"While there's no real origin for the tradition, Christmas Eve boxes started showing up on Pinterest in the early 2010s with ideas like pajamas, snacks, and holiday movies inside, the entire premise being that it gives you and your kiddo something to do - a little holiday plan - before the big day. Now Christmas Eve boxes can range from family gifts to full-on packed, heirloom-quality boxes that rival the gifts being given the next morning."
"I think the most important thing to figure out is what you want the Christmas Eve box to mean to your kids. Do you want it to be a fun little treat to keep them occupied as they wait for Santa to arrive? Do you want it to be full of necessities and practical items so the next day can be all about fun? Do you want it to be items they can do with the family that night, like a game or a Lego set?"
Christmas Eve boxes emerged on Pinterest in the early 2010s and have become a debated modern holiday tradition. They commonly include small items such as pajamas, snacks, and holiday movies meant to create a planned Christmas Eve activity for children. The boxes vary from simple treats to elaborate, heirloom-quality packages that can rival morning presents. Families can choose a purpose for the box—entertainment, practical next-day items, or shared family activities—and then select contents accordingly. Suggested contents range from games and pajamas to small toys like a miniature surprise baby with accessories.
