Ho, ho, ho and welcome to our epic guide on dressing up as the one and only, Santa Claus, otherwise known as Father Christmas. There’s no denying that Santa is the star of the show every December, so why not celebrate his greatness this festive season and become his daring double? It may seem easy to dress like the big man, but if you’re going to do it, you need to do it properly. Read on for our step-by-step guide on Santa fancy dress! 😊
The first step in this guide is all about looking like Santa. Ask any little one and they’ll instantly know the answer to this. However, it’s important we cover all the basics! Santa is famous for his bright red attire, his oversized belly and his grey beard- so you’re going to need to look the part. Here’s all you need to know when it comes to creating that iconic Santa fancy dress look:
The main component to Santa’s look is his suit; made up of a red and white top and matching pair of trousers. Santa’s top is long sleeved to help keep him warm during those cold, winter nights and a pair of trousers that are equally as warm. Don’t forget to put on his signature black and gold buckle belt to help keep in all those mince pies!
Another component to complete Santa’s look is his round belly. Whilst we may wonder how he’s able to fit down the chimney, he needs a lot of energy in the form of mince pies. Delivering millions and millions of gifts on Christmas eve isn’t an easy task! To achieve this, either bulk up yourself, or use a handy belly stuffer accessory.
Whilst we’re on the topic of gifts, if a child has been extra good this year, he’ll want to give them more than one present. To ensure the gifts don’t get lost, or in the wrong hands, he relies on his trusty Santa sack.
Now that we’ve covered Santa’s actual costume, what about the accessories? Not only does his hat keep his head and ears warm on Christmas eve, the Santa hat is an iconic accessory that can be worn either with Santa costume, or on its own. Santa becomes instantly recognisable with this accessory!
The final piece to complete the ultimate Santa look is his white, curly beard. It’s a key piece that you need to add; it simply can’t be left out. After all, Santa is famous for his beard!
Now that you look the part, it’s time for you to put your acting skills to the test and nail those Santa mannerisms! Santa is the happiest person on earth, so you’re going to need to channel your inner ‘child excited about Christmas’ to pull it off. Here are some tips on how to act like the main man himself:
The next section in our Santa fancy dress guide is all the reasons why you’d dress up as the jolly fellow. Whilst you may just love Santa and want to look like him without any hidden agenda, there’s often an occasion why you’d need to dress up as the king of festivities! We’ve listed some of the them below:
If you’re taking part in a Christmas performance this year, as a teacher at a school, or even your local theatre, then you’re going to need a great Santa outfit to look the part. Hopefully by the end of the show, everyone will feel that Christmas spirit!
If you have children and want to win the award of the best parent of the year, or even fancy surprising your grandchildren, Santa fancy dress will certainly bring that festive cheer. All children get so exciting at this time of year, so why not make their day and become the friendliest and happiest man on the planet?
Are you heading out on a night out with friends? Swap your t-shirt and jeans for something more festive. Christmas nights out are always a laugh, and even more so when you dress up! Have you ever seen a parade of Santa Claus impersonators bar hopping in town? That could be you this year.
Another occasion where you might want to dress up as Santa is at your upcoming Christmas work party. After a stressful year, why not find your inner Santa and spread joy to your colleagues at your office party amongst all the paperwork that’s left to file!
Christmas isn’t just about receiving, it’s about giving, too. If you’re taking on the role as the leading man at your local charity event, then you’re going to need to look convincing! Raise money for a fantastic cause this festive season.
The final reason on why you might dress up as Santa is if you’re working at your local shopping centre, in your own Santa’s grotto. It’s a great way to make the kids happy and put in their requests for Christmas day. The question is, will you know who’s been good and who hasn’t this year? For this Santa fancy dress idea, you’re going to need an realistic outfit that looks very convincing.
We all know that Santa Claus loves the colour red, has a big belly, adores mince pies and relies on his reindeers to help deliver all the gifts on time for Christmas day. However, the traditional Santa Claus has a long history, steeped in Christmas traditions dating back to the 3rd century.
Let’s go back a few hundred years ago to a monk named St. Nicholas. St Nicholas was admired by many for his kindness for giving away his wealth to the poor and the sick. Over the course of the years, St Nicholas became more and more popular, known as the protector of children and sailors. Since then, the story of St Nicholas then evolved into something much bigger and greater over the years, travelling across the Atlantic to what we know today as New York City.
Santa Claus in today’s world is known under so many different names, depending on where you are in the world. From Father Christmas, to Santa Claus, to Saint Nicholas and Kris Kringle. He’s without a doubt the star of the show… The character’s identify represents so much more than just presents and children across the planet see him as an icon to look up to.
The next section in our guide is all about deciding on your Santa fancy dress budget. Of course, everyone will want to look like the best Santa, but that has a price. When it comes to choosing your Santa costume, it’s good to ask yourself the following:
We’re almost at the end of our Santa fancy dress guide, but before we finish, we have some fantastic Santa costume ideas for you, to suit various different occasions, styles and budgets.
Let’s face it, Santa has a lot of style and takes pride in his appearance. Does that sound like a man you aspire to be? You’ll make him proud in our Adult Plush Santa Costume. It’s a mid-range priced outfit that’s perfect for nights out, Christmas day lunches, or surprising the kids.
