Featuring a fold-out, stand up crib scene and a rhyming Nativity story sheet, it tells the story of how – and why – Jesus came to be born in Bethlehem. The calendar forms part of the Church of England’s ‘Follow The Star’ campaign for 2023, which features a brand new Christmas Carol by composer Bob Chilcott to be sung by choirs across the country, with the invitation ‘Join the Song!’ Not all advent calendars have such dramatic cost-to-value ratios, but the basic principle is that you get more than you pay for. Here are the best we’ve found this year, with plenty of time to buy them before December 1. Unless they sell out! Years may have passed, but there's no shame in still loving that countdown to Christmas! Now you can even get a calendar that's specific to your favorite things, from boozy indulgences to beauty supplies. Children's advent calendars come in more traditional forms or in versions that appeal to every different age group, from storybooks for babies and toddlers to Legos and makeup for teens and preteens. Even Fido or your other furry friends can get in on the holiday fun. Splurge on a calendar that can be passed down for generations to come or keep it cheap—you can't go wrong! So, go ahead, start that countdown to Christmas! And the Follow The Star Advent Calendar goes beyond the conventional countdown, offering a creative and interactive experience focused on the Nativity. It is available online and in bookshops.

Ask a six year-old what the best advent calendar is and they’ll tell you it’s the one with the most chocolate. Right? Well, maybe in the 1970s. But in 2023 we have Lego advent calendars, Pokemon advent calendars and calendars filled with every kind of sweet and children’s toy you can think of. How can they possibly choose? The Church of England has released its first ever printed Advent Calendar, inviting people to put the birth of Jesus at the heart of their Christmas preparations.

They can also discover anew their place in the greatest story ever told, and how the earth-shattering arrival of God to earth in the birth of Jesus Christ is Good News for us, and for all the world.” No matter how old you are, everyone can recall the sheer joy of opening the door on their Christmas advent calendar every December morning. Watching the days creep every-so-slowly closer and closer to Christmas was as much fun as seeing what surprise lay behind the door.Like your tree decorations, holiday table, and seasonal mantel decor, your advent calendar should reflect your tastes and lifestyle. You can make an advent calendar out of upcycled and scavenged materials or simple items you can find at the craft store or online. Whether you choose to fill each day on the countdown calendar with Christmas sweets and treats, small toys, activity cards, or thoughtful notes is up to you. Let's be honest: half the fun of Christmas is the anticipation leading up to the big day, right? From all the festivities to watching the presents pile up to non-guiltily overindulging in all the holiday sweets, it's hard to beat the fun of those first 24 days of December. And absolutely nothing captures the magic of the Christmas Day anticipation like an advent calendar. While you might still think that advent calendars are just for kiddos getting a piece of chocolate every day, you couldn't be further from the truth.
