If you received a puppy as a present under the Christmas tree or if you're simply obsessed with the holiday, consider naming your dog after the most wonderful time of the year. Holiday foods and treats can inspire a name like Chestnut, Cranberry, Ginger, Pumpkin, or even Sugarplum for a pup that is extra sweet. Or you can find the perfect moniker in your favorite Christmas song or movie, like Rudolph or Buddy the Elf.
Give your pup the gift of a Christmas name, and they'll be ready to don a Christmas sweater and enjoy their stocking stuffers each year. We've made a list of festive dog names, checked it twice, and included names for both naughty and nice.