Time’s are hard and depending on the occasion, you might not need a top-end Santa costume. If you’re looking for something simple and affordable for a night out, this is the look for you. It still sports the same features, colours and style of any grand Santa suit, just with lower cost materials.
Christmas is all about having fun with loved ones, so why not make them laugh this Christmas in our unique and hilarious inflatable costume? Santa’s definitely had one too many mince pies this year, that’s for sure…
If you’re a stylish individual and want to live up to Santa’s well-dressed reputation, you’re going to need our high-end Santa costume. It’s a great choice if you’re taking part in a theatre production or play. It’s also ideal when meeting kids at a local shopping centre and playing the role in a grotto. You’ll leave every child questioning whether you’re the real Santa Claus!
We’ve made it to the end of our ultimate Santa fancy dress guide. You should now be all set for Christmas, ready to surprise your kids, family, or even steal the show at this year’s theatre production. No matter what the occasion, you’re going to be the best Santa anyone has ever seen! Go and show them who’s boss, and don’t forget our tips and tricks on how to act like Mr Claus. Happy Christmas!

Hello and welcome to our ultimate adults Christmas costume ideas guide. Whether you’re dressing up for your kids or want to look your best at your work party, we’re here for you. Christmas is the time of year when everyone’s spirits are high, copious amounts of food and drink are consumed and many gifts are received and given. If there’s only one time of the year that you dress up, then it’s during the festive season!
We have traditional festive favourites, from Santa’s little helper the elf, Rudolph the red nose reindeer and the main man himself, Father Christmas. If you’re looking for a more comical factor and want to have your family and friends on the floor laughing, then add a bit of comedy value with our oversized bauble or pudding costumes. We’ve pulled together a list of the best adult Christmas costume ideas to get you party-ready. 😊
We’re starting off our Christmas costume ideas guide with the one and only, New York Elf. From Lapland to the big city, Elf is such a classic film that we love to watch year after year. Santa wouldn’t be able to make Christmas as spectacular without the help of his number one elf, Buddy. Inspired by the movie, you’ll be looking like the best elf there ever was in this costume. You’ll be hard at work mind, so don’t think you’ll be getting any sleep on Christmas eve! This outfit will be instantly recognised by everyone!
Become the man, the myth, the legend that is Father Christmas. He brings all the festive spirit and makes everyone happy on Christmas day. He's been keeping a close eye on those that have been good this year, so keep your eyes peeled, as you may receive an extra gift or two this year!
So, you have your Christmas tree sorted, and whilst it’s pretty amazing, it’ll need decorating to the max. You’ll want Santa to be really impressed by your tree when he comes down the chimney and leaves presents under the tree. Baubles need to be big; they need to be bright, and they need lots of glitter. Tinsel was sooo yesterday anyway! Ditch your Christmas dress for a Christmas bauble this year!
When you’ve had your Christmas lunch, you’re going to be rather full after all that turkey and potatoes, but there’s always room for a spot of Christmas pudding. It is Christmas after all! Whether you choose to drizzle your cake in custard or cream, the choice is yours. Dress up in our Christmas Pudding Costume at your family Christmas lunch and you’ll get everyone into the festive spirit.
When we think of Christmas, the first animal that comes to mind are penguins. They love to slide into Christmas on their tummies, as they glide gracefully on the ice. Swap the glide for the waddle after all those mince pies this Christmas, as you step out of Antarctica to celebrate with your loved ones. This is a classic Christmas costume idea that can be used for any event.
No Christmas dinner would be complete without a juicy roast turkey… even if they do take hours to cook in the oven! Smoother your turkey in the brown delight that is gravy and take a bite of that crispy outer skin. If the shops sell out of turkey this year, then there’s no other alternative than to dress up as a giant turkey! Kids will love it and you’ll be the centre of attention at the dinner table. Not sure they’ll be happy eating you though…
Christmas wouldn't be the same without a 6ft something, tall green tree in the corner of your living room. Have fun decorating the tree, and if you're lucky, you might even get the chance to put on the star at the top! Our Adult Inflatable Christmas Tree Costume is such a fun outfit idea, that's perfect for Christmas day with the family, or a night out with friends.
What’s the first thing you want to do when it snows heavily? Build a snowman of course! You’re going to need a carrot, some chocolate buttons, or raisins and an old scarf. This year, the traditional snowman has most certainly changed as there’s a new sexy snowman in town. Who ever said snowmen can’t be a little naughty?
Santa wouldn’t know where to begin with wrapping all those Christmas gifts, if it wasn’t for his little elves. They’re so helpful and ensure that Christmas is nothing less than perfect. Of course, there’s always one naughty little elf who loves to misbehave and take a lot of breaks when they’re meant to be working! Show your mischievous side this Christmas as a Naughty Elf. Elf on the Shelf is so last year…
It’s not just about Santa Claus, as his trusted partner and lover, Mrs Claus, supports him year after year. Mr and Mrs Claus make the perfect couple, and together, they’re unstoppable… Not to mention, they have the best job in the world. For all you power couples out there, why not dress up as Mr and Mrs Claus this festive season? It’s a Christmas costume idea that needs to introduction!
