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.
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.
Want to treat yourself or someone special to a daily indulgence in the runup to Christmas? You can’t go wrong with buying a classic advent calendar featuring all your favourite Cadbury chocolate. You can also find character-themed advent calendars, or even 3D versions for extra impact.
Alternatively, if you’re feeling crafty and are looking for a festive project, you could always try making your own DIY advent calendar. These range in size and ambition from simple to elaborate, so you can easily find one that suits your level of crafting skill, time and budget.
The advantage of a homemade advent calendar is that you can fill it with daily surprises tailored to your lucky recipient’s tastes. For example, you could try the following advent calendar fillings for kids:
Meanwhile, an advent calendar for adults could include:
- Mini beauty or makeup products
- Miniature bottles of gin, whisky or any other favourite tipple
- Tasty bite-sized chocolate bars
- Personalised vouchers for favours like dog - walking, babysitting, or breakfast in bed.
- Savoury snacks such as nuts or crisps
