If you’re getting a new puppy for the holidays, you’ll definitely want to check out our favorite Christmas dog names!

We’ve compiled a list of the most festive holiday monikers for both male and female pups!

From Christmas movie characters to tasty holiday treats, we took inspiration from all aspects of the season.

Let’s take a peek!

Best Christmas Dog Names

It’s the most wonderful time of the year now. As the weather starts to chill, you know Christmas is right around the corner.

Many of us are counting down the days until when we exchange gifts and have a large family get-together.

I know I’m already stocking up on chocolate calendars to help me count down the days.

If you are here, then you are probably one of the lucky ones welcoming a new puppy into your life in this joyous season.

Let us supply you with a long list of names that will forever pay tribute to this day.
