The countdown is on! One of the most important parts of the holiday season, is the countdown until Christmas arrives. Kids love to keep track of the days in a way that’s like nothing we’ve ever seen. And while they’re basking in the joy and magic of the season, we’re over here in an all out panic…There are how many days left!?
Amp up their joy – and our stress level, with an advent calendar! (There’s even an advent calendar of beauty products and booze for the older crowd). These have come a long way since we were kids, poking through those little cardboard windows and doors for a piece of mediocre chocolate. Because even though it was kind of bad, it still really was the best.
Check out some of our favorite advent calendars for the 2022 into 2022 season, and keep track of how many more sleeps until Santa arrives. Even though they already know because they ask 9 to 14 times a day. Trinketry and nonsense for the win!
