French Bulldog Christmas Shirt: Black Frenchie in a Santa Hat and Scarf

A black Frenchie with a cream chest tilts its head under a red Santa hat on this French bulldog Christmas shirt, bundled up in a red knit scarf with white zigzag stripes and pom-pom ends. It is a ready-made design, not a portrait from your photo, and the whole dog is real embroidery stitched into the fabric.

What is on the French bulldog Christmas shirt?

The Frenchie sits upright in the center of the chest and looks out with its head cocked to one side.

• The dog: a black French bulldog with a cream chest, a short wrinkled muzzle and white outline stitching that traces its face, legs and body.
• The ears: one tall bat ear lined in tan stands up on one side; the other hides under the hat.
• The hat: a red Santa hat with a white brim, its white pom-pom hanging beside the dog’s cheek.
• The scarf: a red knit scarf with white zigzag stripes, tied at the neck with two white pom-poms dangling from the ends.

Why does the Frenchie tilt its head?

French bulldogs are famous for their expressive faces and big bat ears, and the head tilt is the look of a Frenchie listening very hard for a familiar word, like “walk” or “treat.” In this design the tilt tips the Santa hat to one side and gives the dog a curious, slightly unsure expression, as if it has not decided how it feels about the outfit. The striped scarf makes it look bundled up for a cold walk it may or may not agree to take. The single tan-lined ear poking out from under the hat keeps the breed easy to recognize.

Which color should you choose?

The photos follow whichever color you choose in the options above. The black coat has its clearest edge on light, bright and mid-tone colors. On the darkest colors the coat blends into the fabric, so the white outline stitching, the cream chest, the hat and the scarf do the work. Shades close to the red of the hat and scarf make those two pieces look softer.

Who is this French bulldog Santa hat shirt for?

It suits a Frenchie mom or dad, a family with a black or black and white French bulldog, or anyone who stops for every bat-eared dog on the sidewalk. A short-sleeve French bulldog Santa hat shirt works for Christmas in a warm climate, an indoor party or layering under a cardigan. The same black Frenchie comes on our French bulldog Christmas sweatshirt, a crewneck sweatshirt for cooler days. For a different bulldog, a fawn English bulldog dressed as Santa is on our English bulldog Santa shirt.

Can you add a name to the sleeve?

Yes, on one short sleeve: your Frenchie’s name or your initials, plus an icon, a font and a thread color from the charts in the photos. White thread is preselected since it reads best on dark shirts; for light colors, pick Black or another dark thread.

Frequently asked questions

Can the Frenchie match my own dog?

The ready-made design is a black French bulldog Christmas shirt with a cream chest, and we do not change its coat. For a fawn, brindle or any other coat, send a photo with the custom dog Christmas sweatshirt, which puts your dog in a Santa hat, antlers or another holiday look and also comes as a T-shirt.

Is this Frenchie Christmas shirt for me or for my dog?

It is for people. This Frenchie Christmas shirt is an adult T-shirt, and only the embroidered dog wears the hat and scarf. More breeds are in our dog lover gifts.

Is the Frenchie printed or embroidered?

It is embroidered. The dog, its hat and its scarf are stitched in thread, so they have a raised texture and will not crack or peel like a print. Other short-sleeve designs live in our embroidered T-shirts.
