People usually include snacks, drinks, warm winter clothes (like pajamas or socks), a fun Christmas movie, and other affordable gifts in a Christmas Eve Box.

4. Hot Cocoa for a Christmas Eve Box

Few things are better on a cold winter night than a hot glass of cocoa with whipping cream. Or, a deluxe cup of coffee with creamer in the bright and early morning.

I have fond memories of sipping the Land O Lakes premium hot cocoa as a little kid. Buy a large box and then give each member of your family 3-5 packs of hot cocoa!
