Family Friendly Christmas Children’s Books – Ages 2 to 8

Welcome to the cozy and magical month of December my friends!

To inspire you and your little ones into the Holiday mood, I’ve curated a list of Christmas-themed books for ages 2 to 8! These selections are simple and festive, while remaining relatively short and sweet for the younger audience.

If you’re looking for a list of family friendly Christmas children’s books for children under 5 years of age, I’ve created a list for that too! You can find that list here.

If you have a favorite Christmas book for children ages 2 to 8 that you do not see here, please let me know! I would love to add it to this list!
