The Best Advent Calendars if You Want a Little Childhood Magic this Season

I am a firm believer that no matter your age, you deserve to feel the magic of the holiday season. One way I love to do that is through a fun Advent Calendar! An Advent Calendar is a 24 day countdown to Christmas, though there are many that are 12 days for pricier items or 8 days for Hanukkah.

It’s just a small, little thing to enjoy each day of December. And, I do have a pro-tip if you suffer from the post holiday blues like I do: get one on sale at the end of December and save it for January! I did this with the Sugarfina Advent Calendar one year and it was so fun to look forward to a little sweet treat each day as I went back to work after the holidays and the winter blues set in.

I think a coffee, tea, or sweet treat calendar works best for this!

Bon Maman Jam —I’ve never gotten this calendar but I love watching the videos of people opening them up each day for breakfast or dessert! I might get it this year because I think I could use the little jars as well.

Lego City —I did one of these my first Christmas in NYC! It was so fun to do every night and I put together the pieces each year to display!

William Sonoma 12 Days of Swedish Candy—YUM. I miss having a William Sonoma nearby!

Harry & David 24 Days of Tea—I’ve done the David’s Tea one before and loved it!

The Book Lovers Puzzle Advent Calendar—I am not a puzzle gal but I think this could make me be one, since it would just be a little at a time.

The Twelve Loves of Christmas—Advent Calendar in Book form! I have this one and I can’t wait to read it every morning with my coffee in December.

Papier Advent Calendar for Journal Lovers—On the pricy side but would also make a great gift!

Olive & June 12 Days of Mani Magic—In the past, there’s always been a 24 day one, which I’ve had twice, but it seems they didn’t come out with it this year. There’s also one for press on nails and an 8 day countdown for Hanukkah.

Nespresso 24 Days of Espresso —Nick gets this one every year and you always get a special gift on the last day. Would be a great January option!

Sugarfina 24 Days of Candy—I loved this one! Pricy, but if you can catch it on sale, totally worth it.

Bibliophile Advent Calendar for Book Lovers—A great affordable option, as many book advent calendars can get pricy.

Mini Book Advent Calendar—How cute!

Personalized Book Advent Calendar —Choose either a 12 or 24 day option to feel the joy of unwrapping a new book each day!

Are you can advent calendar person? I truly think they’re so fun! One year, I’d like to create our own for our family so it’s not all one thing. But until then, one of these will do. Now, to pick one for myself…

It’s the most wonderful time of the year!
