Heading to Goodison Park on Monday for the visit of Liverpool? Here’s what’s going on around the ground ahead of the 227th Merseyside derby…
Blue CrimboThis fixture has been designated as the Club’s Christmas game, when we will celebrate Blue Crimbo!
The FanZoneJoin hosts Claire Simmo and Gav from 5pm for plenty of festive activities.
FA Cup-winning midfielder Joe Parkinson will be joining us to discuss his Goodison career and to preview Monday’s big game with evertontv presenter Darren Griffiths.
Meanwhile, there will be Christmas music throughout, including a set from gospel choir Inspirational Voices, who have recently featured on BBC One.
Blue Santa will be on hand to meet the younger Blues, while there will also be an inflatable grotto and free Blue santa hats for all in attendance.
Fancy grabbing a bite to eat? There will be food and drink stalls serving turkey, stuffing and cranberry sauce barms, mince pies, mulled wine and much more.
The Matchday HubFind time to call into the Matchday Hub in Everton Free School on Spellow Lane - a particularly perfect pre-match stop for any young Blues and their families.
Blue Santa will also be making an appearance here, with young Blues welcome to visit Santa’s grotto to receive gifts.
There will be free coaching sessions taking place from 6pm - click here for more information.
With performances from the Salvation Army band, a live DJ, facepainting, quizzes for adults and kids and plenty of festive food and drink on offer in addition to the above, there really is plenty to do during the countdown to kick-off.
St Luke's ChurchOpen prior to kick-off, the famous church on Goodison Road is home to Everton memorabilia and exhibitions.
With gifts on sale and the Everton Heritage Society's various displays, there's plenty of history for Toffees to discover before the big game.
In addition, Jim Keoghan - author of ‘Highs, Lows and Bakayokos’, a book that explores the Blues in the 1990s - will be signing copies of his latest publication.
As well as reflecting on the lows on and off the pitch, the book also seeks to redefine this often maligned decade. Memorable games, silverware and moments of unadulterated elation; the 1990s was a time of emotional intensity, an era that moved fans in many different ways.
PitchsideAfter getting in the mood outside the stadium, be sure to get to your seat in plenty of time to hear the Salvation Army band perform ahead of the match.
There will also be entertainment from a gospel choir at half-time and a return of the Goodison ‘Kiss Cam’!
