FAQs
The Storybook Set includes a hardcover copy of Sparkle Hollow and the Jolly Jubilee, and a deck of Creativity Cards that turn the story into 25 days of screen-free activities.
Read the story, then use a new card each day to bring Sparkle Hollow to life at home.
The set is designed for creative kids ages 4–9. Younger children may need a bit more help reading, while older kids can take the lead on the activities and put their own spin on the prompts. It is perfect for kids who love art or love to use their imaginations.
The Creativity Cards are like a story-driven advent calendar without the sugar rush. Each card connects back to Sparkle Hollow and invites kids to draw, build, imagine, move, or create something new.
You can use one card a day for 25 days or mix and match at your own pace throughout the season.
Think “guide on the side,” not “full event planner.” Grown-ups can read the story and introduce each day’s card, then kids take the lead.
Some activities are fully kid-driven, while others invite quick family moments like sharing ideas, telling stories, or creating something together.
It is the perfect alternative to busy parents who don't want to stress over the elf!
Yes. The storybook, Joy plush, and Creativity Cards are all designed for hands-on, imaginative play with no apps or log-ins required. Families can absolutely share their creations online if they’d like, but the experience itself lives in stories, conversations, and play.
The Storybook Set is built as a full experience, not just a book or a plush. The hardcover story, heirloom-quality Joy, and 25 Creativity Cards work together to create a month of memories, not a one-day distraction. It’s designed for families who want fewer “plastic pile” gifts and more meaningful traditions.
Yes. The story and activities are designed to grow with your child. Kids may respond differently to the same prompts each year as their imagination and skills grow, which keeps the tradition feeling fresh while Joy becomes part of your family’s holiday story.
Sparkle Hollow & the Jolly Jubilee
A cozy Christmas adventure for imaginative kids who love turning cardboard boxes into castles and dreaming up their own kind of holiday magic.
This year at their annual Jolly Jubilee party, Joy and her friends want to try something new, but not everyone is open to their ideas. The friends must decide whether to give in and keep things the way they have always been, or hold true to their own imaginations and create a celebration that feels right to them.
Read the story, meet the characters, then use a new card each day to turn your home into your family’s own version of Sparkle Hollow.
