The first of December is not far away, and I always get so excited about my Advent calendar! There’s just something so special about that daily countdown to Christmas. The anticipation, the little surprises, and the joy it brings to everyone in the house. I love seeing which advent calendars people choose each year, so I thought I’d share a few I’ve found for 2025.
There’s definitely something here for everyone in the family!
Crayola Festive Crafting Advent Calendar
If you are looking for 24 days of crafting fun, the Crayola Festive Crafting Advent Calendar is perfect. I’ve actually picked this one up for Nila this year, and it’s jam-packed with fun bits and bobs to do every evening. From colouring and glueing to decorating, it’s brilliant for after-school fun and definitely helps reduce iPad time, which has been my challenge over the past few weeks!. It’s such a creative way to make the countdown to Christmas feel even more magical.
RRP: £14.99 - available on Amazon
Vista Print Personalised Advent Calendars
Vista Print are a staple for us every single year. You can customise your advent calendar however you like, add a favourite family photo, your little one’s picture with Santa, or a festive design that fits the theme in your home. You can choose from lots of choccies, Lindt, Milka, or Toblerone, so it tastes as good as it looks! These make such a lovely keepsake too and are a great way to make the countdown to Christmas extra special.
RRP: £19.99
Playin’Choc Eco-Friendly 12-Day Advent Calendar
The Playin’Choc 12-day advent calendar is one of the cutest and most eco-friendly options I have found. Behind each little window, you get a cute festive toy, one of their delicious organic chocolates, and a fun facts card. The outer box also turns into a little play station for all twelve toys, such a clever and sustainable idea.
RRP: £13.43 - available on Amazon
Baker Ross Santa Countdown Clocks
We love a good Christmas craft day in our house, and Baker Ross never disappoints! Their Santa Countdown to Christmas Clocks are such a fun, creative way to keep the excitement going all December long. You can make them together with your little ones and of course, pair them with a few chocolates on the side. These make a lovely family activity and a great little festive display too.
RRP: £5.95 (pack of four) - available from Baker Ross
Lush 29 High Street Advent Calendar
The key to my heart this time of year is definitely the Lush Advent Calendar. The 29 High Street edition is absolutely bursting with bath bombs, bubble bars, and even a few exclusive items you can’t get on their own. It’s the ultimate treat for someone who loves a long hour in the bath :). Honestly, it’s self-care heaven in a box and well worth it if you love a bit of pampering through December.
RRP: £125 - available at Lush
Gibsons Merry Mischief Puzzle Advent Calendar
Something a little different for the adult crafters is the Gibson's Merry Mischief Puzzle Advent Calendar. Each day, you get a mini jigsaw puzzle to complete, and each one includes a string so you can hang it as a cute little decoration. My mum has had this one before, and I am excited to do this one this time :)
RRP: £35.00 - available on Amazon
Lily’s Kitchen Advent Calendar for Cats
We can’t forget about our furry family members! The Lily’s Kitchen Advent Calendar for Cats is such a sweet way to let your pet join in with the festive countdown. Each day is filled with natural, grain-free treats your cat will absolutely love. It’s a lovely way to make sure even your pets feel included in the Christmas excitement.
RRP: £8.50 – available at Pets at Home
I’d love to know which Advent calendar you will be going for this year. Let the Christmas countdown begin!
