Christmas is on the horizon, and with it comes all kinds of joy and excitement. One of the best things for me personally, is the tradition of giving loved ones a Christmas Eve box. It’s a festive way to celebrate the season, and these boxes are always filled with great goodies that everyone can enjoy. In this post, I’m going to share some ideas for what to put in a Christmas Eve box, along with some free printables to make it all look fabulous.
Hot Cocoa Mix
The cold weather outside makes everyone want to snuggle up inside, so having a warm drink to sip on is always a great idea. Hot cocoa mix is perfect for this time of year, and it’s easy to make. You can choose a traditional hot cocoa mix, or get creative with flavors like peppermint or caramel. Just put the mix in a cute jar or bag, and add a special note to make it more personal.
Christmas Pajamas
What could be cozier than snuggling up in some new Christmas pajamas? A pair of festive pajamas is the perfect addition to any Christmas Eve box, and you can choose from a range of styles and colors. From Santa print to reindeer onesies, there’s something for everyone. Plus, it’s a gift that keeps giving, as they can be worn all winter long.
Christmas Movie
No Christmas Eve would be complete without a classic Christmas movie to watch. Choose a DVD or stream a new movie online, and add it to your box. You can make it even more special by including some movie snacks, like popcorn or candy canes. It’s the perfect way to relax and get in the holiday spirit.
Christmas Story Book
Another great addition to your Christmas Eve box is a Christmas story book. Whether it’s a classic like “The Night Before Christmas” or a new release, it’s a great way to get into the festive spirit. You can even make it a family tradition to read the book together on Christmas Eve. It’s a special way to bond and create memories.
Christmas Ornament
A beautiful Christmas ornament is another great idea for your Christmas Eve box. It’s something that can be treasured for years to come, and it’s always nice to add to the Christmas tree. You can choose something personal, like an ornament with your loved one’s name on it, or something classic like a glass bauble. Either way, it’s a thoughtful gift that your loved one will cherish.
Candles
Candles are a great way to set the mood for a cozy night in, and they also make a great addition to any Christmas Eve box. You can choose a festive scent, like cinnamon or gingerbread, or go for something more traditional like vanilla or lavender. They’re also perfect for creating a relaxing atmosphere during Christmas morning.
Hot Water Bottle
A hot water bottle is a comforting treat, and it’s perfect for keeping warm on cold winter nights. You can choose a festive design, or go for something more classic. Either way, it’s a great addition to any Christmas Eve box, and it’s sure to be appreciated on chilly evenings.
Sugar Cookies
No Christmas Eve box is complete without some sweet treats, and what could be better than some homemade sugar cookies? Bake up a batch before Christmas Eve, and package them up in a festive box or bag. They’re perfect for snacking on during the movie or for leaving out for Santa.
Slippers
Cozy slippers are a must-have during the winter season, and they’re another great addition to a Christmas Eve box. You can choose something simple or go for a festive design. Either way, they’ll keep your loved ones’ toes nice and toasty all winter long.
There you have it! Some great ideas for what to put in a Christmas Eve box. Whether you’re making one for yourself or giving one as a gift, these items are sure to make the night feel extra special. Happy Holidays!
