Magical Christmas Eve Box Ideas

After weeks of patiently counting down with the help of advent calendars, the big day is finally almost here! After so much build-up, keeping excited kids entertained on Christmas Eve is no easy task. But bringing together magical Christmas Eve box ideas for kids is an ideal way to make it extra special.

This package of festive treats for kids will help to ease boredom and reduce the temptation to take sneaky peaks at the presents waiting under the tree. However, if you are planning to introduce this fun festive tradition to your home this year, you may be wondering how to get started.

A New Christmas Tradition!

If this is a new tradition for your family, you may be unsure who these pre-Christmas treats should be from and when to give them out. The good news is that there are no rules when deciding how to give your Christmas Eve boxes. As this is a brand new tradition for your family, you are free to decide how it will work. You can choose to leave out the boxes on the morning of the 24th of December as a special treat from Santa’s elves. Alternatively, you may want to present the boxes yourself later in the day as a special bedtime gift. Whoever these pre-Christmas gifts are from, you can be sure kids will love this new tradition.

Planning what to put in your Christmas Eve boxes is really exciting. Popular items to include are new pyjamas, hot chocolate, festive sweets, Christmas books, and bathtime goodies. These fun, festive gifts will help to keep kids occupied and ready for the excitement of the big day!
