I’m fed up with Christmas and tinsel galore.
This sweet festive fuss is a drag and a bore.
The fairies have fooled me and made me look bad.
But this year I’ll make them feel silly and sad!
This Christmas no stockings will fill up with toys.
No cookies or candy for good girls and boys.
I have a plan that will take all hopes away
And leave stockings empty this dark Christmas Day.

It is about two girls named Kirsty and Rachel. They helped Natalie the Christmas Stocking Fairy to return her magical items. The magical items are the Special Pie, the Special Stocking, and the Special Candy Cane. My favorite part of the book is when Kirsty and Rachel find the missing objects, because it is a happy ending.

This was a good book to read at Christmas time. I really liked it!

Daisy Meadows and her fairies are my childhood. I collected so many in my youth, knowing all the fairies and their importance, and sticking with the two special girls who go to be a part of the magic.
Years ago I had to give my beautiful collection away, now still part of my childhood school where little girls are picking their favourite fairies and playing pretend. It's fun to hear stories from my old teachers telling me how over the years so many students have grabbed these books and fallen in love with the tales of two girls, Jack Frost and the fabulous glittering magic that is the fairies.
On Christmas last year, my sister surprised me with a boxset of these books, but cause you cannot collect these darlings as easily anymore. I was over the moon!
If anyone has a little one who needs a little magic in their life, wants to read and needs a big creation to be hooked on...it is Daisy Meadows!

I enjoyed a lot of this but also it didn't feel as distinct from Cheryl the Christmas Tree Fairy as it could have been.

I asked my 5-year-old how much she liked this book when we finished reading it, and her answer was "A million stars!" This was a fun Christmas book that was really three shorter stories closer in length to others in the series that were all connected.

This was a sweet story. I liked the messages it made about sharing, working together and looking at all sides to a story. The main characters show compassion where it would be easy to ignore and it always makes things work out better for everyone.

I got this book in my stocking when I was nine years old so this Christmas I thought I better read it again for the first time in almost a decade.
The feeling of nostalgia and childhood joy I got out of it was wonderful

This was a sweet read with my 5 year old daughter. I loved that it gave us opportunities to talk about kindness and empathy like the characters in the book. My daughter was entranced and stayed focused the whole time we read.

I'm a bit torn on this one. The plans to recover the items aren't as creative as in other books, but the relationship between the girls and the goblins is actually pretty enjoyable. Not the strongest of the triple-length special editions, but still pretty fun.

I always enjoy 3 stories in 1 storys amazing

A Christmas tradition in our house. Kristy and Rachel help Natalie save Christmas from Jack Frost and his goblins. These books got my girls reading and they’re still going nearly 29 years later.

3.25 Stars!
This book definitely made me feel a lot better after having just read Paige the Christmas Play Fairy!
Pros:
-I really like that instead of Natalie coming to the girls, the girls decided to go to Fairyland. I just thought it was nice to switch it up between books. I also loved that not the entire book took place in the human world, it was really fun to see them travel to Fairyland, specifically Jack Frost's castle.
-There we so many fairy cameos!!! I was so psyched to Crystal the Snow Fairy, it's actually embarrassing. It was nice to see all the Christmas Fairies together, especially Holly since she was the first Special Edition fairy (They even made references to her book!). It made the book feel like the last Christmas/Winter themed book that we would get for a very long time(I mean, we got one 10 books later) and I know for a fact that if I had read this book when it first came out I would've been really sad.
-Was I just never paying attention, or is this the first time that we got to see one of the fairies actually have a box for her 3 items? Regardless, it was a nice touch, especially the fact that it plays Jingle Bells when you open it, that is so cute!
-I like that the stakes were high with this one because they literally had a day to find these items.
-It was fun to switch it up and have the girls bargain with the goblins rather than just steal the items from right under their noses.
-I love how the dynamic between Jack Frost and the goblins bounces between scared henchmen and employees done with their boss's nonsense. The goblins in this book did not hesitate to give up the magical items! The best part for me was the last section of the book in the Ice Castle because you had these goblins complaining about Jack Frost making them work in the cold and then the bogmallows - it was so funny!
-Even at 22, I was confused as to why Natalie would be scared of going into the Ice Castle when the girls clearly weren't, but then I was reminded that not every fairy has seen the inside of this hell castle, unlike Rachel and Kirsty who pop in every other week (They said bye to Jack Frost as they left!). I just know for a fact that if I had read this book for the first time as a kid, I would think that these girls are so cool for being braver than someone with powers. I love these books, I hope that this series never comes to an end.
Cons: I have no complaints, this was a really fun book!

This book was a Christmas present for my 6-year-old daughter Natalie. She obviously loved it, not only because the star fairy in the book shared her name, but also because of the story.
The story follows friends Rachel and Kirsty and their adventures over one Christmas Eve. First they have problems making mince pies which leads them to chase some Goblins and they end up getting beckoned to Fairyland to meet Natalie the Christmas Stocking Fairy who has had three enchanted items stolen: a mince-pie, a stocking and a candy cane. Without these items there will be no mince-pies, no stockings and no sweets at Christmas. The girls then help Natalie to retrieve them.
The book is arranged into three parts which were written as three separate stories and then bundled together as one book, which leads to a little bit of clunkiness between the three parts but that is the only complaint really.
The rest of the book has everything little girls love: best friends, fairies, a fast-moving story of good versus evil, plenty of clear and simple pictures along the way to bring the text alive. It reminded me very much of the Secret Kingdom books I've been reading with my daughter too, so if you liked this you may want to check them out.
Anyway it is only right I give my last words of this review to my daughter Natalie: "The book was fun because Jack Frost was trying to destroy Christmas. He took the three items, but the goblins and Jack Frost didn't like them so gave them back to make Christmas good again. And the two girls, Rachel and Kirsty turned into fairies by magic."

Pretty good
I like the Rainbow Magic series and have read them for a while. I have read all the Christmas fairies and think them pretty good. What they lack is real life. People don't just ask people for things and expect them to give it to them. I would give Rainbow Magic 4 stars.

My six year old really enjoyed it. Pretty standard Rainbow Fairy book, magical items are stolen, Rachel and Kirsty help get them back. Not the worst of the series, but not great.
