Christmas Eve

Get ready for the big night with Santa, the reindeer and a plate of cookies.

Christmas Eve is the most exciting night of the year, and these Christmas Eve activities for kids help the waiting feel like part of the fun. On the night, Santa's flight is shown live on the map, so you can watch his sleigh travel across the world. Everything here is free, needs no sign-up and works on phones, so you can follow along from the sofa, the car or Grandma's house.

Start with Track My Street. Tell us where you live and you can see when Santa passes your town. When it is getting close, a friendly go-to-sleep screen reminds everyone that Santa only visits when children are tucked up in bed.

Next, Leave Cookies Out. Put a plate out for Santa and, in the morning, you will find crumbs left behind and a thank-you note. It is a lovely tradition to share with brothers, sisters and grown-ups, and it makes Christmas morning feel even more magical.

Do not forget the reindeer. They have a long night of flying ahead, so give them a snack. Reindeer Food lets you sprinkle oats and glitter, just like the mixture many families scatter on the lawn. It is a quick, sparkly job that even the youngest helpers can do.

Once you have tracked your street, left the cookies and sprinkled the food, watch the live Christmas Eve flight on the map and see Santa's sleigh glide from place to place. Each activity is short and simple, so it is easy to fit them in before bedtime. Grown-ups can enjoy them too, and there are no accounts, no emails and nothing to buy. Families often use these three activities as a bedtime routine on the big night. Track the street together, put the cookies on a plate, scatter the reindeer food and then head up to bed, knowing the village is busy getting ready. The next morning, come back to see the thank-you note and share it with everyone at breakfast, which makes a fun start to Christmas Day.
