Count Down to Christmas With These Advent Calendars Your Kids Will Love!

By: Cheslyn Garland

It feels like every year, the countdown to Christmas gets longer and longer. Are we sure it’s still only 24 days? Thank goodness for advent calendars for kids, to keep me and my family sane.

Aside from providing a way to count down to Christmas, advent calendars are a cute part of any holiday decor! They capture the magic of gifts, and time together. We even love to throw Christmas Activities into ours! A little dose of joy for each day, leading up to Christmas.

A little smile for each day of December!

For mom and dad, we have the beer advent calendar from Costco. Or maybe the Costco Wine Advent Calendar… we haven’t decided, yet!

My son is still on the Fortnite Advent Calendar, but that still leaves plenty of kids for me to shop for! I even found an advent calendar for our dog!

The Best Advent Calendars for Kids

The most common advent calendars, these days, are the ones with little toys inside! When I was growing up, they were a lot less fancy than they are, now. I’m kinda jealous! Part of me wants to get the Pokemon Advent calendar for myself! You can even take these toys and put them to stuff your own, fun Advent calendar, if you’d like!

These are the best rated and most popular advent calendars for kids, available on Amazon!

Candy Advent Calendars

A sweet tradition, is a candy advent calendar! This is a great option if you don’t want to deal with a bunch of little toys. With five kids in my house, that would be 120 tiny toys! Much easier to let everyone count down with their favorite candies, instead!

Put fun surprises in each day!

Fill Your Own Advent Calendar

If you’d rather plan some activities and make memories each day, there is an advent calendar for you! Blank advent calendars are a great option! You can put recipes, coloring pages, and more inside each! A new memory each day, as Christmas approaches.

Not everyone has the time to make a DIY advent calendar, and that’s ok! Some are blank, and can be painted. Others are decorated already and need only be filled with ideas to make memories. We even have a list of advent activities, ready for you!

Wooden Advent Calendar with Santa Decoration

Very cute, and likely to fit in with almost any decor! This is great if you change things up every few years, like me.

Refillable Advent Drawers

Simple and full of joy! I love the typography on this one.

This one makes me think of my favorite Christmas Pajamas! It doesn’t have any days numbered, though.

Santa’s Sleigh Unfinished Advent Calendar

This would be so much fun to paint red, with my kids! We could paint the numbers onto the drawers in white or gold!

Burlap Hanging Advent Countdown

This one would look super cute with some twinkling lights along the string!

Christmas Tree Calendar with Drawers

I’m a sucker for anything tree shaped, this time of year, so this one was strongly considered!

Snowman with Tree Advent Calendar

This is the one I ended up buying! It is just so cute! Inside each drawer will be a small piece of paper with an activity for us to do, or recipe to make, as a family!

Countdown to Christmas

If the extent of your holiday tradition is counting down to Christmas, that’s ok! All that matters is that it is special to you, and your family. Here are some Christmas Countdowns that you can use to make the noting of each passing day a little more special!
