What is an Advent calendar?

An Advent calendar is a festive way to count down to Christmas, typically featuring 24 days of chocolates, small gifts, treats, or other surprises hidden behind doors, drawers, or pockets. Advent calendars originated in the 19th century as a way to count down the days until Christmas, evolving from simple daily marks or candles into the decorated calendars we know today. Many people still use Advent candles to keep this annual tradition alive.