Christmas doesn’t have to be all about colourful pyjamas and big and bulky Christmas jumpers. For those of you who like to dress to impress, or if you’re heading out to dinner, then it’s time to slip into something a bit smarter, that’ll have you looking like the Christmas version of James Bond. You’ll be bringing a lot of festive cheer and joy wearing our Festive Opposuits! Check out the selection.
Over a starter, or after your Christmas dinner, it’s tradition to pull a Christmas cracker with your family or friends. Some treats inside may consist of something useful like a pair of nail clippers, and some, slightly pointless, like a spinning wheel. Whatever you get, you’ll need to put on your paper crown and join in on the festivities. This oversized cracker costume is the way to go for any festive event where you want to stand out.
If you’re looking for a part-time job this Christmas and want to help Father Christmas deliver the goods, then there are a few elf roles on offer. You’ll need to be quick, thrive in fast-paced environments and love making pretty bows to go on top of the gifts! You can dress up in green and red and head down to Lapland this year, as Santa’s little helper. This adult Christmas costume idea is great for both girls and guys.
Comfort is key during Christmas… You’ll be eating until you roll on the floor and end up sleeping the whole afternoon, before the fun begins all over again! You’re going to need comfortable attire to do so, and plenty of room for all those extra potatoes and mince pies. Go off duty for a while on Christmas day and ditch those carrots for something a bit more filling, as you turn up wearing our Reindeer Onesie.
Who doesn’t like a good party at Christmas? For all you ladies out there, it can be quite tough to find a Christmas costume that fits like a glove and will still hug you in all the right places. Swap your frumpy big jumpers for a mini sequin Christmas dress. The question is, will you be an icy snowflake, a cheeky reindeer or Father Christmas? This is the go-to adult Christmas costume idea for nights out on the town.
If you fancy swapping your mundane day time job for something a little more exciting, and a little more royal, then the Three Wise Men is where it’s at! Pop on your glad rags and your crown jewels as you give the gift of myrrh to Jesus Christ this festive season. Of course, you can’t do this alone, so you’ll need two of your best mates to help you out!
So, there you have it, our ultimate adult’s Christmas costume idea guide for 2022. We hope you gained a few costume ideas for inspiration and get can ready for the festive season in style. If you weren’t able to find a costume that you liked, then be sure to check out our full list of Christmas costumes in our store area here.October 30, 2023

If you’ve ever fancied becoming the ultimate power couple and have others serve you hand to foot, then why not go as a Greek god and goddess couple? Ladies, you’ve finally got your prince Hercules! Whilst it’s not traditionally a scary Halloween costume like the others on the list, it still makes a fantastic couples Halloween costume. They’re easy to wear, comfortable and affordable. What’s not to love?
It’s time to grab your wand and cast a couple of spells this Halloween (especially to those that haven’t been the nicest to you this year!). Whether you’re looking to conjure up a new recipe, or want to defeat the darkest lord of all time, together you’ll be unstoppable this Halloween.
‘Hi, I’m Chucky, wanna play?’ Let’s forget about the cute little dolls we used to play with as a kid. Move over Barbie and Ken, as Chucky is in town! Slight possessed, slightly creepy, Chucky plays the freakish doll from the movie, Childs Play. One Chucky is bad enough, let alone two, so together, you’ll be double the trouble this Halloween!
If you and your partner are looking for something a little more this Halloween, why not together celebrate the lives of those who passed away, as part of the largest Mexican celebration, Día de Los Muertos. Grab the most floral outfit you can find ladies, and gents, pop on your suit and get painting your skull faces ready this Halloween! This theme is popular every single Halloween and it’s quickly gaining traction. There’s no denying, it looks awesome!
The next hit couples Halloween costume idea has to be the matching men and women’s Top Gun costumes. Pretend you’re in a film set from the movie, as you refine your flying skills in the air with each other. The classic is being imagined with a brand new Tom Cruise movie and we can’t wait to see it. This is another reason why this costume idea is right on trend. Question is, who will be the pilot and who will be the co-pilot?
In a land, far, far away, life may or may not exist, that’s only beyond our wildest dreams. If you’ve ever been intrigued to find out what life is out there, then you and your partner can team up and transform into astronauts for Halloween. Don’t forget to take your camera and get proof of life in the outer world! This classic NASA orange spacesuit look is our favourite. You won’t be missed on the dancefloor!
Is one of you as good as gold and the other a little bit of a rebel? Dress up to show it as you transform into a classic cop and convict. Put your partner in handcuffs and march them to the party. There’s a ton of different police and convict outfits to choose from so it’s completely up to you what look you go for.
Another classic character to dress up as for Halloween is a vampire. They sure love a bit of blood (from humans, of course) and hovering mysteriously in the dark. Cause double the trouble as you team up together as the ultimate Halloween power couple. Vampires can be creepy or sexy, so why not be both? Go all out in a full-blown costume or simply pop in some vampire fangs, apply fake blood and pop your collar. Just watch out for the garlic!
