Hi, and welcome to Advent Wonderland.

This 2022 year we have in stock more advent calendars than ever before, from all over the world.

Let me share with you some of my favourites!

• Reindeer Slot-in Calendar by Flamingo Paperie in the UK:

Flamingo Paperie produce such wonderful quality calendars on thick card. My mum and dad brought back one from their UK travels for my daughter many years ago, and she loved it! Our particular favourite is the Reindeer calendar, with all of Santa’s reindeers making up the scene:

• Moonlight Silhouette Transparent Calendar by Coppenrath, Germany:

One of the biggest advent calendar publishing houses in Germany, Coppenrath has such a huge range of calendars. One of my favourites is their silhouette calendar, made with a transparent backing that means each window has an intricate scene in silhouette. Great for placing against a window!

• Christmas Kitchen, by Yellow Pages, Germany:

Eva Ludwig, the artist and creator of these gorgeous advent calendars, has come up with such a clever design, where each design has a theme. For example, in her Christmas Kitchen calendar, each window shows a different Christmas cooking tradition from around the world. On the back of each calendar is an envelope that contains the answers!

• 47 Door Advent Calendar by Uracchaus, Germany:

What a unique solution for children too young to know their numbers: in this calendar, by publishing house Urachhaus in Germany, children first open any star in the sky, which then contains a picture that is found in the lower half of the calendar, which is then the window to open for the day. This means there are 2 windows to open each day, with the 24^th day, Christmas Eve, having 1 large central window to open. A very unique calendar!

• Tear-Off Advent Calendar by Korsch, Germany:

There is something so charming about these tear-off calendars, containing a verse of a Christmas poem for each day leading up to December 25. With a hole for hanging and a stand for setting up, these calendars are still in print since they were first created in the 1950s.
