The Best Festive Cat Collars

We think all cats are cute, and they're even cuter with a festive cat collar. These collars do the job of making your cat look more in the spirit of this special time of year. But not every festive cat collar will cut the mustard, which is why we've made this list of the ones we think most belong in your stockings.

What to Look For

We asked ourselves three questions when looking for the best festive cat collar: Does the collar have a charming holiday-themed aesthetic? Is it made of comfy and durable material? Finally, is its size adjustable to fit a variety of cat body types? Each festive cat collar made it onto our Nice list using these criteria. Joytale made our favorite collars thanks to their lovely designs and handy, safe breakaway construction. We also loved the bandana-style collars offered by Adoggygo to make our cats look like feline bandits with a dash of holiday cheer. Keep reading to see which festive cat collar will make the perfect stocking stuffer for your feline friends.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are so many of your choices breakaway collars?

Breakaway collars have grown immensely in popularity due to their emphasis on cat safety: if your cat snags their collar on something, it will simply break off instead of choking them. There’s no sacrifice in terms of comfort or quality either, so there’s no reason not to make your favorite cat collar a breakaway.

Should I buy a festive cat collar as a gift?

Your typical festive cat collar will be themed more around general holiday motifs rather than anything explicitly having to do with religion. The majority of these collars should make a delightful, controversy-free gift for anyone with cats and a bit of the holiday spirit.
