There’s no better way to start the countdown to Christmas than with an Advent calendar. We show you some of the most interesting ones..
Christmas this year is not like any other, restrictions force us to dispense with many traditions. One that remains, fortunately, is the Advent calendar. Its origin traces back to 19th century Germany. German Protestants marked the days, from the first Sunday of Advent to Christmas Eve, by lighting candles or painting the walls and doors of their homes with chalk.
This practice evolved until the creation of the first Advent calendar in 1851. Today, it has become a global phenomenon that brands have been able to capitalize on.
