Parents often want their kids to wear super cute, festive, and picture-ready outfits during the holidays, but we also know that their kids will inevitably smear cherry pie from forehead to shins the second they get the chance. So much for that expensive outfit you scoured 27 sites looking for. Or, they’ll deem it “too itchy,” “too scratchy,” “too tight” or “too loose” or too… something…at noon on the holiday itself. Throw in any cooking assignments you may have and it’s well, a recipe for disaster. (Even if you’re cooking an easy Thanksgiving recipe. Like the cheese board.)

So here’s the solve. You can still dress your kids in something holiday-themed that will hopefully make Great-Aunt Martha happy and make for an IG-worthy snap, but you can also ensure your kids will be comfortable and able to run around and play (thereby reducing your meltdown chances substantially).

Here are our fave Thanksgiving outfits for kids—from newborn up—that are cute, comfy, and sure to make all your relatives say “awwww” when your fam arrives at Grandma’s for this fall’s holiday dinner.
