The festive season is about more than gifts under the tree – it’s about the little moments (like reading a bedtime story) that make Christmas feel big!
This Christmas, The Works is encouraging families to slow down, snuggle up and share a story together with its enchanting range of Christmas Eve books for young children.
From heartwarming tales of kindness and giving, to festive adventures filled with sparkle and snow, these stories are the perfect way to bring calm and connection before the big day.
Whether it’s opening a new book from a Christmas Eve box, reading by the glow of the tree lights, or creating a new family tradition, these titles help parents make the night before Christmas extra special.
All products are available nationwide at The Works.
