Twas the Night Before Puck Drop

Where Christmas Magic Meets Hockey Dreams!

A beloved favorite in the ’Twas the Night Before series, ’Twas the Night Before Puck Drop combines two things kids can’t get enough of: Christmas and hockey. Imagine a frosty backyard rink, a flash of red and white, and a jolly old elf who still skates like a pro.

It all starts when a hockey mom tucks her little player into bed—only to spot something unbelievable outside. Is that… Hockey Santa? And who are those dangling on the rink like it’s Game 7? Hockey legends of the past are back for one magical night, and Santa’s not just dropping gifts—he’s dropping dishing out saucer passes and sniping top corner.

✔ Perfect for hockey fans and holiday lovers
✔ A heartwarming mix of magic, nostalgia, and frozen fun
✔ Ideal for cozy bedtime reading on chilly winter nights

Think Field of Dreams, but on ice—with gloves, sticks, and the spirit of the game. This special lap board book edition celebrates pond hockey, Christmas magic, and the joy of believing that anything is possible on Christmas Eve.
