The Night Before Christmas Potion Kit invites curious minds to blend holiday magic with a touch of hands-on science. This erupting botanical kit turns a cozy festive moment into a bubbling, sparkling spectacle—the perfect activity to elevate Christmas Eve traditions. Simply add your dry ingredients to the mini bucket, splash in the ruby waters, and watch the magic unfold before your eyes.
What’s inside this enchanting kit:
- Cinnamon & Cranberry Sparkle Fizzy Mix – a warm, festive scent paired with a safe, fizzing reaction that delights sensory curiousity.
- Ruby Waters – the vivid liquid that brings color and life to the eruption.
- Mini Metal Bucket and Wooden Scoop – a sturdy, reusable vessel that adds ritual and charm to the experiment.
- Orange Crumble – a festive component that adds texture and playfulness to the experience.
- Reindeer Food – a sprinkle of holiday magic to polish the night’s storytelling moment.
How it works
Designed for simple, safe fun, this kit lets little scientists mix the dry botanicals in the bucket, introduce Ruby Waters, and observe a colorful eruption. The result is engaging, educational play that blends the thrill of discovery with the spirit of Christmas.
What makes this kit stand out
- Plant-based, hand-mixed botanicals give each kit its own character and color variation, making every session a unique experience.
- Small-batch craft ensures attention to detail and a tactile, hands-on ritual kids can repeat year after year.
- Educational play connects festive fun with light chemistry concepts—perfect for curious kiddos who love to learn by doing.
- Practical props (bucket and scoop) transform science from a one-off experiment into a repeatable, magical activity that families can cherish together.
Safety, guidance, and best practices
- The kit is designed for use under adult supervision. The fizz involves acids and bases, so supervision helps ensure safe, enjoyable play.
- Please read and follow the included safety instructions before using the kit. Keep the workspace clear, well-lit, ventilated, and away from food.
- Eye protection is advised for supervising adults; avoid contact with eyes and wash hands after handling the ingredients.
- Dispose of the chemicals responsibly according to national regulations; do not pour down the sink unless directed.
- Contents may include glitter, dried petals, mica, and essential oils. Some botanicals are plant-based and handcrafted, which can result in slight color variations between batches.
- The kit is produced in a facility that may process allergens such as wheat, dairy, celery, eggs, and nuts; if you have concerns, review the allergen note before use.
- What you will need beyond the kit: a dish or bowl for mixing (if not supplied with your chosen kit). Eye protection for supervising adults is not included unless specified.
The Night Before Christmas Potion Kit is more than a toy—it’s a storytelling, science-infused ritual that brings families together around a bubbling, sparkling centerpiece. It’s ideal for cozy holiday evenings, science-minded kids who crave tactile, hands-on experiments, and anyone looking to replace screen time with festive, memorable moments.

We Have Lots More Like This.........
Hello, we are Sostter....
Sostter began, as all good ideas do, with a lively conversation and a shared sense of frustration. Why had the world of independent design become so serious, so samey, so… beige? Where was the spark, the imagination, the sheer joy of discovering something that made you stop and stare?
We dreamt of a marketplace that celebrated difference — where curious minds could explore a world of independent brands, design-led makers, and thoughtful artisans. A space that felt exciting, human, and beautifully imperfect. Today, Sostter brings together remarkable people and their creations — from London to Lausanne, Brooklyn to Berlin — uniting makers and discoverers through craftsmanship, creativity, and conscience.
Every object tells a story, and every purchase supports an independent brand doing things differently. Explore our British makers, discover sustainable brands, browse women-led businesses, find the perfect gift for her, or simply wander through our new arrivals and see what finds you.
This is just the beginning. But enough about us — read all about us, or step inside and see what catches your imagination.
