, on her first Christmas as a mom

She spent the year caring for everyone else, so a shirt with her baby’s face is one thing just for her.

Dad, by the tree on Christmas morning

When he’s holding the baby for the photo, his shirt carries a second copy of that laugh.

Grandma with the ornament collection

If she’s already started the ornament collection, this lets her bring the baby to every holiday gathering on the calendar.

Grandpa, who shows everyone at church

He’s going to show the baby off regardless, which means the photo may as well be on his chest instead of in his wallet.

A daughter for her parents’ first grandbaby

Handing Mom and Dad matching crewnecks is an easy way to say welcome to grandparenting.

Friends who just had a baby

Instead of another blanket, they get something the new parents can wear in their own Christmas card photo.

Start the first Christmas shirt

Most orders go to the grown-ups, who get to show off the baby. Big brothers and sisters can join the photo on a 9018 youth tee or a Rabbit Skins 3326 toddler hoodie. Shopping for the family?

The grandparent gift ideas page has more photo picks for new grandparents.

Ordering a custom Christmas tee with the baby’s photo

Pick a tee, long sleeve, crewneck or hoodie and the wearer’s size.
Choose a shirt color. White lettering comes standard.
Upload the baby photo. Head-and-shoulders or waist-up in everyday clothes or pajamas works best; we don’t print bath or swim pictures. Your baby replaces the sample.
Add a note on who’s pictured and any crop request. Example: Baby Nora, crop close on face.

Why the grown-ups should wear the baby this year

Most first Christmas gear only comes in baby sizes, so the adults get nothing
Baby photos stay on the phone while everyone keeps asking to see them
Grandparent gifts tend to be one more frame for a crowded shelf

A baby’s first Christmas belongs to the whole family, especially the people holding the camera. MY FIRST in tall white letters above the baby’s black-and-white photo and CHRISTMAS below, so a picture from last week looks like it came from an old family album.

New moms tend to live in the crewneck or hoodie that first winter, so those are popular picks here.

Can I change MY FIRST CHRISTMAS?

No, the words are fixed. You send the photo, and you can tell us how you’d like it cropped.

Do you make this in baby sizes?

Not in infant sizes. The smallest option is the Rabbit Skins 3326 toddler hoodie in 2T to 5/6T, with a 9018 youth tee in XS to XL for older kids. Mom, Dad and the grandparents choose a tee, long sleeve, crewneck or hoodie.

Are there photo rules?

Use your own photos, with the baby in everyday clothes or pajamas, head-and-shoulders or waist-up. We don’t print bath or swim shots. We also refuse celebrities, rappers, public figures, logos, brands, team marks and characters, and those orders are canceled and refunded.