It’s time to roll up your sleeves and get ready to save the town this Halloween! Put on your mask and cape and get ready for action as you dress up as iconic couples from the superhero universe. We all know that Batman can go it alone, but he’s always better with a sidekick. Batman and Batgirl or Batman and Robin make a great Halloween couples costume. Other ideas include Superman and Supergirl, Spiderwoman and Spiderman, Black Panther and Shuri…
Ooooargh me hearties! It’s time to get on your hands and knees and get to work at scrubbing the decks nice and clean (otherwise you may run the risk of having to walk the plank!). Rule the seas with your partner and go on the hunt for some booty! Pirates is a theme that goes hand-in-hand with Halloween and any part you attend is sure to have other crew mates. Create your own costume and accessorise all you like or do ‘pirates’ on a grand scale with an all-in-one costume. This couples costume idea is great for any budget.
Are you looking to repay back any money that you owe? If so, enter the most deadliest game on planet earth, Squid Game and see how far you'll go. Whether you want to take on the role of one of the vulnerable players or one of the Front Man's loyal guards, you'll need to be thick skinned and not afraid of anything...these challenges are brutal!
We all know what happens when you say Beetlejuice three times! Why not do a good dead this Halloween and help a family reclaim back their beloved house, just like in the movie? Beetlejuice is pretty disgusting in both his habits and appearance, but he’s still loved by all, and the legend lives on every Halloween. Don the black and white striped outfit of this well-known Halloween character this October 31st!
Will you sway towards the dark side, or find your inner good? The two most powerful wizards in the wizarding world can't be any more different. Dumbledore will always remain the strongest, but as soon as Lord Voldemort grabs hold of the Elder Wand, things take a turn for the worst. Battle out with your friend this Halloween in the ultimate show down: Voldemort v Dumbledore.
Transform yourself and your bestie into freaky voodoo masters this Halloween and have fun controlling unruly party guests! The art of voodoo is being able to manipulate and harm others through the use of a mysterious doll and this ancient African practice has been adapted into popular movie characters. Dress up with traditional tribal decoration with the classic skull accessories, and you’ll be a voodoo priest or priestess in no time.
What’s that you can see lurking over in the distance? Straight out of Crystal Lake is the most feared movie serial killer of all time, Jason Voorhees. To make things even more frightening, his wife is joining in on the fun too. Mr and Mrs Voorhees make a classic couples Halloween costume, but the question is, who will dare to cross the lake and fear The Voorhees’ wrath?
Scary Halloween characters don’t always need to look scary at first glance. Morticia and Gomez Addams are the husband and wife duo from The Addams Family. They don’t look as scary as werewolves and clowns but you sure don’t want to get on the wrong side of them! Team up with your partner in crime as you glide across the dancefloor as the unusual but charming husband and wife. We can’t think of a better couples Halloween costume idea than these guys!
If you and your partner consider yourselves as being adventure seekers, then you’ll want to enter a land of mystery, evil queens and an overly happy Cheshire cat. As it’s Halloween, it’s not like the Disney movie with flowers and rainbows. Transform into an eerily dark version of the Tim Burton Alice in Wonderland, with evil versions of the Mad Hatter and Alice. Just watch out – you don’t want to get your heads chopped off!
Are you and your partner the ultimate jokers? Do you love to play pranks on your friends and family? Now’s the time to brush up on your best Halloween tricks (not treats) as you give yourself as makeover to become a jester and harlequin. Think bright colours, clown make-up and plenty of jumping around. You’ll need an animated character (or a few drinks) to pull this one off.
We all remember the tale of sweet, innocent Red Riding Hood, as she wanders through the woods to look after her poorly grandmother. Red Riding Hood is a good girl gone bad this Halloween, and is perhaps no longer afraid of the big bad wolf? Red and the Big Bad Wolf makes a great couples Halloween costume, and you can even add a bit of blood to your costumes to ‘goreify’ your look.
Straight out of Arkham Asylum, the oh so troublesome duo, The Joker and Harley Quinn. They’re on the loose and are ready to cause a stir in Gotham City! If you consider you and your partner to be the ‘baddest’ couple at the party, then Joker and Harley are an eccentric team of villains that you can’t ignore for your couples Halloween fancy dress. Get creative with colourful hair, temporary tattoos and fake weapons to really perfect the DC Comics character look.
Are you a bit on the mad side? Are you a lover of tea parties and a spot of afternoon tea with friends? Mad Hatter is the most mischievous character from Disney's Alice in Wonderland. He loves being a host, but above all, a mad host! Now that you've got your outfit sorted, get creative and nail down your best acting skills!
The next couples costume that’s fit for Halloween on our list is the Ghostbusters. If you have a fun Halloween activity planned and are exploring haunted house (or maybe an escape room?) then it’s time to put your skills to the test, as you hunt down creatures of the supernatural. Go for the classic look from the original movie or the new and colourful Ghostbusters outfits from the recent movies.
Head back to your school years and cheer on the team! Zombie costumes come in all shapes and sizes, but the Zombie Cheerleader and Football Player is a particularly excellent idea for couples. They may not have the energy to create an exciting game of football, but they’re bound to scare off the other players. Practice your best cheer routine and rock up to the party in these matching outfits!
