No! There are no nightly setups and no pressure to invent mischief before you go to bed. Your reindeer's adventures happen with your child, not while they're asleep. Pick up an activity when you fancy one, take your reindeer along on real family adventures, or simply enjoy having them around.

It's a Christmas experience built around your child's very own trainee reindeer. Their reindeer arrives from Wonderwick with an official travel carrier, passport, adoption paperwork, training materials and activities designed to create adventures and memories together throughout December.

Your pack includes your chosen plush trainee reindeer together with their Wonderwick paperwork and Christmas experience materials, including their passport, adoption/training documents, activities and keepsakes. It also includes matching Reindeer Trainer and Trainee Reindeer identification.

Absolutely not. Wonderwick is about making memories, not creating another December to-do list. Choose the activities your family will enjoy, miss the ones that don't suit you and make the experience your own.

There are four Wonderwick trainees to choose from: Tilly, Nico, Merry and Frost. Each has their own personality and specialist training role, so children can choose the reindeer they feel belongs in their family.

Yes. The travel carrier is part of the experience, so the packaging itself is designed to feel like a special delivery from Wonderwick rather than an ordinary shipping box. If you're sending it directly to a child, we'll explain the best delivery option before checkout.

Your trainee travels in their own Wonderwick Reindeer Travel Carrier, accompanied by their adoption materials and everything needed to begin their Christmas training.

The first training year is Christmas 2026, but the concept has deliberately been designed to continue. The reindeer, passport and memories stay with the family, with future Wonderwick adventures able to add another chapter each Christmas.

Absolutely. Tilly, Nico, Merry and Frost can be adopted individually, so families wanting more than one trainee can build their own little Wonderwick training team.

Yes. A trainee reindeer can belong to a child, siblings or the whole family. Families can decide what makes their Wonderwick tradition feel right for them.

Yes — that's actually the idea. Rather than replacing them with a new character every Christmas, your child's relationship with their adopted reindeer can grow with them. Over time, their passport becomes a record of Christmases spent together.

Your reindeer's story can continue. Their passport has been designed as an ongoing record of their Wonderwick adventures, allowing new Christmas visits, memories and North Pole passport stamps to be added in future years.

No. Your reindeer belongs to your family. The Christmas Eve assignment is part of their Wonderwick story — not the end of their adoption.

Wonderwick gives grown-ups different ways to manage the Christmas Eve assignment, so you can choose what works best for your child and your family's Christmas traditions. Full instructions are supplied privately with your adoption.

Once training is complete, your reindeer is ready to report for their very important Christmas assignment. The pack includes the story and materials needed to make this part of the Wonderwick experience. We'll also provide grown-up-only guidance so you know exactly what to do.

The Christmas Training Placement officially begins in December, but exactly when your reindeer arrives is up to your family. We'll provide everything you need to make their arrival feel special.

No. This isn't a nightly mischief tradition and there is no expectation that grown-ups move the reindeer, create elaborate scenes or remember something every evening. Adventures can happen whenever they fit naturally into family life.
