What is an Advent Calendar?

Traditionally, the advent calendar served as a countdown for the holiday season starting on December 1 – December 24th. On each day, behind a flap or a door, you are rewarded with a sweet treat or small gift. On the 24th, the treat is larger in celebration of the big day on Christmas eve.

A classic advent calendar is made out of wood and can be refilled with holiday gifts each year it’s a festive countdown celebration.

Where to Shop for an Advent Calendar?

You can easily find them at grocery stores, Costco, and Trader Joe’s sells a version for dogs that looks adorable and sells out quickly. The major department stores sell them along with Williams Sonoma, and Amazon.
