Quick answer: The best Christian Christmas gifts for kids are screen-free gifts that keep teaching after the wrapping paper is gone. Our top picks for 2026 are the Series 1 Giving Adventure 10-book bundle ($75 in paperback), the Generous Family Magazine for kids ages 4 to 12, and You Go First, a Christian conversation card game the whole family can play together.
Christmas is the one season when generosity is already in the air. Kids feel it. They see it. So why not give them a gift that helps it stick?
Every pick on this list comes from Generous Family, part of the I Like Giving movement started by Brad Formsma. Our magazine is made with Candace Cameron Bure, and our work has been featured on Fox News and Us Weekly. We build everything for one reason: to help families put Jesus at the center of everyday life. Not just on Sunday. Not just in December.

How do you choose a Christian Christmas gift for a child?
Ask three simple questions:
- Will it still matter in February? The best gifts get used again and again, not tossed in the toy bin.
- Does it get them off a screen? Books, magazines, and games build connection. Screens usually don't.
- Does it point them to Jesus? Look for gifts that teach kindness, gratitude, and generosity in a way kids actually enjoy.
If a gift checks all three, you've found a winner. Want to make giving part of the whole season? Try our 25 Days of Giving Advent calendar.
