Getting into the holiday spirit is easy when you have an Advent calendar packed with yummy chocolates to open every evening. The best chocolate Advent calendars include 24 pieces of chocolate — one for every day of December leading up to Christmas Day.
Many families have a special tradition during the month of December, where they open up their Advent calendars together at the same time every day — such as right after dinner — and enjoy a sweet treat with each other in anticipation of the best time of the year.
The best chocolate Advent calendars often include little stories or poems throughout each section. For example, “Twas the Night Before Christmas” is a popular tale found in many Advent calendars. You also might want to look for chocolate shaped or wrapped in Christmas-themed designs. For example, you can get Advent calendars where the chocolate is wrapped to look like mini presents with bows, or ones where the chocolate is shaped like nutcrackers, snowmen and elves.
Whichever chocolate Advent calendar you choose, be sure to start a tradition you can continue every year with your family and friends. For those who live apart from their loved ones, calling each other while opening up the chocolate together makes it all the more special. Many kids love opening up their Advent calendars while cuddled up with their parents, reading a Christmas story.