We're heading back to the 1920s, a decade full of class, style and a lot of sass. You'll out dress all of the competition at your upcoming Halloween party, as you become the ultimate couples goals. Master the true 1920s attitude, and you're all set!
Nuns, The Pope, bishops and priests were never intended to be scary, but now Halloween has arrived, these religious professions have a new look! Feast your eyes on these scary costumes! Scary Mary and an undead Pope make terrifying costume ideas for couples that want to creep friends out. Walk up behind other party guests and wait until they turn around. Their reaction will keep you entertained all night long!
The final couples Halloween costume idea on our list is the classic doctor and nurse duo. Let’s face it, they are the real heroes, working day in and day out. For one night, and for one night only on October 31st, they transform into frightening characters that you’d never trust with a needle or surgeon kit. Add lots of fake blood to transform this simple but effective outfit into something that’s fitting for Halloween.
That concludes our list of the top 30 Halloween couples costumes. We hope you found some costume inspiration for you and your partner, but if you haven’t, you needn’t worry as we have plenty more costume ideas for you to check out here.

In addition to all the dressing up ideas you can find in this theme, there’s plenty of opportunity for cool decorations and party games too! Why not create a carnival in your back garden?
What to dress as: Evil clowns, ringmasters, circus performers and The Greatest Showman characters.
One of our personal favourites for a Halloween party theme is a trend that has blown up in the past few years is Day of the Dead. Turn your venue into a hacienda in Mexico and parade with your friends as a horde of sugar-skull skeletons. Day of the Dead, or ‘Dia de los Muertos’ as it’s known in Mexico, is the annual festival that celebrates our deceased ancestors. It has since travelled from its origins to be a global hit, making it perfect for a Halloween party. Practice those make-up skills and create a Day of the Dead look that would frighten any party guest.
What to dress as: Traditional Mexican Day of the Dead ‘senourita’s and senor’s’. Coloured dresses, skull embellishments and the unique sugar skull make-up design will complete your costume.
The number one activity on Halloween is no doubt pumpkin carving. Every year, carvings are getting more elaborate, creating scary pumpkin faces and advanced sculptures that look amazing! Gather your friends for a pumpkin carving contest and decorate your house and garden with all the finished designs. Pumpkin accessories are easy to find too. Wrap orange banners and black cardboard on the walls, make a pumpkin treat tub your centrepiece and let the good times begin… Just be careful with the candles if you plan on lighting all of your new pumpkin friends!
What to dress as: Traditional Halloween characters such as skeletons, pumpkins, vampires, werewolves, witches and other evil creatures of All Hallows Eve.
Horror movies is what Halloween is all about and films of the past few decades have inspired costumes and characters that make terrifying Halloween ideas. Combine the best of the best horror movies and create a party to remember! Incorporate the evil doll Chucky to transform your bedroom into the set of ‘Child’s Play’, hide Pennywise the Clown in your kitchen cupboards and generally have fun theming your home for each movie. How about giving each room a unique movie design? Other films you can introduce include The Rocky Horror Show, Beetlejuice, Annabelle, Scream, Friday 13th and more.
What to dress as: Scary movie characters such as Pennywise the Clown, Anabelle doll, Jigsaw from Saw, Freddie and Jason or Halloween classic, Scream.
Re-design the set of the Addams Family or the Haunted House at Disneyworld with your own Spooktacular house of horrors. This Halloween party theme idea is perfectly suited to Halloween events at home, allowing you to give your house that much needed appearance change for October 31st. Deck the halls with cobwebs, blacken out the windows, dim the lights and plant a few scary ‘boobie traps’ around the house. Magic mirror on the wall anyone? Finish of the party theme with creepy background music and your own ghost tour.
What to dress as: Traditional Halloween characters such as skeletons, pumpkins, vampires, werewolves, witches and other evil creatures of All Hallows Eve. Of course, there’s always the most famous haunted house personalities of all – The Addams Family.
Not every fairy-tale has a happy ending… Embrace the dark stories of the fairy-tale world and deck your party venue out with toadstools, enchanted tree ornaments and props that scream ‘fantasy’. Encourage your guests to dress up as characters such as Alice in Wonderland, the Mad Hatter, Peter Pan and other fairy-tale superstars, but give them a dark makeover to suit the Halloween theme. Fairy-tale inspired treats, games and drinks will all give your party that much needed sprinkle of pixie dust.
What to dress as: Dark versions of book characters such as Alice in Wonderland, Disney Princesses, the Three Musketeers, Peter Pan, fairies, pixies, noble knights and more.
Not strictly Halloween specific but a great Halloween party theme idea nonetheless, superheroes is one of the most diverse options on our list. The comic hero universe spans Marvel and DC to bring countless stories, movies and characters to life. You could have 50 guests and every single one of them could be a different character! Stick to heroes such as Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman or go for a lesser known face such as Groot from the Guardians of the Galaxy or Mr and Mrs Incredible. Decorate your venue with bright primary colours, ‘pow’ banners and props, playing heroic movie theme tunes in the background. If you want to make it more Halloween-esque, why not make it an undead Superhero theme?
