Advent calendars are synonymous with the festive season. They officially mark the start of December and begin the countdown to Christmas Day.

Usually containing delicious chocolate treats, the last few years have seen different types of advent calendars skyrocket in popularity, from beauty advent calendars to ones filled with wine, cheese and even socks.
