Advent Story Countdown

Choose Nativity if you’d like the Christmas story from the Bible, told one part at a time through December. It’s a good fit for Christian families, churches and Sunday schools.

Choose Winter Wonder if you’d like stories that aren’t religious, about winter, kindness and Christmas-time fun. It suits families of all faiths and none, and many classrooms.

Not sure? Have a read of the story lists for both tracks above and pick whichever fits your family or group.

The family pack is for one household. You can:

• download the stories and listen on your own devices
• put them on make-your-own audio cards or figures that you own, for your household
• print the calendar and labels for your household

You can’t share the files, post them online, sell them, or use them in a church, school, nursery or other group. For a group, please choose a church/classroom licence.

One licence covers one named church, Sunday school, school or classroom, at one location, for Advent 2026.

Your leaders or teachers can:

• play the stories to your own groups
• print the calendar and labels for those groups
• keep a copy for your own reference

You can’t send the files to anyone outside your organisation, post them publicly or in a public shared drive, sell them, or use them at other sites. Each extra site or organisation needs its own licence. The licence doesn’t transfer copyright.

At checkout, we’ll ask for the name and location of your church, school or classroom.

Read the full licence terms

One page for each of the 24 stories, with:

• a short summary of the story, so you know what’s coming
• the Bible reference (Nativity) or the story’s theme (Winter Wonder)
• two or three questions to talk about together
• a simple activity idea, and a short prayer for the Nativity track
• a note about anything that might need gentle handling

Episodes are created and narrated with AI. Some episodes publish automatically. After publishing, the BrightPath team checks every episode for quality and child safety.

The voices you hear are AI voices, not real people, and no real person’s voice has been copied.

Each Nativity story is retold from the Bible passage listed with it. We don’t add things the Bible doesn’t say: for example, the Bible doesn’t mention an innkeeper, so our stories don’t have one. When we imagine a small detail, such as what the night sounded like, the story says “perhaps”.

The stories are retellings for young children. Please use them alongside the Bible itself.

The stories are written for children aged about 3 to 8, to enjoy with a grown-up. Every child is different, so please listen to a story first if you’re unsure, and choose what suits your family or group.

The stories are for enjoyment and, in the Nativity track, for exploring the Christmas story. They aren’t a substitute for advice from a professional.

The stories are standard MP3 files, so you can add them to make-your-own audio cards or figures that you own, such as Yoto Make Your Own cards or a Creative-Tonie. They also play on phones, tablets and computers.

BrightPath Audio is independent and isn’t affiliated with or endorsed by Yoto or Tonies.

If you pre-order before 28 November, you’ll get an order confirmation by email straight away. On Saturday 28 November, we’ll email you the link to download your stories, calendar and labels, ready for Advent Sunday on 29 November. If you buy on or after 28 November, you can download straight away.

Please keep your order email: it has your download link.

Your 14 days to change your mind. Under the UK Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, if you buy online as a consumer, you normally have 14 days from the day you buy to cancel and get a full refund.

Downloading. Because the packs are digital downloads, at checkout we’ll ask you to tick a box (it’s never ticked for you) that says: “I want access to my download straight away and I understand I will lose my 14-day right to cancel once the download starts.” If you pre-order, the box says ‘as soon as it is ready on 28 November 2026’ instead of ‘straight away’. Once you’ve started downloading, you can’t cancel. We’ll confirm this in your order email.

Pre-orders. If you pre-order, you can cancel for a full refund at any time within 14 days of ordering, as long as you haven’t started downloading the files.

Something wrong with a file? If a download is faulty or isn’t as described, tell us. Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, we’ll fix or replace it, and if we can’t, you can get some or all of your money back. This doesn’t affect your other legal rights.

We apply the same terms to churches, schools and classrooms. To cancel or ask for a refund, email hello@brightpathaudio.com with your order details.
