We have just added a new Christmas milestone to help you Twile your memories over the festive season.
We encourage you to add this year’s Christmas to your timeline, but also try to add some of your past Christmas memories. Is there a particular Christmas memory that is close to your heart? Are there traditions you remember from your childhood – do you still keep those traditions?
As your Family comes together to enjoy a Christmas dinner, unwrap presents, take lots of photos and make new memories, firstly take a few moments to think about Christmas in years gone by.
Here is how to Twile your Christmas by adding a Christmas Milestone to your Twile timeline…
Create a Christmas Milestone
- Click Add at the top of your Twile timeline
- Click Add milestone
- Select Christmas from the new Holidays section
- Enter the date
- Click Choose photos to add photos from the special day
- Click Add
Add your Christmas photos
Once you have your Christmas milestone, open it to add your photos, creating a visual Christmas story on your timeline. You’ll then have a mini photo album of these memories.
Tag family members
Add people to your new Christmas story so you’ll always know who was there. This also means that the story will show up on each person’s individual timeline of their life. You can tag anyone in your story, as long as they are on your family tree. For more information on how to do this, read our article on adding family members.
Add some comments
Photos are great to look through, but they don’t tell the full story. Was it a child’s first Christmas or the first Christmas in a new home? What was special about the day, what memories would you like to pass forward? Add words to your Christmas story to fill in the details.
Add the location
Where were you this year? Were you at the family home or enjoying Christmas with friends? Were you abroad? Add the location to your story so you’ll always be able to look back and know where you were.
Invite family members
A timeline means so much more when its shared with your family, especially those you shared Christmas with. And because they can all add up to 10 photos every month for free, they can contribute to your story with their own pictures and comments.

From everyone at Twile, we wish you and your whole family a very Merry Christmas… don’t forget to Twile it!
