Christmas Eve Box Ideas for a Magical Holiday

Christmas Eve boxes are a fantastic way to bring some extra magic to the holidays. We all know that kids are bursting with excitement on Christmas Eve. So, giving kids a beautiful Christmas Eve box filled with toys and treats is the perfect way to keep them occupied as they wait for the big day to arrive.

To make your Christmas Eve box tradition extra special, you could come up with a magical story about how the box was delivered. For example, was it dropped off by the festive fairies, or did Santa’s elves have a quiet moment in the middle of making toys to put it all together? 

Kids of all ages love to receive a Christmas Eve box each year. This exciting tradition is definitely going to be a hit. But you may be wondering what to put inside. If so, you’re in the right place! We’ve gathered the best Christmas Eve box ideas to help you create the perfect treat for the holidays.