What to dress as: The Avengers squad, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Incredibles, Captain Underpants; practically any superhero you can think of! You may wish to make up your own.
Sometimes a Halloween party doesn’t have to be scary. Spice up your October 31st with a Glitz and Glam theme that’s reminiscent of Hollywood’s hottest parties. We’re talking ball gowns, tuxedo’s and all the suave accessories you can handle. Prefer to mix it up a bit? A masquerade ball or character fancy dress for movie characters makes it even better! Lay out the red carpet, mail out some snazzy invitations and let the party commence… This is a good theme for a budget or classy event. Everyone has formal wear they can use. 😊
What to dress as: Suit up in a tuxedo, ball gown or cocktail dress. Alternatively, become a movie character, actor, actress or masquerade persona.
‘Pirates’ is a classic Halloween party theme that’s great for adults and kids of any age. It suits children’s Halloween parties, all the way up to the late-night adult parties with drinking games. It’s easy to dress as a pirate and your friends can go for the simple option of a bandana and eye patch with torn clothes, or grand Blackbeard or Jack Sparrow outfits that look exactly like the characters. Create your own pirate party games, theme your snacks and decorate the room with treasure chests, maps, flags and pirate props. How about creating a treasure hunt challenge for your mates to complete?
What to dress as: Traditional pirate scallywags, pirate captains such as Jack Sparrow, bar wenches and Pirates of the Caribbean characters.
Possibly one of our most stand-out Halloween party theme ideas of all, an event based on Ancient Egypt is sure to go down a storm! Craft tall golden pillars from cardboard for your main entrance, buy a small pyramid for your centre-piece and decorate the walls with hieroglyphics print-outs. Take it even further by dressing your canapés in ancient Egyptian-style garnishing’s and give them names such as ‘Mummy’s chicken fingers’. The theme has a lot of potential for creativity and you’ll have fun planning it out. We recommend hosting it in your back yard or garden if it’s not too cold.
What to dress as: Bandage wrapped mummies, Cleopatra, an Ancient Pharaoh or simple toga with a sash are all fitting costume ideas.
‘Murder Mystery’ is an excellent Halloween party theme for adults that want to create a fun game to celebrate October 31st, rather than just the usual snacks, drinks and casual conversation. Similar to a game of Cluedo, Murder Mystery challenges are a great way to spark your imagination and best suited for smaller party sizes. All you need to do is think of a mystery, write a story and create a series of props, riddles and navigation challenges. Check out this excellent guide here for help planning your activity night. Then all you need is some tasty food, plenty of wine and willing participants!
What to dress as: Anything you want! Pick a theme for the Murder Mystery challenge and create specific characters as you wish. Or invite friends to dress as detectives, professions, TV show characters, etc.
Take inspiration from Michael Jackson’s classic ‘Thriller’ video and zombify your party. Graveyard props, cobwebs and creepy creatures of the undead will make this Halloween party theme idea a hit. Play classic Halloween tunes in the background, think of some fun party games and create your own dancefloor for a music-inspired theme with a lot of energy. Be sure to assemble your friends at midnight for your own version of the Monster Mash or Thriller dance!
What to dress as: Frankenstein, zombies, Walking Dead characters, skeletons and other creatures of the undead.

We all remember the tale of the boy who lived and his journey to defeat the Dark Lord, ‘he who must not be named’. It’s an all-round family classic to not only binge watch over and over again, but also read and not be able to put the book down.
Harry Potter makes an excellent fancy dress idea for themed parties, or just for dressing up with your family. We’ve put together some of our best Harry Potter costumes to give you some inspiration. 😊
It was a day to remember when Harry Potter was chosen to be placed in Gryffindor House when he first started at Hogwarts. Gryffindor is considered to be the best house, as that’s where all the famous witches and wizards graduated from. All of Harry’s closest friends and helpers, such as Ron, Hermione and The Weasley Brothers, are in the same house.
If you want to join in with Harry’s pals, grab yourself this Gryffindor robe and get yourself comfortable at the great dining hall, ready for some school announcements from Dumbledore himself.
Dressing up isn’t just for children, it’s for the adults, too! Whilst the grown-ups and teachers don’t wear house uniforms in the Harry Potter movies, you can totally rock the Gryffindor robe at a party with your friends and family!
You can even team up with your friend or child, and go against the devious Slytherin house!
Harry Potter is also famous for its game of Quidditch. Each year there are try outs to compete for a spot on the team. Luckily for Harry, he made the team in just his first year at Hogwarts – Draco Malfoy clearly wasn’t too pleased about that!
This costume makes a great outfit for a Harry Potter party. You can even buy some broomsticks and pretend you’re flying high in the sky. After all, haven’t we all wanted to fly around on a broom stick catching the Golden Snitch?
Professor McGonagall is loved by all students at Hogwarts, especially those in Gryffindor, as she is the head of the best house after all! She may appear sweet, innocent and kind, but she has a no nonsense approach, and cannot stand late attendance to classes. Watch out for her cat Animagus, as she can't be easily fooled.
Hermione is the brains of the group and without her, Harry would have been pretty lost! Known as the know-it-all by Professor Snape, she learnt more spells in her first year at Hogwarts, than students in their final year!
