Perfect Family Christmas Eve Ideas From B&M

From hanging stockings to writing letters to Santa, Yuletide traditions just make Christmas Eve that little bit more special for children and adults alike.

Thinking of how to make your family Christmas Eve more magical? We've gathered together some amazing tips to help you and your family get set for the night before Christmas.

Cosy Christmas Bedding for Kids

There's nothing quite like a Christmas Eve tradition, and new Christmas bedding for kids continues to be a much-loved family favourite as it combines the excitement of being snuggly warm with the anticipation of the morning to come.

Tuck your little ones in with our gorgeous selection of Kids Christmas Fleece Print Single Duvet Sets - available in Baubles, Gingerbread and Nutcracker prints to keep them warm for less while decorating their bedrooms.

Snuggle Up to Family Christmas Pyjamas

With cosy new bedding boxed off, who could forget brand-new Christmas pyjamas?

We love getting the whole family involved at B&M, and we can't help but love these cute Santa Stop Here pyjamas - available for Men, Ladies and Baby!

But the family pyjama fun doesn't stop here. We've got Reindeer and Christmas Crew family pyjamas for the perfect night in.

B&M Top Tip: Get extra cosy and warm on Christmas Eve with our fabulous range of Snuggle Hoodies - available in a range of styles and sizes for all the family.

Create The Ultimate Christmas Movie Night

Home Alone with the family this Christmas? There's nothing better than sticking a Christmas film on and indulging in your favourite Christmas confectionery.

But for something different, make your Christmas Eve pop with our Heat & Eat Popcorn Maker - perfect for bringing the cinema to your home with some delicious family fun.

You can even gather the family around the Heat & Eat Chocolate Fountain for an extra sweet activity, with its luxurious silky-smooth chocolate flow making the perfect dip for any treat.

And for when you've crafted the hot chocolate of your dreams, the Novelty Christmas Mug with Cookie Holder is on-hand to make your Christmas Eve that little bit more cosy.

Get Ready for Santa

After jumping into your new pyjamas and tucking into a film (or two!), the only thing left to do now is track Santa and prepare for his arrival!

Let's be honest, it wouldn't be a proper Christmas Eve without leaving a few treats out for Santa. 

Did you know? The tradition of leaving cookies and milk out for Santa stretches back to 1930s America when, during the Great Depression, parents would encourage their children to give to others and show gratitiude for gifts received during a time of great economic hardship.

To continue the tradition with your little one, our Treats for Santa Christmas Eve Board is the perfect decorative addition to your Christmas Eve.

If you'd rather leave out individual plates for your visitors, our Christmas Eve Set includes both Santa and reindeer plates for that extra special touch. 

Finally, stories keep the magic of Christmas alive across each generation, and our My Letter to Santa Book is an adorable way to end the night with your little one as you tuck them into bed.
