I’ll never get tired of buying themed pajamas for my kids, and Halloween might be my favorite season for them. It’s such an easy way to make the start of fall feel a little special, especially when it’s still way too warm outside to actually dress like fall. This year, there are some really cute options for less than $20. Here are my picks for everyone from tiny baby sleepers to bigger kids.
Carter’s Child of Mine Halloween Sleep ’N Play — $9 at Walmart
These little trick-or-treaters are my favorite of the season, and this is the one I actually bought. We’ve been loving it. The ivory print is festive without being overly bright, and the soft viscose fabric is lightweight enough to start wearing before the weather really cools down. It comes in sizes from preemie through 6–9 months. If you’re buying Halloween pajamas for a baby this year, I’d start here. There's a matching toddler version, too.
Carter’s Child of Mine ComfySoft Halloween Sleep ’N Play — $10 at Walmart
I can’t get over this pink print with witch’s brooms, bubbling cauldrons and black cats.
It has all the fun of a Halloween print without all the orange and black, and the soft pink makes it especially sweet for a baby. The stretchy viscose-blend fabric is another good option for those early fall nights when it doesn’t actually feel much like fall yet.
Carter’s Child of Mine Halloween Pajama Shorts Set — $12 at Walmart
If October where you live still feels a lot like summer, this little button-down set is a great compromise. The black Halloween print feels classic, while the collared shirt and matching shorts make it look a little more pulled together than the typical T-shirt set. It comes in sizes 12 months through 5T. I especially like this one for spooky-season movie nights.
Carter’s Child of Mine “Ghosting Bedtime” Pajama Set — $9 at Walmart
“Ghosting bedtime” feels extremely appropriate for certain members of my household.
This two-piece set is simple, funny and only $9. The long sleeves and pants also make it one of the better choices on this list once evenings finally start getting cooler.
Art Class Cowboy Skeleton Button-Down Pajama Set — $18 at Target
These might be the coolest pajamas on the list. The black short-sleeve button-down and shorts are covered in little white skeletons wearing pink cowboy hats and boots, with ruffle trim around the sleeves and shorts. It’s Halloween, but a little unexpected. This one also comes in kids’ sizes rather than baby and toddler sizing, so bigger kids don’t have to miss out on the good Halloween prints.
Carter’s Just One You Monster Truck Halloween 4-Piece Pajama Set — $17 at Target
For the kid who would choose monster trucks over pumpkins every time, this set manages to do both. You get four pieces for $17, which makes this one of the better values in the roundup. The pajamas are 100% cotton, and the Halloween monster-truck print is a fun alternative to the usual ghosts and jack-o’-lanterns. It comes in baby and toddler sizes from 12 months through 5T.
Cat & Jack Halloween Bat Pajamas — $12 at Target
Sometimes the simplest print is the one I like best. This black-and-cream bat print feels graphic and easy. It’s a two-piece long-sleeve set in a soft, stretchy fabric and comes in sizes 12 months through 5T. For $12, this is an easy one to add to the fall pajama rotation without feeling like you bought something they can only wear on Halloween night.
Seasonal kids’ clothes can get out of hand quickly, which is why I like that every pair here is under $20 (and several are closer to $10). One really cute pair of pajamas, a stack of Halloween books and a movie night on the couch can make October feel a little more magical.
