This year, we definitely need a lot of Jewish light. Yes, Hanukkah may still be a month away, starting on Dec. 14 this year, but we could all use some Jewish retail therapy right now. That means it’s time to get your family their Hanukkah pajamas.
I am a huge fan of Hanukkah merch — I love Hanukkah sweaters and decorations, and am an even bigger fan of Hanukkah PJs! After all, for a typically home-based holiday that’s all about a jug of oil lasting eight nights, you certainly need some comfy nighttime attire.
I have spent many years of my career curating Hanukkah pajama offerings from around the internet, and it does fill me with Jewish joy to see that there are more delightful, and even some more colorful, Hanukkah pajama options out there these days. While I do wish we had even more color options (most brands still lean very heavily on navy and other shades of blue), it’s nice that small and big brands alike have made making Hanukkah pajamas a yearly tradition, especially at a time when a lot of us want to celebrate Jewish pride. This year brings with it some fun additions, like Hanukkah animals rushing to a latke party and some very stylish offerings from big brands like Anthropologie and Aerie.
So, without further ado, here is a pretty comprehensive list of all the Hanukkah pajamas available this year, including matching pairs for the whole family.
So put on your pajamukkahs — it’s almost time for Hanukkah!

Hanukkah Pajamas for the Whole Family
The tie-dye touch in these new Hanukkah pajamas from Midrash Manicures is subtle but vibrant. The dark blue color of the fabric perfectly compliments these colorful menorahs, dreidels and Stars of David that are filled with a technicolor tie-dye print.
The 100% cotton is super soft and comfortable, though I would recommend sizing up, as the site suggests. Last year's Hanukkah splatter pajamas are also still available in most sizes. For the sake of full disclosure, I will say that the creator behind the brand, Rabbi Yael Buechler, has been gifting her holiday pajamas to my kids and they are absolutely their favorite nightwear year-round.

Dreidels with all four letters and the wonderful reliable quality of a Monica + Andy pajama set.
This isn't the first Fair Isle print Hanukkah pajama option in the world (and it's not even the only one on this list!) but I do love the touches of color on this print and the sweet peaceful faces on the dreidels!
This year's Hanna Andersson's Hanukkah offering gives us several different types of pajamas for our holiday photos. It's giving discordant but stylish. You can go with some colorful dreidels and Stars of David, adult pajamas that are blue and yellow with kosher menorahs or a blue pajama with little white sparks that simply evoke the idea of Hanukkah. Up to you!
I adore the fun scribbly style of this Hanukkah pajama print from Old Navy. We have kosher menorahs, dreidels and enough presents for way more than eight nights.
Tagless bamboo pajamas with a sweet sufganiyot print.
I'm a sucker for a glow in the dark pajama! Hanukkah is all about spreading light through the darkness, after all.
Ignore the name on this listing — if you've always dreamed of wearing onesies to match your little ones, look no further than these one-piece Hanukkah pajamas that come in every size for every member of your family. The butt flap is honestly ridiculous and great for a humorous photoshoot.
I love that this company is called Lev, the Hebrew word for heart. Their Hanukkah print features the standard dreidels and menorahs, and a little bit of an unusual blue frosted sufganiyah (jelly doughnut). Aside from pajamas, they also have other Hanukkah wares, like blankets and pet bandanas and a very cute dreidel Hanukkah lovey.
Not only are these pajamas full of color, but they feature incredibly appetizing latkes and sufganiyot, and most importantly of all, the Hanukkah staple that is the dinosaur menorah. There's just something to pajamas designed by a Jewish person who is fully embedded in the Jewish merch market and knows what's up.
Is there anything that projects coziness more than a Fair Isle print? I think not! These Hanukkah pajamas are made out of 100% cotton, and are simple and comfortable.
A simple and straightforward (some would even say, honest) Hanukkah print for the whole family.
