Matching sweaters were last year. This personalized custom couple christmas photo shirt prints your own holiday picture in black and white, with both first names over the top and MERRY AND BRIGHT underneath in white.
Order a tee, long sleeve, crewneck or hoodie for each of you and the family photo is handled.
Which photo works best on a couple Christmas photo shirt?
Close, happy and with a few lights behind you. In our sample, Mia and James sit by the tree in reindeer knit sweaters, her leaning back into him, both cracking up at something off camera.
Send the one from the tree farm, the cookie decorating night or last year’s holiday party. Both faces should be clear and not cut off at the edge.
Ordering steps
- Add a shirt for each of you, picking tee, long sleeve, crewneck or hoodie and sizes.
- Choose shirt colors.
- Upload one holiday photo per shirt. The tree-side sample couple is swapped for you.
- Type both names in the text box. Example: Mia & James.
Why your holiday photo beats matching pajamas
- Matching Christmas pajamas get one photo and go back in a drawer
- Couples’ holiday sweaters all look like the same reindeer pattern
- The cute December photo gets buried under a hundred family pictures
Even the guy who hates matching will wear his own Christmas photo. Both first names run across the top over your black and white holiday photo, with MERRY AND BRIGHT below in white, so the shirt reads like a vintage Christmas card.
Upload the same photo and names on both, and you have matching couple tees for Christmas morning.
Gift list
A girlfriend is the classic buyer, with a boyfriend who insists he hates matching. She has a photo from the tree farm or the cookie night and figures he’ll wear it if his face and name are on it.
If he claims he hates matching, his own name and face usually change his mind by Christmas morning.
Getting his wife ready for the family photo is easier when the outfit is already sorted.
It’s one gift that covers two people, which solves the hardest name in the office draw.
Their first December together gets its own shirt instead of the same plaid everyone wears.
She can order a pair for her and her fiance, so the holiday dinner photo has a little joke in it.
When his girlfriend is done with plaid pajamas, this is the swap that still matches.

How long does holiday shipping take?
We print in 1–3 business days, then USPS delivers in 3–5 business days with tracking. That’s about 4–8 business days, and December mail can run slower, so the December 5 date above is the one to beat. More on our shipping page.

Couple christmas shirt FAQ
Can the bottom line say something else?
No. It always reads MERRY AND BRIGHT. You choose the photo and names.
Does a photo without Christmas decor work?
Yes. Any clear photo of you two works, holiday or not.
Can we add a holiday movie character?
No. Movie characters, celebrities, rappers, famous couples, logos, brand names and team marks are all off limits. Use a holiday photo you took or may share. A Christmas order with any of that is canceled and refunded.
Do you make matching Christmas shirts for couples in different styles?
Yes. Add one shirt per person, so he can wear the hoodie while you take the crewneck. Upload the same photo and type the same names on both and the pair will match.