If you also want to be a teacher’s pet and master of spells, dress up in this Hermione Granger costume and start casting magic to save your friends from dark and mysterious beings!
Hogwarts wouldn't be the same without the big, friendly giant, Rubeus Hagrid. He keeps a close eye on Harry and his friends throughout their entire school years, helping them uncover mysteries and clues along the way. Let's hope others don't mistake your love for large tarantulas and other animals, like Buckbeak as being odd!
Slytherin House is known to be the ‘bad house,’ where no-one wanted to end up, especially Harry. Mainly because of the many dark wizards that were previous members of Slytherin. He who must not be named was in Slytherin house, so he always had his watchful eye on them, especially Draco Malfoy, his archenemy.
If you’re feeling evil and want to go against Harry and his friends in Gryffindor House, you can take him on by dressing up as Draco, or maybe even Crabb and Goyle from Slytherin!
Have you ever fancied taking on the role of the mighty Dumbledore? You’re going to need a lot of strength, power, and above all, courage to become the wizarding master. He’s the strongest wizard alive, and even Lord Voldemort can’t defeat him.
You’ll have the greatest task on your hands to make sure that Harry Potter remains safe throughout his entire time at Hogwarts, keeping a close eye on him and other threats that might come to haunt and hurt him.
It’s a great costume choice for any Harry Potter themed parties, or even for World Book Day!
One character who we all know and love is the cute little elf, Dobby, who's always looking out for Harry Potter and his friends. In the second film and book, The Chamber of Secrets, he even stops Harry receiving letters from his friends and jinxes his broom during Quidditch! Will Dobby one day finally be presented with some clothes, and become a freeeee elf?
There's one dark lord that springs to mind from the legendary Harry Potter books and films. Tom Riddle, who's also known as Lord Voldemort is feared by all. His distorted face, long and dainty fingers and his pet snake, Nagini, all come together to create this powerful and deadly villain. Are you brave enough to turn to the dark side this World Book Day?
Now this isn’t one of the typical Harry Potter costumes that are featured in the novels and the films, but it’s certainly a popular one for dress-up and party occasion.
This is a great costume for those who want to still dress up but be a little bit naughty at the same time! It’s great for night’s out and parties with friends!
You're now a member of the best house at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, but now it's time to look the part too. The weather can get pretty chilly during the cold winter months, so wrap up warm and show Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff and above all, sneaky Slytherin how proud you are to be a true Gryffindor.
As a student at Hogwarts, you need to ensure you're dressed appropriately and smartly at all times, especially when the professors are on uniform patrol. Tuck your shirt in, do up your top button and put on your tie as neatly as possible - Professor Snape is watching you!
Ronald Weasley plays a big part in the Harry Potter books and films. He’s Harry’s best friend, brother to Fred and George and (spoiler alert) finally ends up being Hermione’s boyfriend!
What makes Ron stand out from all the other characters is his bright ginger hair. You can never miss him, that’s for sure!
You can play Ron by putting on this cool Ron Weasley wig.
The legendary Sorting Hat is responsible for putting students into the four different houses - Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff and Slytherin. It’ll take into account your preferences, but will ultimately decide for you.
When the Sorting Hat was put on Harry for the first time, he begged not to be sent into Slytherin House. Although the hat thought he would be a great fit, he listened to Harry and placed him in Gryffindor.
If you want to place your family in one of the four houses, then this Sorting House is just for you! Make sure you choose wisely!
So, there you have it, our top 15 Harry Potter costumes! They excellent for a party, Halloween, or even if you want to dress up with your family. It’s also one of the most popular themes for World Book Day. Find many more Harry Potter costume ideas and accessories in our shop area here.

Hello and welcome to our ultimate guide to the best baby Halloween costumes for 2024. It’s time to swap Huggies and Pampers for something a little more suited for spook season! Halloween isn’t always about putting on your scariest mask and costume either, it’s also about transforming your little ones into a bundle of joy this October 31st. Afterall, who could be frightened of a baby vampire? From animals to spiders and pumpkins, we have a variety of different baby Halloween costume ideas from new-borns to age 2, so you’re bound to find the perfect costume for your little angel (or devil).
Check out our top baby Halloween costume ideas below for some inspiration! 😊
We’re starting off our list of the best baby Halloween costumes with one of the most recognised symbols of Halloween, the ghost. Forget about Casper the friendly ghost, as it's all about the cute little girl ghost this October. She's friendly and will do no harm to anybody. After all, how can you be afraid of her?
It’s time to carve some pumpkins with a scary pair of eyes and mouth, leaving them outside your front door. Pumpkins don’t always have to be so spooky, so why not pop your little princess in our pumpkin costume? You won’t be able to make her look scary, even if you tried!
We’re moving on to a classic character to dress up as for Halloween. They’re mean, they love working on new spells and are always accompanied by their pet cat. No matter what face your precious witch will pull, they won’t be as half as scary as the witches from Hocus Pocus! She’ll be casting spells like no other in our Witch & Famous Costume…Sabrina The Teenage Witch to be anyone?
