Is there any other way of booking a eurostar reservation if it is "unavailable" on the rail planner app? I have to go on the 1 Jan to Paris from London and cannot buy a seat reservation. Is there any other website where I may be able to book a reservation?
There is a limited number of pass holder seats on the Eurostar and on popular departures and during high season those sell out weeks, and sometimes months in advance.
The best place to see the availability of passholder seats and make reservations on the Eurostar is
https://www.b-europe.com/EN/Booking/Pass#TravelWish
Press "later trains" and eventually you will find the next available connection.
If you have a mobile pass you need to generate a Pass Cover Number in order to make the reservation at b-europe. You do that here in the PCN generator:

There are no pass holder seats available from London to Paris until the 3rd of January. There are pass holder seats from London to Lille on the 1st of January so you can take the Eurostar to Lille and then take another train to Paris.
Reservations for domestic French trains can be made here:
