If your house is anything like mine, the excitement for Christmas starts long before the tree goes up. And one of my favorite ways to kick off the holiday season with my kids is with advent calendars.
There’s something magical about counting down the days to Christmas, and having a little surprise each day just adds to the fun. Plus, it’s a great way to keep them from constantly asking, “How many more days until Christmas?” every five minutes!
Whether it’s candy, toys, or something totally unique, advent calendars always bring a little extra joy to the holiday season—and honestly, it’s a little thrill for us parents too. I mean, it’s hard not to get excited when your kids are having fun, right?
Here are a few kid-focused advent calendars I’ve selected that’ll add some joy to the holiday season…
Jewelry Advent Calendar (My Pick)
My younger tween daughter had this one last year and could barely wait to open up each new day. It comes with 24 different fun jewelry pieces like bracelets, necklaces, earrings, and rings. Every piece is made with sparkling rhinestones and is lead- and nickel-free. She absolutely loved it and I really enjoyed seeing her face light up each day.
Jigsaw Puzzle Advent Calendar
This one is so unique! It’s a 1008-piece puzzle broken up into 24 small boxes, with 42 pieces in each. You get to complete part of the puzzle every day until Christmas, and by the end, you have a full holiday scene. I can already picture us scrambling on Christmas Eve to fit the last pieces together. Perfect for puzzle lovers!
Advent Calendar – Crystal Gemstones & Minerals
If you need an option for the kid who’s into rocks, crystals, or geology, this might be the one. Each day, they get to open a new date with a different piece. Some of the items included are Strawberry Quartz, Tiger’s Eye, Rose Quartz, and Citrine—24 surprises in total. It’s like a mini treasure hunt for the rock-obsessed kiddo.
Advent Calendar – Fluffy Slime Kit
For the slime-obsessed kid (you know, the one always asking to make slime in your kitchen), this kit is filled with 9 scented fluffy slimes and 15 accessories like toy molds and fruit slices. It even comes with a little bee charm and a honey dipper for the “honey slime.” Honestly, it sounds weirdly satisfying.
Advent Calendar – Christmas Building Set with Light
This one’s like stepping into a little holiday village. It comes with three buildings—a bakery, a toy shop, and a clock tower—along with a festive train and Christmas tree. Each building has such realistic details that it’s basically a miniature Christmas town for your home.
Advent Calendar 24 Rubber Ducks
If you’ve got a little duck collector on your hands—or know someone who just loves these popular collectables—this calendar adds a touch of holiday cheer to the trend! Featuring 24 different rubber ducks, including 18 festive Christmas-themed ducks and 6 novelty designs, this set makes every day of December a fun unboxing event.
Toy Car and Vehicle Advent Calendar
Vroom vroom! For car enthusiasts, this advent calendar is packed with 24 die-cast vehicles to unwrap each day. From sports cars to work vehicles, every morning brings a new set of wheels to play with. It’s like building their own little car collection in the days leading up to Christmas. Perfect for keeping kids entertained and excited for the holiday, these mini cars are great for racing around the house, adding to their existing toy sets, or even just lining up on display.
Christmas advent calendars are such a fun way to make the holiday season even more exciting. It’s not just about the treasures—it’s the daily anticipation, the little moments of joy, and the time spent together that make it special. Get ready to create some holiday fun—one day at a time. Let the countdown begin!
