The best chocolate gifts for your children’s Christmas Eve box

Get your little ones ready for the big day with the magic and wonder of a Christmas Eve box. From Christmas chocolate gifts for kids to comfy new pyjamas, what will you be adding this festive season?

Ah, Christmas Eve. It’s a night of twinkling lights, magic, and the excitement of delightful surprises in the morning. And what better way to prepare for Santa’s visit than with a Christmas Eve box filled with treats? Let us guide you through our selection of Christmas chocolate gifts for children.

Made with ethically sourced cacao and crafted into charming shapes, our chocolates offer more than sweetness. Each bite is a taste of holiday cheer, made with the finest cacao we have to offer.

Santa Tiddly Pot

These mini treats are ideal for little fingers, featuring chocolate buttons cast in smooth milk chocolate. Our Tiddly Pot creations are specially made with more cacao and less sugar. This creates a richer flavour profile that’s gentle on young taste buds but full of natural chocolate flavour.

Each Santa Tiddly Pot is brimming with cacao spheres, encouraging kids to savour (as best they can) the quality of our milk chocolate. They’ll discover smooth, creamy textures crafted through our meticulous conching process, ensuring each piece melts luxuriously on the tongue.

Milk Chocolate Reindeer Sleigh Team

Sculpted with care by our chocolatiers, each reindeer in this cheeky collection embodies our attention to craftsmanship. You can see it in their expressive, wide eyes and fine details that bring Santa’s sleigh to life.

For parents, our sleigh team is an ideal opportunity to introduce the concept of quality chocolate to little palates. Made from our signature high-cacao milk chocolate, our Milk Chocolate Reindeer Sleigh Team combines smoothness and depth with creamy textures — perfect for captivating children and adults alike. 

A Waddle of Penguins Gift Tin

The adorable Waddle of Penguins Gift Tin captures the playful charm of Christmas perfectly. These sweet little penguins are crafted from milk chocolate, encased in an elegant tin that’s perfect for restoring to contain holiday season tidbits. Children will adore marvelling at each penguin’s dapper yellow chocolate booties. Meanwhile, parents can rest assured knowing they’re indulging in premium chocolate.

Our chocolate penguins bring a delicate balance of smooth creaminess and an earthy hint, both key characteristics of our chocolate. Pop them in the Christmas Eve box for a whimsical, child-friendly treat. (Plus, it’s elegant enough to even share with grown-up guests).

Caramel Jolly Penguin

Every Christmas Eve box needs that centrepiece treat, and the Caramel Chocolate Jolly Penguin is here to deliver. This adorably plump chocolate penguin features caramel-infused chocolate for a velvety profile that’s perfect for kids with a bit of a sweet tooth. The notes of rich caramel blend harmoniously with creamy milk chocolate, creating a taste that lingers without ever overwhelming.

And, for those seeking dairy alternatives, we offer a Nutmilk version. We’ve crafted the Unbelievably Vegan* Jolly Penguin from finely milled hazelnuts. These characterss are perfect for vegan* families. The Nutmilk version maintains the same creamy, velvety mouthfeel as traditional milk chocolate — because indulgence doesn’t have to be compromised.

Slip one of these happy chaps into your children’s Christmas Eve box and watch their eyes light up.

*We believe this chocolate is suitable for vegans. However, as it is made in the same environment as our milk chocolate, we cannot guarantee it is free from milk.

Milk Chocolate Santa Lick

There’s something delightfully old-fashioned and nostalgic about a chocolate lollipop, and our Milk Chocolate Santa Lick brings this appeal to life. Shaped like a smiling Santa, this chocolate on a stick is crafted from our signature high-cacao milk chocolate, ensuring it’s rich, creamy, and not overly sweet.

Perfect for nibbling or licking, this portly chocolate Santa lollipop is a wonderful addition to their Christmas Eve box, capturing both the joy of the season and unique flavour.

Cookies Luxe – Christmas Edition

For little bellies that can handle the richness of cacao, our Cookies Luxe – Christmas Edition offers a satisfying bit of crunch. These chocolate-covered biscuits combine crunchy cookie textures with smooth chocolate, creating a satisfying, layered bite.

Each cookie is made with high-cacao milk chocolate, offering a balance of sweetness and depth that’s ideal for children and adults. Pop these into your child’s Christmas Eve box as a treat to be enjoyed while cuddled up in their festive pyjamas, or save a few to share during family time.

A Dozen Chocolate Gingerbread Men

These chocolate gingerbread men are brimming with charm and pair perfectly with a warm holiday storybook and a glass of milk. Watch as your little ones giggle over their smiling faces and their smart outfits. Each one is finished off with a sophisticated bow tie.

The high-cacao milk chocolate is smooth yet robust. The perfect hint of gingerbread spice makes these little figures the perfect balance of festive flavour and high quality.

Christmas Eve box gift ideas for kids

A Christmas Eve box is a magical experience for your little ones before the big day, filled with little gifts that ignite imagination and warm the heart. Here are some more enchanting ideas to make your children’s Christmas Eve box truly special.

• Festive pyjamas: A cosy pair of pyjamas with seasonal patterns — think snowflakes, reindeer, or twinkling stars — perfect for a snug night before Christmas.
  
• Christmas storybook: A classic holiday story can add to the bedtime excitement. Classics like The Night Before Christmas or The Polar Express will create lasting memories for a welcome sense of wonder.
  
• Reindeer food: A small pouch of oats mixed with a bit of edible glitter or sprinkles makes a great treat for Santa’s reindeer.
  
• Hot chocolate sachets and marshmallows: A small sachet of hot chocolate and a packet of mini marshmallows — so they can enjoy a warm, creamy drink while winding down for the night.
  
• A letter from Santa: A handwritten note “from Santa” will go a long way in creating a magical Christmas atmosphere.
  
• A Christmas teddy: A soft, festive-themed toy like a reindeer, snowman, or little Santa can add a comforting touch. They can cuddle it throughout the excitement and suspense of Christmas Eve night!
