As the holidays approach, many across Canada and the USA begin the search for Christmas gift ideas that go beyond products—they want to gift memories, traditions, and emotional moments. Long before December 25, one tradition in Newfoundland and Labrador quietly kicks off the season with depth and heart: Tibb’s Eve.

Celebrated on December 23, Tibb’s Eve marks the unofficial start of Christmas in Newfoundland. Rooted in heritage, this special evening brings together family, neighbors, food, and laughter—often with a drink or two to toast the season. Closely tied to mummering traditions, where locals dress in disguise and perform house-to-house, Tibb’s Eve embodies the joy of gathering and remembering.

Now, with modern tools, these cherished moments can be preserved like never before.

Preserving Holiday Traditions with Custom 3D Figurines

Before gift cards and mall Santas, Christmas meant togetherness, surprise visits, and stories told by firelight. In Newfoundland, mummering became a signature celebration—costumes, humor, music, and community. These traditions, whether celebrated now or only in memory, are the soul of the season.

And today, more people are turning to personalized holiday gifts that reflect those deep connections.

At The3DMe, we help you turn your favorite holiday memories into custom 3D printed figurines—physical keepsakes that preserve people, places, and moments in stunning detail.
