Tips and tricks
🎄 Add extra sparkle to the Christmas tree decorations with metallic pens or a few touches of glitter.

❄️ Colour the snowy landscape using different shades of white and very light blue to make it look more realistic.

🎅🏻 To make the beard and the trim of the hat look soft and fluffy, gently add very light grey or a hint of sky blue. Don’t leave them just plain white!

Frequently asked questions
Why do we hang up mistletoe at Christmas?

Mistletoe is traditionally hung as a symbol of good luck and to encourage a bit of romance – like sharing a kiss underneath it.
This custom began in England in the 18th century, and people believed that one berry should be picked off after each kiss given under the mistletoe.


How is the snow we see in winter formed?

Snow forms when water vapour in the atmosphere freezes and turns into tiny ice crystals.
As these crystals fall, they join together to make larger snowflakes, creating the beautiful winter landscapes we enjoy so much.


Do Father Christmas and Mrs Claus exist in other cultures?

Yes, some cultures have similar figures. For example, in Russia there are Ded Moroz and Snegurochka.
There are also other gift-giving characters linked to winter celebrations, such as La Befana in Italy, who is part of their festive traditions.


How did the Christmas tree tradition start?

The tradition of the Christmas tree began in Germany in the 16th century, using evergreen trees as a symbol of life and hope during the winter.
It gradually spread and became popular in other parts of the world during the 19th century.


Why does <strong>Father Christmas</strong> wear a red suit?

The red suit of Father Christmas, although he was once shown wearing other colours, became widely popular in the early 20th century thanks to advertising campaigns.
Over time, this version became the standard image of Father Christmas that we recognise today.
