25 of the Cutest Christmas Stockings for Baby

Baby’s first Christmas is such a special and sentimental time for every new parent. The first Christmas as an extended family!

This is a time when we, as parents, start introducing our little new baby to beautiful Christmas traditions, such as taking a photo with Santa, making some Christmas ornaments, or getting your baby their very first Christmas stocking to fill with a lot of little presents. Your baby might only have the photos you take to remember these special moments, but you will definitely enjoy them and always hold them close to your heart.

If you are looking for some of the best stocking ideas for babies to celebrate this Christmas, you’ve come to the right place! I have rounded up here some the absolute cutest Christmas stockings for babies, including Christmas stockings specific for baby boys or baby girls, Christmas stocking for infants and baby stockings that can be personalized with your baby’s name and/or photo.

The beautiful thing is that most of these baby stockings below can also be re-used as your baby gets older, so that you can keep remembering your baby’s first Christmas as the years go by.

The Cutest Christmas Stocking for Baby’s First Christmas

Here’s the list of stocking ideas for babies. You will find gender neutral stockings first, followed by ideas for baby girls and then baby boys, and personalized baby stockings at the end.

1) Peanuts Stocking and Hat Set

This peanuts stocking and hat set is one of my favorites and it will make it the perfect keepsake for the Christmas holidays. It includes a hat (for babies 0-12 months) together with a very cute stocking featuring Peanut and the words “My First Christmas” embroidered on both the stocking and hat.

The stocking is made of polyester and it’s about 12″ tall.

2) Giraffe Baby’s First Christmas Stocking

I also love the design of this giraffe Christmas stocking, with the feet and tail hanging from the bottom. While you might think this is more of a baby boy stocking, I think it would be perfect for either a boy or a girl. I actually find this to be especially cute as a Christmas stocking for newborns.

It is made of felt fabric materials and it’s quite tall, measuring 22″ diagonally, meaning you can fill it with a lot of stocking stuffer for babies.

3) Mini crochet Christmas stockings

These very cute mini crochet stockings would make perfect Christmas stockings for infants, if you’ve had your baby very close to Christmas.

They are made with 100% acrylic yarn and are only 10″ tall. You can choose one of the following colors: crimson red, soft sage or white winter. However, if you contact the seller, she’s open to making a stocking for you of a different color.

One thing to be mindful with this item is the turnaround time: they are made as orders come through and you could be waiting up to 6 weeks before receiving them. So, make sure you place your order in time if you want it to be delivered for Christmas!

4) Bear Baby Stocking

I just love this incredibly detailed stocking with bear on top: it is all hand embroidered and the design is particularly cute. The downside is that it is more expensive compared to other stockings: you pay for the quality and detail.

This baby stocking can be personalized with your baby’s name if you wish, and it’s 18″ tall.

5) Rainbow Baby Christmas Stocking

Here’s another super cute little baby stocking, perfect for baby’s first Christmas if you have an infant or newborn during the holiday season. It is a little bit bigger than what you’d think, measuring 15″ high.

This rainbow baby stocking is made with acrylic yarn and features a rainbow on top with a wooden beaded tassel. You can also choose whichever color you want when you place the order.

6) Velvet Stocking

If you prefer something more simple and plain, yet still very beautiful, this velvet stocking is for you. It’s made with white velveteen and baby pink sequins on top and it measures approximately 21″, so it’s quite big.

You have a few choices when customizing this baby stocking:

• You can choose between left or right facing stockings.
• You can choose the embellishment of your choice: the photo below shows a little heart, but you can actually choose amongst 44 different embellishments.
• You can add a tag with your child’s name at an extra cost, and you can choose the font for the name. Just be mindful that the turnaround for the extra tag is approximately 2 weeks, as they sent it to professional embroiderers for monogramming.

7) Knitted Reindeer Stocking

This knitted reindeer stocking from thetot.com just makes me smile when I look at it! It is knitted from 100% organic cotton and has a minimalist reindeer design with a red pom pom nose.

It is approximately 24.8″ tall.

8) Newborn Baby Christmas Stocking Sleeping Bag

Want to go the extra mile and do something super special for your baby’s first Christmas? Then check out this newborn baby Christmas stocking,, that you can actually use as a sleeping bag for your baby and take the cutest Christmas baby photos.

The stocking also includes a hand-knitted crochet hat to put on your baby’s head and, together with the stocking, the set fits babies that are 0-3 months old. The back of the stocking opens up though, so you can also fit a 3 months old who’s a bit bigger than the average.

The baby stocking is 18″ long and 10″ wide.

This baby stocking is 15.7″ long. Plus, be aware that it comes from Cyprus, so make sure to order in time and allow enough time for shipment if you are ordering from the US.

If you are a big fan of Disney characters, Mickey Mouse in particular, you will enjoy this Disney Mickey Mouse baby stocking with your baby’s name on it.

21) Customizable Baby Stocking

Here’s another personalized baby stocking where you can choose amongst different designs. You could even get a different design for each member of the family, not just for baby!

I don’t particularly love all of these designs. Santa, for example, is not one of my favorites. But I really like the bear.

You can choose the color and font of the name and, if you want to buy it as a gift, a handwritten gift card is also available at no additional cost.
