Christmas Eve Box Kit: Printable Lid Labels, Gift Tags and Evening Plan

A 12-page printable kit for the family that gives the children a Christmas Eve box: one box of small things to open on the evening before Christmas, which in 2026 is Thursday 24 December.

The kit does not tell you what to put in the box. It gives you the paper to make it yours. Inside: a full-size lid label, three lid bands and six small labels, in different styles, to cut out and stick on any box with a lid; twelve gift tags in three looks; a "what goes in" checklist with columns for three children (pyjamas, a book, something to watch, a hot drink, a game, a treat, something to make, a note, and two blank rows); a plan for the evening with a time and a note for each step; a night-before interview of eight questions to repeat every year; a page to give to relatives who have not met the custom, which describes it as a family custom and leaves blanks for what is in your box and how they can join in; a box log with nine rows to record the years; and a week-before list counting back from Sunday 20 December.

Where the pages say who does a step, they say it plainly: a grown-up cuts out the labels and tags, an adult makes the hot drinks. The kit names no films, books or brands, so you choose your own. Prints on US Letter or A4 at 100 percent; the lid label is 6.4 inches square. Spelling is British (pyjamas, favourite).
