✨ The Christmas Flame ✨
A magical story in 24 nightly chapters — perfect for families to read together this December.
Looking for a family Christmas book to read each night of December? The Christmas Flame is a festive adventure filled with elves, reindeer, mischief, and mystery. With 24 short chapters, it’s designed as a nightly read-aloud for children aged 6–9 — the perfect bedtime story and holiday tradition.
It’s said by some that Christmas itself is the greatest miracle of all. But few know the truth—that the magic of the season depends on a single glowing flame at the heart of Lapland. This flame is kept alive by goodwill, kindness, and the spirit of giving. If it falters, Christmas itself is at risk.
For centuries the elves of the North Pole have tended the flame, guided by the Balance of Deeds—a mystical scale that tips toward good or bad depending on the choices of children and grown-ups around the world. As long as goodness prevails, Christmas shines bright. But darkness has been stirring at the far South Pole, where a mysterious band of creatures called the Goarves—acting under the instruction of a shadowy cloaked figure—plot to steal the magic for themselves.
When the flame begins to weaken, Santa knows the elves must act quickly. Among them is Maya, a determined young elf desperate to prove herself worthy of promotion. Sent on a quest filled with tests of courage, she discovers that bravery isn’t always about strength—it’s about choosing what is right, even when it’s hard.
Meanwhile, mischievous scout elves Pepper and Pip are dispatched to the human village of Elapai. Their job is simple: watch over children, gather goodwill, and report back. But when the Goarves infiltrate the village, mischief turns to mayhem. Soon, the children themselves are caught up in the adventure, learning that their actions matter far beyond their own home.
In the snowy forests, the magical Snowberry Fairies—who play a vital role in the magic of Christmas—are strangely silent. Their familiar song is not heard. Where can they be? Without them, the balance of nature and Christmas itself may be lost.
And high above the clouds, Santa faces his own struggle: guiding out-of-control reindeer, managing chaos at the North Pole, and holding onto the joy that makes Christmas possible.
Across 24 enchanting chapters, this Advent storybook unfolds like a calendar—one magical night at a time. Each chapter builds suspense and wonder as the elves, children, and creatures of Lapland race to save the flame before Christmas Eve. Themes of friendship, forgiveness, courage, and kindness shine through, reminding readers that even the smallest act of goodwill can tip the balance toward light.
With a cast of unforgettable characters—Maya the brave elf, Pepper & Pip the mischievous scouts, Jasper the cheeky Arctic fox, and Milo the polar bear with his waistcoat and flying goggles—this children’s Christmas book is filled with heart, festive magic, and laugh-out-loud humour.
Perfect for children aged 6–9 (and anyone young at heart), The Christmas Flame is designed to be read aloud each December night, turning story time into a family tradition. Whether shared at bedtime or curled up by the tree, it offers a countdown to Christmas full of laughter, wonder, and excitement.
🎄 Why you’ll love it:

A rich cast of elves, children, and fantastical creatures
A heart-warming blend of adventure, comedy, and festive magic
A laugh-out-loud funny story with moments the whole family will enjoy

Christmas is more than presents and decorations—it’s the choices we make, the kindness we share, and the flame of goodwill we keep alive together.
