Goldendoodle Christmas Shirt: Doodle Puppy in a Santa Hat Chewing the Lights

Our goldendoodle Christmas shirt stars a curly apricot doodle puppy in a red Santa hat, caught with the plug of the Christmas lights in its mouth and the bulbs tangled around its paws. It is a ready-made design on a short-sleeve T-shirt, embroidered in thread after you order.

What is on the goldendoodle Christmas shirt?

The puppy sits upright in the center of the chest, looking straight out with dark eyes and a black nose.

• Coat: apricot curls stitched in wavy rows, with long, fluffy ears hanging past the cheeks.
• Hat: red with a white brim and pom-pom.
• Lights: a green plug in the mouth and a green cord that loops down the chest and spreads into a tangle on both sides of the paws.
• Bulbs: red, yellow, blue and green, scattered along the cord.

Why is the doodle puppy chewing the lights?

Puppies explore the world with their mouths, and a long, colorful cord lying on the floor is about as tempting as it gets. Plenty of puppy owners have come home to unplugged tree lights and a very proud dog nearby. This goldendoodle Christmas lights shirt freezes that exact moment: the plug is still in its mouth, the strand is wrapped around its paws, and the face insists nothing happened here. A goldendoodle mixes golden retriever and poodle, which shows in the curly coat and in the retriever habit of picking things up and carrying them around.

Which color should you choose?

Select a color above and the photos switch to that shade. Dark colors and bright or cool mid-tones give the warm apricot coat a clean edge. On tones close to the coat, the curls blend in and the red hat and bulbs carry the design. Greens near the cord make the cord quieter, while the colored bulbs stay bright.

Who is the goldendoodle Santa hat shirt for?

It suits a goldendoodle mom or dad, a family with a new doodle puppy this year, or anyone whose curly dog has ever raided the decorations. A goldendoodle Santa hat shirt in short sleeves works for a warm-weather Christmas, an indoor holiday party or layering under a cardigan. For colder days, the same doodle puppy comes on our goldendoodle Christmas sweatshirt, a crewneck sweatshirt.

Can you add a name to the sleeve?

Yes. Add your doodle’s name or your initials on one short sleeve, plus an icon if you like, in your choice of font and thread color. White thread is preselected for dark shirts; pick Black or another dark thread for light ones.

Ordering, sizing and care

We stitch each T-shirt to order and ship it from the USA, and the estimated delivery date sits on this page. A free design proof arrives by email first, and edits are unlimited. To receive it by Christmas Day, order by December 8 in the U.S. or by November 23 outside the U.S. Because the shirt is made for you, sizes cannot be exchanged, so check the size guide on this page. Turn it inside out for a cold wash and never iron on the embroidery.
