CHRISTMAS BOOKS COUNTDOWN TRADITION

Kids love Christmas traditions, and a Christmas books countdown is a good one, especially for young children. Simply wrap a number of books, and unwrap one to read every day of the holiday season. 

One of the perks of the Christmas wrapped books tradition is you can start it anytime. If you want to do all 25 Days of Christmas, be ready to start reading on December 1st. For the 12 Days of Christmas, start reading on December 13. 

MOST LOVED CHRISTMAS BOOKS FOR KIDS

I listed 25 of our favorite children’s Christmas books, both classics and new finds, below. Our picks include books that focus on the traditional Christmas story as well as kindness, giving to others, holiday-themed stories, and creativity.

Look for these books at your local library and check them out for free. Or, if you prefer to purchase books, I have included a direct Amazon link to each of the books on our list. 

Any of these books would be a great addition to your child’s Christmas books countdown! Unwrap and read one book every day to make magical moments together this holiday season.
