When you’re getting dressed up for the winter holidays, don’t forget to decorate your cat with a bit of seasonal bling! We’ve found ten of the best Christmas cat collars—including a few classics that will look great year-round.
Choosing the Best Cat Collars
Cat collars are a great idea, no matter what the season. Keep your kitty safe by adding an ID tag or, if you have an outdoor kitty, equip them with a GPS or RFID tag so you can keep tabs on them. Collars with bells help keep the local birds safe too.

When selecting a Christmas cat collar, keep safety in mind. Just because a holiday collar is cute as all get-out doesn’t mean it’s a good one for your cat. Make sure the collar you choose has a safety feature (such as an elastic insert or a breakaway clasp) so it will release if your cat slips into a tight space and the collar catches on something.
The Best Christmas Cat Collars
Just about any cat will enjoy wearing the colorful holiday collars on this list. Decked out in one of these, your kitty will be the life of your office Zoom party or in-person holiday gathering (especially if you opt for that rhinestone one).

Go for the jingle bells and glitter! We like these red-and-gold combos.
