Why wait until Dec. 25 to start opening presents when you can dive in the night before with a Christmas Eve box? Inspired by the European tradition of opening some or all gifts on Dec. 24, Christmas Eve boxes are becoming more and more popular in the UK, as families look for ways to extend the festive fun by giving a few small treats early. Typical contents include things that can be enjoyed that night, like hot chocolate, festive food items, a Christmas movie, PJs, slippers, scented candles, card games, and festive bath goodies. Think of it as an early stocking.
In addition to the standard contents, there are various ways you can add a unique touch to the Christmas Eve box you put together. We've come up with lots of ideas for what to fill it with for all those special people close to you, from little ones, your partner, and the grandparents to your siblings, flatmates, and even your pet. Take a look at our filler ideas, and then shop our pick of personalised Christmas Eve boxes you can bring out year after year. Enjoy your new festive tradition!
