9 of the Coolest Advent Calendars We’ve Seen So Far This Year — Starting at $20
Advent calendars have never been more elaborate or entertaining, and right now you can get some of the best from retailers like Amazon and Anthropologie. We’ve seen elegant calendars for adults and light-hearted ones for kids slowly popping up over the last few months, but they’ve been ramping up even more recently.
Anthropologie started things off in September with an adorable line of holiday trimmings and advent calendars. Not your usual cardboard boxes filled with chocolates, these decorative calendars put style first — and some are even marked down right now. One is made of handcrafted cotton and wool for a soft advent calendar that you can hang on a wall or a door (now $20 off). And there’s even a playful advent calendar designed to look like a large apartment building that you can reuse year after year.
For pop culture-obsessed families, Amazon offers plenty of fun, unique advent calendars that are sure to be crowd pleasers. The retailer is stocked with favorites like this Marvel-themed Funko advent calendar and this Mickey Mouse one stuffed with Disney trinkets.
Now that we’re weeks away from the month of December, it’s definitely time to stock up on the holiday essential. Keep scrolling to shop a few of the best advent calendars we’ve found so far.
