This holiday season, PetSmart is inviting furry family members to join in the festive fun with its new Holiday Classics collection, a lineup inspired by beloved seasonal movies. From The Grinch and Rudolph to Elf, Home Alone, and Peanuts, the collection features cozy sweaters, pajamas, bandanas, and toys that bring festive cheer to pet households.
Dogs can stay warm in The Grinch Merry Christmas Sweater or show off their personality with a Home Alone or Buddy the Elf design, while Nightmare Before Christmas and Mickey Buffalo Plaid PJs keep bedtime extra snuggly. Stylish pets can even step out in a Mickey Cardigan with decorative buttons.
Playtime also gets a seasonal touch, with themed toys like the Snoopy Christmas Tree Plush, Ornamutt Toy, and Rudolph and Stitch characters. Cats can join the celebration with a Garfield Christmas Tree Scratcher, a holiday tunnel, or a plush toy pack for warm, cozy fun.
