How to Make a Christmas Eve Box 

Jingle into the heart of Christmas Eve traditions by putting up the stockings, leaving out a carrot and mince pie for Santa, and diving into your Christmas Eve box! These festive boxes have become a staple in recent years – and for good reason. Whether you’re a Christmas enthusiast looking to ramp up the celebrations or simply hunting for Christmas Eve box ideas, this guide to making your very own Christmas Eve Box is your ticket to a holly jolly evening.

What is a Christmas Eve Box?

A Christmas Eve Box is a special box filled with small festive presents that are given on Christmas Eve. Designed for both children and adults, these boxes ramp up the excitement and anticipation of Santa’s imminent arrival. Gifted in a wooden or personalised Christmas Eve Box, they’re typically filled with festive pyjamas, delightful stocking fillers, and sweet treats to be enjoyed after dinner.

Is a Christmas Eve Box Gifted from Santa or the Parents?

Christmas Eve Boxes are gifted from the parents, not Santa – some might say Santa has enough presents to deliver on Christmas Day! But, if you’d like to keep the festive magic alive, you could tell a mischievous story of Elf on the Shelf up to his usual tricks, as the Elves love to pack a Christmas Eve Box. Not sure who this cheeky Elf is? Read our guide and discover how to welcome it into your home.
