Santa excitement tends to reach its peak on Christmas Eve. If you struggle to stop the kids bubbling over on the 24th, a Christmas Eve box might just keep them occupied on the sleigh bells countdown. What is a Christmas Eve box? Firstly, it’s something that you can hopefully become a tradition year after year. Secondly, on a more practical note, it offers a bit of distraction on a day when most children can barely contain themselves, and parents have a to-do list as long as Santa’s Naughty and Nice lists put together. If you're not the crafty type and would rather buy a ready-made Christmas Eve box than decorate and fill one yourself, you'll find them on sale almost everywhere, including popular supermarkets like Tesco and ASDA. It’s often also seen as an extension of the Advent calendar – we all remember the anticipation of the double door on number 24, after all. Christmas Eve boxes are a bit like that: a prize for your patience all through December. What is the point of a Christmas Eve box? MonopolyJazz Cute onesie Good quality, happy with the price. Bought for Granddaughter’s Xmas present.

Elf2 Christmas gift for a Harry Potter fan. I bought this as a Christmas present for my granddaughter who is a Harry Potter fan. The quality is good and it feels lovely and soft. I’m sure it will fit her but it won’t be worn until Christmas Eve.
West Yorkshire shopper Cosy, Fleece Hoody My granddaughter loved it. Good quality, soft and warm. Good value for money. Your Christmas Eve box can be as lavish or as simple as you like. A simple shoe box, covered in festive paper will do the job admirably, but if you want it to last for years, you could buy a plain wooden lidded box or apple crate and then paint and stencil it, or decorate it in other ways.
