ADVENT TRADITIONS

The term “advent” derives from the Latin for “coming”, and refers to the four weeks of preparation and waiting observed in the Christian calendar in the lead-up to Christmas.
Although there is some debate over who created the first advent calendar, the tradition seems to have been inspired by 19th-century Lutherans, who counted each day in the runup to Christmas by adding chalk marks to their door.
The first commercial advent calendars were produced in Germany in the early 20th century, and the idea became popular with children (and adults!) across the Western world in the decades that followed.

TYPES OF ADVENT CALENDAR

There are many different styles of advent calendar, but most feature 24 small doors for you to open – one on each day of December up to Christmas Day. Behind each door is an image, sweet or other tiny surprises, with one of the most popular options being a bite-sized morsel of delicious chocolate (our favourite!).

You can also find larger advent calendars made up of 24 boxes, pouches or bags – perfect for concealing slightly larger treats, such as small toys. Although advent calendars were originally marketed for children, today the tradition is popular with all ages, with many calendars designed specifically for grown-ups.
