Let's Make December Magical Together

Greetings from the sunny shores of Auckland, New Zealand! While our northern hemisphere friends snuggle up for a frosty December, we’re basking in warm summer days, ready to sprinkle a little Christmas magic.

December is such a beautiful time—full of joy, togetherness, and unforgettable moments. At Sparkle & Spell Co., we’re all about creating that magic, whether it’s through advent adventures, mischievous elves, or bubbling potions. The best part? You don’t have to do it alone!

If you’re looking for ways to make this Christmas extra special, grab a cuppa and dive in—we’ve got you covered.

Keeping the Christmas Magic Alive

Advent has always been a magical part of Christmas, turning the countdown to the big day into something extraordinary. Over the years, it’s evolved into a time for family bonding, creativity, and, of course, a little Christmas wonder.

At Sparkle & Spell Co., we’ve made advent even more special with our Magical December Survival Kit, brimming with Letters from the North Pole and ideas to spark joy and connection.

Here's why we believe Advent is so magical:

  • Daily Surprises: From tiny chocolates to daily activities, advent is a reminder that little things matter.
  • Family Time: Whether you’re crafting, baking, or just laughing together, advent brings everyone closer.
  • Imaginative Fun: Activities like potion-making and storytelling let kids dive into a world of wonder.

Elf on the Shelf: Mischief and Magic

Love it or dread it, the Elf on the Shelf has become a holiday tradition for many families. Whether your elf is a master of mayhem or just moves from shelf to shelf, their nightly antics are guaranteed to bring giggles and gasps.

Simple Tips for Elf Success:

  1. Plan Ahead: Or use our pre-made Letters from the North Pole and activity ideas to save time.
  2. Set Alarms: A quick reminder can save you from late-night elf emergencies! Yes, this one I need... after too many early morning abrupt wake ups wondering who moved the elf!
  3. Keep It Fun: Kids will adore even the smallest gestures, so don’t overthink it.

Crafting Christmas Memories

There’s something magical about crafting during the holidays. It’s not just about the glitter (though, let’s be honest, glitter helps); it’s about the laughter, creativity, and messy, memorable moments.

Easy Christmas Craft Ideas:

  • Create custom tree ornaments with felt, paint, or popsicle sticks.
  • Decorate cookies together and share them with neighbours.
  • Make homemade holiday cards with sweet, personal messages.
  • And don't forget the Gingerbread making... a tradition in our home. 

Crafting is the perfect way to slow down, connect, and create something special with your kids.

Kindness is the True Spirit of Christmas

If there’s one thing that makes Christmas really magical, it’s kindness. Teaching kids to spread joy is one of the best gifts you can give them.

Kindness Activities:

  • Bake treats for your neighbours.
  • Write thank-you notes for teachers or friends.
  • Donate toys, books, or clothes to those in need.

Even small acts of kindness can have a huge impact—and they’re a wonderful way to show kids what Christmas is really about.

Magical Play: Spark Their Imaginations

What’s Christmas without a little magic right? Whether it’s pretending to be wizards or brewing up a bubbling potion, imaginative play makes the season unforgettable. What’s Christmas without a little magic right?

There’s nothing quite like stirring up a potion that bubbles, fizzes, and sparkles. Our Magic Potion Kits turn imagination into reality, letting kids create their own festive magic. They make the perfect gift or stocking stuffer and will create unforgettable memories. There is still time to grab a magic potion kit in time for Christmas, but if that's outside your budget, don't worry, we've got your covered.

Finding the Calm in the Chaos

December can be busy—between school events, shopping, and parties, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. That’s why it’s so important to slow down and savour quiet moments with your family.

Ways to Stay Grounded:

  • Read a Christmas story together before bed.
  • Watch a holiday movie with hot cocoa and marshmallows.
  • Reflect on what you’re grateful for this year as a family.

These small moments will stand out just as much as the big ones—and they’ll help you find balance in the holiday rush.
