Description
Advent calendars, oftentimes also referred to as "Countdown to Christmas" calendars, help to build anticipation for Christmas. The history of the Advent calendar dates back well into the 19th century, when children used chalk drawings to mark each of the days before Christmas. Today's traditional Advent calendars, enjoyed by people of all ages, are made of paperboard and feature 24 perforated windows to open. One window is opened each day beginning on December 1st and ending on Christmas Eve. Upon opening each window, a fun and appropriately themed holiday picture is revealed. Some Advent calendars also include a verse or other text to accompany each picture. Our chocolate Advent calendars also include a delicious piece of milk chocolate crafted in a fun holiday shape!
