Santa Hats & Christmas Costumes
7 products found
Something shifts at a Christmas gathering the moment the first Santa hat goes on. The room gets louder, the photos get better and even the most reluctant guest finds themselves smiling. Our Santa hats and Christmas costumes are built around these nostalgic moments, starting with soft plush hats and carrying through to sparkly caps or a full Santa suit that turn an ordinary gathering into part of the celebration. A Christmas hat is the smallest piece of festive dress-up there is and it does the most due to its instant visual impact. Easy to pack, easy to share and happy to be passed around the table, explore our curated collection of Santa hats and Christmas cosumes online or in-store today at Target Australia.
Santa Hats & Christmas Hats for Every Age
A Santa hat is at its best when everyone at the table is wearing one. A plush Christmas hat is soft, warm and instantly recognisable, while a sparkly Christmas hat catches the light from the tree and a musical Christmas hat announces its wearer before they have even reached the door. Christmas hats suit each and every age as the toddler wears theirs slightly crooked, the grandparent wears theirs with pride and both end up in the same photograph! A Santa hat or Christmas hat that fits well stays put through the games, the lunch and the long, lazy afternoon that follows. Keep a few spares beside the Christmas tree and nobody gets left out.
Christmas Costumes for the Big Day
Every family has a Santa, even if nobody quite remembers who volunteered. A Santa costume turns an ordinary afternoon into the one the children talk about for years, with a red suit, a hearty laugh and a very convincing entrance once the presents are ready for giving. In an Australian summer it takes real commitment, which is exactly why it is remembered so fondly. Not up for a Santa suit this year? Our Christmas costumes also come out for school concerts, work parties or street carol nights and a good one gets worn again the following year. Light layers underneath keep Santa comfortable or Christmas carolers cool and a cold drink waiting by the door helps too.
Christmas Dress Up for Parties and Photos
Christmas dress up doesn't need to be elaborate to feel special. A novelty cap on a party guest, a plush hat on a toddler and a Santa suit on the host are enough to turn a group photo into one worth framing. Matching Christmas hats around the whole table make the picture that travels around the family group chat for days. Add a few Christmas table decorations and the spread instantly looks planned, even if it came together in ten minutes. Years later, those photographs are the ones that get pulled out every December, long after the Christmas hats have been worn soft and the Santa suit is passed on for a new tradition.

Santa Hats and Christmas Costumes FAQs
How do you keep a Santa hat from sliding off?
To keep your Santa hat from sliding off, make sure to tuck the brim just behind the ears and the hat sits snugly. A couple of bobby pins can help to keep it in place through the games and for small children a soft chin strap or ties will stay on far longer than a loose fit.
What should you wear under a Santa costume in the summer heat?
If you're looking to commit to the complete Santa costume this year, light layers and breathable fabrics will be your best friend. A thin cotton tee and shorts underneath keep a Santa costume comfortable through a long lunch. Take the jacket off between photos if the day heats up and keep a glass of water close by so you can continue spreading Christmas cheer while keeping cool and comfortable.
How do you care for Christmas hats and costumes?
To clean Christmas hats or Christmas costumes, we recommend checking the care label first. For small marks or stains, spot clean plush trim with a damp cloth and mild soap and dry it flat, since heat can flatten the fluff. Then, store the costume folded in a bag so it is ready to go next year.
What are easy Christmas dress up ideas for a work party?
For Christmas dress-up ideas to attend a work party, we recommend keeping it light and easy this year. A Christmas hat or a novelty cap does the job without getting in the way of the buffet. Agree on one simple theme with the team and everyone will join in without needing a full costume.
