Best Christmas jumpers for children 2020: festive knits to get into the seasonal spirit

Date for your diary: December 11 is annual Christmas Jumper Day.

Save The Children is encouraging people of all ages to wear their best seasonal knit to school, work or just about anywhere and donate £2 to help with its festive fundraising.

There is no better reason to treat your little ones to a very seasonal sartorial addition. Not only will it help you give back to those who need it most, but it will work wonders in getting the whole family into the festive spirit and fully embrace the most magical time of the year.

A staple part in the annual celebrations, we have gathered the best Christmas jumpers for kids.

Red Dinosaur Christmas Jumper for Kids

Set to be a bestseller this Christmas, the Natural History Museum Shop dinosaur jumper has already had the seal of approval from kids everywhere. The piece is adorned with a T.Rex that has been given the festive treatment, encouraging you to get ‘roaring around the Christmas tree’.  The eco-conscious composition is vegan and crafted from organic cotton and recycled polyester, while the design itself has been printed in the UK using water-based inks. It is available for children aged three to 14 but there are adult sizes too so you don’t have to miss out on the dino-mite design.
