Goldendoodle Christmas Sweatshirt: Embroidered Doodle Puppy in a Santa Hat with Christmas Lights

Our goldendoodle Christmas sweatshirt shows a curly apricot doodle puppy who got to the tree lights first: it sits in a red Santa hat with the end of the string in its mouth and colorful bulbs tangled around its paws. The design is ready-made, so there is no photo to send, and the whole puppy is real embroidery stitched into the sweatshirt.

What is on the goldendoodle Christmas sweatshirt?

The puppy sits upright in the center of the chest and looks straight at you with dark eyes and a small black nose.

• The coat: loose curls in apricot and golden tones, from the floppy ears down to the front paws.
• The hat: a red Santa hat with a white brim, its white pom-pom flopped over to one side.
• The lights: a green cord running from the puppy’s mouth down its chest, with red, yellow, blue and green bulbs piled in loops at its feet.

Why is the doodle chewing the Christmas lights?

Because that is what doodle puppies do. A goldendoodle is a golden retriever and poodle mix, and the retriever side loves carrying things around in its mouth, so a dangling string of lights is hard to resist. If you have ever raised a doodle puppy, you can probably picture a chewed cord, a missing ornament or a tree skirt dragged across the room. This design keeps that moment sweet instead of costly: the puppy looks pleased with its find, and the Santa hat suggests it thinks it is helping decorate. That joke is what makes it a goldendoodle Christmas lights sweatshirt rather than just a dog in a hat.

Which color should you choose?

Pick a color in the options above and the photos change to match. Dark and deep shades give the apricot curls the strongest outline and make the colored bulbs glow. Light colors close to the apricot coat let the puppy blend in a little, although the red Santa hat and the lights still stand out. On shades near the red of the hat, the white brim and pom-pom keep the hat easy to see.

Who will love this goldendoodle Santa hat sweatshirt?

It suits a doodle mom or dad, a family with a new doodle puppy, or anyone whose dog has eyed the tree with mischief. If you were hoping for a goldendoodle Christmas sweater, this is the soft crewneck sweatshirt take on the idea, made for people rather than dogs and easy to wear from tree-trimming day to New Year’s. The same doodle puppy also comes on our goldendoodle Christmas shirt, a short-sleeve T-shirt, if you want a lighter layer. More curly dogs are in our goldendoodle sweatshirts, and other breeds in holiday hats are in our dog Christmas sweatshirts.

Can you add a name to the sleeve?

You can. Add your doodle’s name or your initials to one sleeve, with an icon, a font and a thread color chosen from the charts in the photos, or skip the icon. White thread is preselected since it reads best on the dark sweatshirts; on light colors, choose Black or another dark thread.

Ordering, sizing and care

Every sweatshirt is stitched to order and shipped from the USA, and the estimated delivery date appears on this page. We send a free design proof by email first, and you can ask for unlimited edits. To receive it by Christmas Day, order by December 8 in the U.S. or by November 23 outside the U.S. Size exchanges are not possible on made-to-order pieces, so compare the size guide on this page with a top you already own. Turn it inside out, wash in cold water and never iron on the embroidery.

Frequently asked questions

Can the goldendoodle look like my own dog?

This puppy is a ready-made design, so its coat and pose stay as shown. To stitch your own dog’s face from a photo, choose the custom dog Christmas sweatshirt.

Can I get it without the Santa hat or the lights?

No. The hat and the tangle of lights are part of this ready-made scene, so we stitch them exactly as shown. The custom sweatshirt above is the way to show your own dog in a different holiday look.

Is the doodle printed or embroidered?

It is embroidered. The curls, the Santa hat and every little bulb are stitched in thread, so the design has a raised feel and will not crack or peel the way a print can.
