New phone & contract for xmas

Got new iPhone on contract as a Christmas gift for my daughter so she won’t receive until Xmas day (3weeks away).
The phone and sim have both arrived and are stashed safely  unopened 😬. 
Do I need to do anything in the meantime? She’ll need to xfer the number over but I can’t request a PAC beforehand because then she’ll know. 
whilst I appreciate it’ll take time to fully xfer over I’d like Xmas day to be as stress free as possible and tbf she’ll enjoy staring at her new phone regardless. 
Also, are iPhones network locked?

The iPhone won’t be network locked @Tig Lee.

In addition, you can’t switch a number at the weekend, or on a Bank Holiday.

@andewhite  thank you for this information. She can put her current sim into the new phone then and I’ll switch her number at a later less stressful time 😊
