18 Nov 5 Festive Ways to Use Branded T Shirts This Christmas
Bring Festive Cheer to Your Brand with Branded T Shirts
The festive season is the perfect opportunity to boost your brand’s visibility, reward loyal customers, and bring your team together. One simple yet powerful way to do that successfully and effectively is with branded t shirts.
No matter whether you’re running Christmas promotions, hosting a festive event, or simply want your team to look festive and united, custom branded t shirts are a cost-effective and memorable choice. Here at Griffin Designs, you can create high-quality branded t shirts with no minimum order, ideal for small or large campaigns alike. What’s even better is if you’re stuck on choosing a design to fit your needs our helpful design team can gladly lend a hand!
Here are five creative ways to make branded t shirts a key part of your Christmas marketing strategy this year:
1. Festive Staff Uniforms
If your business has a customer-facing team — whether in retail, hospitality, or events — branded Christmas t shirts can instantly create a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Add a touch of holiday flair to your logo with festive colours, snowflakes, or seasonal phrases.
Not only do they promote your brand, but they also foster team spirit and make your staff easy to identify at busy events.
2. Customer Giveaways and Competitions
Everyone loves a freebie at Christmas. Branded t shirts make excellent giveaway items for social media contests, in-store promotions, or online purchases.
Try running a “12 Days of Christmas Giveaway” on your social channels — each day, give away a limited-edition tee featuring your festive branding. It’s an engaging way to increase brand awareness, drive traffic, and encourage user-generated content.
For example, studies show 85% of consumers remember the brand that gave them promotional clothing.

3. Limited-Edition Christmas Designs
Seasonal exclusivity works wonders for customer engagement. Create a one-off Christmas edition of your branded t shirts featuring a limited design or tag line. These can be sold online, offered as a freebie with purchases, or worn by staff throughout the holidays. Why not choose a speciality vinyl too like glitter or red flock to give that extra fun and festive cheer!
By offering something unique and time-sensitive, you add excitement and urgency to your marketing campaigns — while keeping your branding front and centre.
4. Charity and Community Events
Winter is the season of giving, and many companies participate in charity runs, Christmas markets, or fundraising events. Branded t shirts are ideal for these community occasions — they unify your team and spread awareness of both your business and the cause you’re supporting.
At Griffin Designs, you can order custom shirts for your team, volunteers, or supporters with ease. Add sponsor logos, event names, and festive designs to make your shirts stand out while doing good.
5. Corporate Gifts and Staff Appreciation
Branded t shirts make great additions to company gift bags or end-of-year hampers. Personalise each shirt with names, team roles, or a fun holiday message. It’s a thoughtful, practical way to thank your employees and clients — and keep your brand in their minds well into the new year.
Pair them with branded hoodies, tote bags, or mugs for a complete festive gift set.
From festive uniforms to charity events, branded t shirts are an affordable and effective way to spread cheer and strengthen your brand this Christmas.
