I recently purchased 3 Xbox games (digital) using my Microsoft login but these games are Christmas presents for my children, who both have their own accounts. How do I transfer the 2 games to my daughter (she has xbox one) & 1 game to my son (he has xbox S)? Will they be able to play them using their own account logins?

Nothing can be transferred between accounts. So since you purchase the games on your account, you would be the owner of the games. You can share the games via the Home setting on a console, but you can only do so on 1 console. https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-network/console/my-home-xbox
Alternatively, you can request a refund on the games, then purchase them as gifts and get codes for the games to redeem on your kids accounts so they will own the games and can play them on their own consoles. https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/subscriptions-billing/buy-games-apps/refund-orders

I'm sorry but nothing is transferable between accounts, in the future you should use the gifting feature to accomplish this
in the meantime we can set their Xbox's to your home Xbox, so that you can share subscriptions, and games. Please note that some games for example call of duty, do not share in that cloud gaming is only accessible via Game Pass ultimate and to the principal subscriber
