How to make magical Christmas Eve memories with your family

T’was the night before Christmas... We’re here to help you plan a Christmas Eve to remember, that’ll get the kids more excited than ever for the big day!

We have sleighfuls of ideas from Christmas Eve activities to stocking fillers that’ll surprise and delight little ones. Let’s bring some magic this Christmas!

Step 1: Pick your stocking

Why make your own Christmas stocking when you can buy one of our fun Christmas stockings, sacks and boxes?! 

Whether you’re looking for the classic knitted or embroidered stocking, or even a traditional Santa sack for children to excitedly open, we have every option you could dream of! 

Step 2: Fill your stockings! 

Now’s for the really fun part, filling your children’s stockings with all sorts of fun, meaningful and tasty gifts! 

We have a huge range of stocking fillers for girls and boys, whether you’re looking for novelty stocking fillers like our Grow-Your-Own Magical Unicorn, or more premium stocking fillers such as our Mouse in a House floor puzzle, we have gifts to suit any budget! 

Step 3: Christmas Eve activities 

Children are always very excited on Christmas Eve so it’s a good idea to plan activities for them to use up some of that festive energy!

Spend some time together creating festive scenes with our Festive Colour-In Table Cover, or a DIY Festive Friends Cracker Kit. Another fun activity is for the kids to write letters to Santa on Christmas Eve, igniting their imagination, and they might even receive one back from his helpers. Keep the festive crafting going with our make-your-own Santa and friends masks.

Planning some fun games & activities will give you the chance to sit back and watch the Christmas magic unfold.

Step 4: Prep for Santa’s arrival

Is your ho-ho-home ready for the grand arrival of Santa? Make sure he knows where to stop with our Candy Cane Garden Signs. You can show your little ones that Santa has visited with our fun Santa’s Foot Print Stencils - watch their faces light up!

Remember to leave out some snacks for Rudolph and Santa, how about some of the Christmas baking you did together?

Step 5: Get an early night

Finally, it’s time for you and the kids to get an early night and prepare for the big day tomorrow.

Don’t forget to wrap up the little ones in their favourite festive PJs with a warm cup of hot chocolate!

We hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and make magical memories with your loved ones!
