The Christmas Readathon is back for 2025 and this year our theme is the poem “A Visit from St. Nicholas”, also known as “‘Twas Night Before Christmas”. 🌙
This year we’re running it from the 1st of December all the way though until the end of the year, with 6 cosy prompts to keep up your reading motivation through the festive season. 🎅
The aim of our readathon is to give you some gentle motivation throughout the festive period, when it can be hard to find the time to read. As always, you can double up on prompts and although we encourage reading festive books, if that’s not your cup of tea then you can read any book that fits the prompts! 🎄
