Personalized Custom Christmas Besties Shirt with Your Photo

This Christmas besties shirt is a personalized custom holiday tee, long sleeve, crewneck or hoodie with MERRY in tall white letters, one photo of you and your best friend in the middle, and BESTIES running underneath. It’s for the two friends who have their own December traditions.

Upload your photo together

What kind of photo looks best?

The sample shows two friends bundled in pom beanies and chunky scarves, laughing in the snow while one nearly spills a mug of marshmallow cocoa. That’s the mood, but your picture doesn’t need snow.

A selfie on the couch in pajamas, the two of you at the tree lot, or last year’s holiday party all work. Pick one where both faces are clear and fairly close together.

We tone the picture to grayscale, which lets the white MERRY and BESTIES lettering stand out on every shirt color, from a deep red to a soft ivory.

Personalize the holiday tee in four steps

Select a tee, long sleeve, crewneck or hoodie, then your size.
Pick the shirt color. Order two in different colors if you like.
Upload one photo of the two of you. It replaces the sample picture.
Add crop notes in the text box. For example: crop to us, leave out the dog. MERRY and BESTIES stay as they are.

Why a photo tee beats matching Christmas pajamas

Matching holiday pajamas look the same on every family in the feed
Christmas gifts for a best friend tend to be candles and fuzzy socks
Secret Santa price limits push you toward something forgettable

Best friends tend to remember the December nights together, not the presents they swapped. MERRY and BESTIES in tall white letters frame one grayscale photo of you two, so even a pajama selfie on the couch reads clean on deep red or soft ivory.

Best friend Christmas gift ideas this fits

She’s the friend who has a whole December routine with her best friend: the tree lot, the cookie night, the same bad holiday movie every year. She starts shopping in early November for something they can both wear to it, and store-bought matching pajamas already feel done.

Your best friend, plus one for you

Get a pair and wear them to the tree lot on Christmas Eve, because one MERRY BESTIES shirt on its own looks a little lonely.

Your Secret Santa pick

If you drew your favorite person at the office swap, a shirt with your photo together beats the mug everyone else is wrapping.

A sister who’s your bestie

She’ll wear it to Christmas morning at your parents’ house, which means the family photo has a quiet inside joke in it.

The winter break friend

When you only see each other for one week in December, the shirt turns that week into the tradition.

Two moms from preschool pickup

You met in the car line and never stopped texting, so a holiday tee with your coffee-run selfie fits better than a gift card.

Start your Merry Besties tee

As a matching bff outfit it photographs well at holiday brunch, and it keeps getting worn every December after that.

Merry besties FAQ

Can the photo be of three friends?

Yes, as long as everyone is close together. The text still reads BESTIES, so it suits a tight trio best.

Is the lettering red or green?

No, MERRY and BESTIES print in clean white. The holiday color comes from the shirt color you pick.

Our photo has us in character pajamas. Is that OK?

Not if the character is clearly visible. We don’t print characters, logos, brand names, celebrities, rappers or other famous faces. Send your own picture; orders including that content are canceled and refunded in full.

More for the season is in our Christmas shirts, and year-round designs are in shirts for best friends.
