Good evening, everybody,

Thank you for taking the time in coming to visit our website.

I thought this year would be the perfect time to share a collection of my stories with you. I have 24 stories to share, each hidden away behind one of these doors, as well as a final Christmas message for you to open on the day itself.

The Calendar is best opened at bedtime; the stories can help you drift off to sleep. That way you can have an advent calendar twice a day, if you’re lucky!

Each story is roughly between 3 – 10 minutes long and can be played directly from your phone or laptop. You can put it through a speaker if you have one.

We’ll use the magic to make sure that a greeting to the young one’s listening is written above the doors, so they know it’s their calendar.

I hope you have as much fun listening to these stories as I did, collecting them.

Wishing you all the best, and can’t wait for you to join me everyday until Christmas.

Yours in merriment,

Father Christmas

Questions from grown-ups

When does each door open?

At 6am UK time on its date, so it’s ready and waiting by bedtime. Door 1 opens on 1 December, door 24 on Christmas Eve, and Father Christmas’s message on Christmas Day.

We missed a night. Is that story gone?

No. Once a door opens it stays open, so you can catch up or replay favourites any time this season.

How long are the stories?

Each one is roughly 3 to 10 minutes, just right for winding down before sleep.

Can we listen on more than one device?

Yes. Sign in with the same email on any phone, tablet or computer, and play it through a speaker if you like.

Will it show my child’s name?

Yes. Tell us who’s listening when you sign up and Father Christmas will write their name above the doors. You can change it from the calendar at any time.

Can I buy one as a gift?

Yes. Create the account with an email you’ll share with the family and pass on the sign-in details.
