Meet Caroline, our Head of Customer Happiness UK, IE & France
We’re huge fans of Lapland UK, so when we found the five free stories from Lapland UK on the mytonies app, we couldn’t wait to assign them to our Creative Tonie. One of our favourites is How the Huskies Became Heroes, a heartwarming tale that introduces Father Christmas’ loyal pack. It’s the best way to bring the magic of Lapland UK home and sets the perfect festive mood in the lead-up to Christmas.

Our Creative Tonies work double shifts at Christmas, recording heartwarming messages and stories from Reuben and Millie’s grandparents who live far away and can’t always join us for Christmas. It’s a simple but magical way to keep them involved in the celebrations. And let’s be honest, seeing the kids’ faces light up as they listen? That’s the kind of gift money can’t buy.

Fact: Christmas baking with kids is 1000% better with a Toniebox. We’ve been assigning the Cooking with Father Christmas audio to our Creative Tonies, and let’s just say the results are delicious. The kids love the festive songs and stories while I secretly love the easy, follow-along cooking instructions. Top tip: wrap up those pies as gifts, and you’ll be everyone’s favourite this year.

We travel abroad every Christmas and the Toniebox is always packed for the ride. Not only does it keep the kids entertained on the plane and provide a comforting slice of home while we’re away, but it also gives the kids loads of playtime with their cousins because they’re fascinated by it! Giving us parents some much-needed quiet time to enjoy a Baileys (or two).
Meet Polly, our Content Lead UK
Along with leaving out mince pies, a carrot for the reindeer and a little sherry to help Santa on his merry way, we also set out a Creative Tonie for Santa to record a special message for the kids (via the mytonies app) to discover on Christmas morning. It’s become a magical tradition in our house.
Meet Liz, our Head of Portfolio
This year, our cheeky Elf has been teaming up with the Elf on the Shelf Tonie for some next-level mischief. We’ve just started this festive tradition in our house and it’s been so much fun getting the Tonie involved. So far we’ve set up the Elf drawing the Tonie on the Toniebox and the Elf hosting a Toniebox party. It’s then great fun to listen to long after she’s discovered what the cheeky elf has been up to.
So there you have it, a sneak peek into how the tonies® team are getting the most out of their Toniebox and Tonies this Christmas. Whether it’s bridging the gap between loved ones, listening to stories from Lapland, or rocking around the Christmas tree, the Toniebox takes this season to a whole new level!