If I had all the expendable income in the world, would I spend almost $120 on a single pair of pajamas? I don't know... but I have to say that these Joy Street Hanukkah pajamas are so up my alley as a "more is more" type of person, I might just consider it!
This set has a scribbly, whimsical Hanukkah print with so much on it — gifts, doughnuts, gelt, a jar of oil, a menorah, applesauce, the lyrics from "Oh Hanukkah," the Hebrew letters of the dreidel with their transliteration and more. It also has some decidedly non-Hanukkah elements like a pomegranate and a shofar (also a challah, but Hanukkah and Shabbat always coincide at least once so that can be forgiven), but if you love to celebrate all aspects of being Jewish, this is a fun pair to wear year-round, especially considering the high price point.
My kids have sensitive skin and we love Primary's clothes because they never seem to irritate. I'm also obsessed with their gender-neutral approach to clothing, and with these super cute rainbow menorah pajamas.
I love Hanukkah cookies and the ones on these bamboo pajamas are absolutely *chef's kiss.* Check out that Hanukkah house! Their new Fair Isle print (Fair Isle is going strong this year!) is also a 10/10 with cute sufganiyot, latkes and gelt.
The frilliest family Hanukkah pajamas around. I love the illustrated, colorful details on these.
A very basic and cozy design from Target this year. We're missing the 2023 Hanukkah lions, but this will do!
DreamLet has two lovely Hanukkah prints this season, one with bows and one with pets, including a very cute dog dressed in his winter best delivering your kids' Hanukkah present. Love it.
Hanukkah Pajamas for Kids
Rumor has it that if you have a baby celebrating their first Hanukkah, they need pants with dreidels on the butt.
Look at all these animals rushing to light their menorahs! I'm obsessed.
Oh my goodness! I just love these joyful cartoony patterns from Clover Baby, which feature the most animated dancing latkes. Perfect for that Hanukkah dance party.
The Llamakkah pun — which combines the word Hanukkah with the South American mammal — has become a modern staple when it comes to Hanukkah gear, from cards to sweaters. No one really knows where it originated, but as a lover of both llamas and Hanukkah, I am here for it!
These pajamas have a llama print on the bottoms and an adorable llama on the top. You can get a boy or a girls version — the boy (?!) llama has glasses and a bow tie and the girl (?!) llama has a bow in her ear and a scarf. I do believe neither are a scientifically accurate portrayal of male and female llamas, but they are pretty darn cute!
They're pajamas and an art project — in other words, an ideal Hanukkah present! These pajamas come with a set of fabric markers you can use to color the dreidels on the shirt (or wherever else your budding artist decides to draw). They come in sizes 3 to 12.
I love florals and Hanukkah and these lovely pajamas, which come in both babies and kids sizes. They're so full of pretty details that I can almost forgive them for the traditional color scheme.
Is that menorah kosher? I don't care because this cute illustration of sufganiyah with a kippah on it has won my heart!
Want some Jewish pajamas you can wear on Hanukkah and beyond, that go way beyond just yellows and blues, because being Jewish is the entire rainbow? These super colorful "I Like Your Chutzpah" pajamas from Jewish author and illustrator Suzy Ultman are perfect for just that.
Gap are giving us these cute pastel menorahs for Hanukkah this year and I can't be mad about it.
Hanukkah Pajamas for Adults
A Hanukkah adult onesie from the partly Jewish team at Tipsy Elves! This one has pockets, which, as we know, make every piece of clothing 200% better.
Look at Aerie entering the Hanukkah pajama market with an adorable and oh-so-soft design with a dainty dreidel, heart and bow. These one will make you feel like you're in a Hanukkah romance novel.
Another romantic Hanukkah pajamah that makes me feel like sitting in a snowed-in home and snacking on leftover latkes while pining for a NJB (that's a Nice Jewish Beau/Belle).
Many a fancy person swear by Eberjey pajamas. I think this Hanukkah print is a little on the basic side but I'm sure it feels like heaven. I'm also very tempted by their cat pajamas — and I don't even have a cat.
