Countdown to Christmas Calendars
December 9, 2022
The holidays are here, which means the time of year where everyone is anticipating the excitement of Christmas morning! My favorite way to countdown to Christmas is through fun advent calendars or 12 days of Christmas countdowns. Each day leading up to Christmas, you open a compartment in the calendar that contains a small treat. Not only is it fun to watch your calendar get closer and closer to Christmas day, but it is also very exciting and suspenseful to learn what you will receive each day. Below are some of my favorite advent calendars and countdowns to Christmas–or ones that I would like to try in the coming years!
- ULTA TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS: Each day for the 12 days leading up to Christmas, open each compartment to find a small sample of makeup, lotion, or other self-care product. I will be trying this Christmas countdown calendar for the first time this year, and I can’t wait to see what’s inside! This countdown is perfect for anyone who likes to try new products before purchasing them in full sizes or anyone looking to relax with lotions or stand out with makeup. https://www.ulta.com/p/12-days-of-beauty-set-pimprod2035198
- FIDGET TOYS ADVENT CALENDAR: If the holidays make you restless or you just can’t seem to sit still through the weeks in school leading up the Christmas break, this is the countdown for you! This calendar includes several different Christmas-themed pop-its (which are becoming increasingly popular), twist tubes, cubes to fidget with, and more surprises. Purchase this advent calendar on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Advent-Calendar-2021-Surprises-Christmas/dp/B0995Q9Z6H

- YANKEE CANDLE ADVENT CALENDAR: Though a little more on the expensive side, this Christmas countdown will fill your house with 24 different Christmas smells. Open a different scented Yankee candle each day! I am confident that this calendar will be both relaxing and suspenseful as you wait to see which candle you will open next.
If you are like me and can’t wait for Christmas, I would encourage you to anticipate the big day with one of these countdowns. These will be fun to do on your own or share with friends and family. Starting a countdown is a great way to kick off this fun time of year!
