Christmas Eve Box Ideas For Kids:
1. Christmas Pajamas
for kids
Every kid loves to wear special Christmas pajamas as they wait for Santa! They make for adorable Christmas photos – the kids will be delighted to wear any of these cute Pajamas…stripes or plaids with cute Santas, reindeers and polar bears…so many to choose from here!

While the book Twas The Night Before Christmas book is always a favorite there are plenty of other great Christmas stories the kids will enjoy!

Kids will delight with a new Christmas Cup or Christmas Tumbler! They can sit and sip their favorite drink while watching the new Christmas movie they found inside the Christmas Eve box. Don’t forget the Hot Cocoa Mix

What a cute idea! We do a present pass on the night before because I agree, it helps give you something fun when the anticipation is high. My children are now older, but that present pass is still a firm part of our tradition.
You are never too old for Christmas traditions. The kids still love them (and expect them) every year!
Looks like a box full of fun!
I used to love family movie night in comfy pajamas.
Fond memories for sure, Laura! Wishing you all a wonderful holiday season!
Great ideas! (would love to enter the prize giveaway, but I don’t do Pinterest)
I bought this a year or two ago where do I go to access it, i have only accessed it once.
