A LITTLE CHRISTMAS MAGIC

A Christmas full of us.

A free online Advent calendar for kids and families. Open any window to find a Christmas activity to do together, hear Santa, and watch the picture fill up as the family arrives, with all the fun and wonderful chaos that comes with it.

Father Christmas and Famoo sit at a low table in a cosy room looking at a snowy village picture on a tablet, by a lit Christmas tree and a snowy window.

By Rob and Chris, two Sheffield dads, and our families