Those tall, unidentified characters wrapped up tightly in white fabric are pretty scary, making a great costume for Halloween. How about we combine the mummy-factor with the cute-factor for your baby? He might have a dark side at times, but you’ll always know that he adores you with all his heart as he wears the I Love My Mummy Costume.
It’s time for your little one to start spinning some webs this Halloween, as it’s just around the corner. Let’s face it, spiders aren’t the cutest of creatures and they’re often found lurking in the night on the floors, walls and even the beds… However, not all spiders will make you want to run away. Transform your child into the 8-legged creature this Halloween. They’ll look so spinningly cute with their head popping out from the costume.
It’s time to move over, Count Dracula, as there’s a new vampire in town! Vampires are known for their sharp fangs, hunger for human blood and their pale skin…and overall make a pretty terrifying Halloween character. Transform your little one into a milder version (without the scary fangs and blood!). This is one of our favourite baby Halloween costume ideas!
The time has come to take charge of your own ship and set sail to the seven seas, captain! They’ll be all hands-on deck with no slacking, and for those who do, then there’s no other option than to walk the plank. He’ll look like a cheeky pirate straight from Pirates of The Caribbean, but be sure not to mistake his cuteness for kindness! Oooargh!
The next costume on our list of the best baby Halloween costume ideas is not your traditional Halloween character. It’s time to dig your teeth into our Goofy Gator costume. If your baby is a lover of animals but fancies something a little more dangerous this Halloween, this is the croc for them (just watch out for those sharp gnashers!).
Whilst this costume may not seem like your typical baby Halloween costume idea, leopards belong to the feline group and as we all know, cats are extremely popular to dress up as for Halloween. Your baby will look super cute and spotty in our Leopard onesie. She’ll be perfecting her ‘meow’ in no time!
Let your baby take charge of the gang this Halloween as chief baby! He may not look as threatening as a real police officer, but he won’t take any nonsense and will demand full order! You can even team with a toy dog to act as his companion.
We’re taking it to the naughty side of our list of baby Halloween costumes, and we’re talking about those bad criminals locked up in jail. When Halloween comes around, they all try to escape! Whilst your baby is as good as gold, they might be a little cheeky from time to time, and if so, then our escaped criminal onesie is a great fit.
Instead of just calling your little one a cheeky monkey, why not turn them into one? Monkeys love to swing off trees, eat tonnes of bananas and like to get up some mischief. Monkeys aren’t just animals to dress up as for animal themed events, but also for Halloween. This is one of the cutest baby Halloween costume ideas on our list and will go down a treat (not trick) at the party!
Continuing on with the animal theme, we can’t leave our loveable lion off the list of our best baby Halloween costumes! Whether your little one wants to become the scared lion from Wizard of Oz or if they’re a fan of the Lion King, then they can transform into a friendly, more loveable version (that’s not Scar) this Halloween.
Cats are popular characters to dress up as for Halloween for people of all ages. All you need is a pair of cat ears, a black costume and to draw yourself some whiskers. Luckily, our Mini Meow Costume has all you need and more, so no need to clip on a tail, or draw some whiskers on your baby. They’ll be puuuuuring for attention from you and others as you take them on their first night of trick or treating.
The next costume on our list of the best baby Halloween costumes is our white shining teethed friend who lives a long time ago. Inspired by popular children’s classics such Jurassic Park and Ice Age, they make great characters for our little ones to dress up as. Even though he isn’t as scary as a clown, or even a zombie, when others set eyes on his sharp white teeth, they won’t want to come too close!
We’re taking it back to the 1920s, when top hats and suits were a thing. Your precious little one can transform into a mischievous, up-to-no-good gangster from the 20’s, and he’s also the smartest dressed to the party! Help him practice his gangster impressions and you have a winner!
Does your little one sometimes like to cause a bit of trouble? Well, it’s Halloween after all! Let them swap their halo for a pair of horns this October 31st as they transform into one of the most popular characters for Halloween, the devil. Even though they’ll be dressed as this evil and dark character, your friends and family can’t help but turn to the dark side for a cuddle…
We have another spider costume on our list, just because they are so popular for Halloween! If a purple and orange legged creature turned up on your kitchen floor, you’re likely to scream for help,. However, seeing as it’s your cute baby, you’ll be wanting more and more cuddles from this furry, big-eyed creature. This is a best seller every year!
We hope your little one has been practicing sleeping upside down, as there’ll be plenty of that this Halloween. Bats love the dark and enjoy spending time with their other bat friends, hidden inside caves. If your little one is often found toppled over upside down, then this Cute Baby Bat costume is the one for them.
The penultimate costume on our list of the best baby Halloween costume ideas is a character that walks extremely slowly without making any sudden movements. He goes unnoticed as much as possible and is the lab creation of a crazy scientist. You guessed it! Its time for your little one to get their freak on this Halloween as he becomes the cutest little green monster in town, Frankenstein.
The final costume on our list is someone who likes to breathe fire at his enemies and has big sharp teeth. Teeth that Dracula would be jealous of… Your little bundle of joy will look so adorable, yet frightening, dressed up in our Fire Dragon Costume. Don’t be fooled; they may look sweet, but if you get on their bad side, you may be toast!
