The Best Advent Calendar Guide

With less than a month to go until 1st December. Which is where the official countdown to Christmas starts. I am sharing The Best Advent Calendar Guide – 2025 For The Whole Family. Which has some lovely advent calendar ideas for the whole family.

Orchard Toys

This is the perfect countdown to Christmas. This activity book from Orchard Toys is full of fun activities every single day. There are 25 fun festive activities, stickers and a pull out advent scene. Plus the all important letter to Santa

Pointer

It is not just the small kids or the big kids that love a countdown to Christmas. Our fur babies also like to be in with all the fun. Pointer have a great advent calendar, filled with crunchy carob and cheese flavoured bones, this Countdown Calendar is the perfect way to include your dog in the festive excitement.  

Vista Print

You have seen me share Vista Print advent calendars previously. This year instead of the budgies (we now have 9). I have chosen pictures of my daughter with her Dad.

Creating your own personalised advent calendar is so easy.

• Choose your chocolate type
• Choose the size and format – Landscape or Portrait
• Then choose your design where you can add your pictures and wording
• The rest is done for you

Cadburys

Cadburys have the amazing Biscoff and Dairy Milk advent calendar. These are two of my favourite things Cadburys milk chocolate and Biscoff biscuit combined together. To give you a treat everyday o the run up to Christmas.

Behind each of the 24 festive doors lies a little moment of indulgence, ready to make your countdown sweeter. Inside, you will discover 12 classic chunks of Cadbury Dairy Milk silky smooth chocolate, and 12 irresistible bites filled with crunchy Lotus Biscoff pieces and silky smooth Biscoff spread. Each window brings you closer to Christmas – and a whole lot more deliciousness.

This is an advent calendar with a difference. This season Advance Nutrition Program have designed a healthy advent calendar, featuring 28 pods of beauty.

It is a great advent calendar and this one helps us look great

I love advent calendars, but they are getting so expensive in the last few years. I should probably buy some from sales at the end of Dec and save them for next year!

That is as good idea as some would keep for the following year

Nila loves the orchard toy ones and has it almost every year , also can’t beat a choccie advent can you

I love the Orchard Toy one as it gives them something to do each day, but also can not go wrong with a choccie one

Thanks for the helpful guide there are so many advents these days it’s so hard to choose thankfully your guide is an enormous help.

I am glad I have helped you choose an advent calendar for your countdown to Christmas

Love the sound of the Biscoff one. Definitely something I would treat myself to.

Cadburys and Biscoff together is a winning combination

There are some good ideas for advent calendars

I love that there are so many different kinds now

I have always loved chocolate advent calendars ever since a child

My kids always loved their chocolate advent calendars and usually had them before breakfast

I love advent calendars! This year we went with a Pokemon Card one for our middle, a gym one for our eldest (I had no idea they even made these!) and our youngest went with a Squishmallow one. IT’s so neat seeing more options.

I had no idea you could get a gym advent calendar either, the squishmallow one my grandkids would love. I do love that there is such a variety these days

Such a fun idea to reign in the holidays. I love how you included something for every family member. Definitely checking out the Cadbury Egg.

The biscoff one is going to be my chocolate treat this year

Great round up! We have had the orchard toy one a few times and they are a great one to do after school with the little ones

I love the orchard toys one as it does keep them a bit more focused and lots of fun

The vista print personalised calendar is such a great idea! Thank you for sharing. X

I do love the personalisation of the vista print advent calendar plus you can choose which chocolates you have

These are all awesome advent calendars and a great way to count down to Christmas. I might have to get the Pointer one…..as my dog would love that so much!

I hope I have given you some inspiration

The biscoff one is definitely the one I’d pick. But the orchard toys one looks like one my little one would love in a few years time x

I am looking forward to the biscoff one, the Orchard Toys one is such a great idea as it gives them something to do each day

Love this guide. I would love a Cadbury’s Biscoff calendar and the House of Glory Advent Calendar

Both of those are my advent calendars for this year I love Cadburys and love Soap and Glory

Omg! I like all of these, and my sisters love Advent calendars so much. Sharing this with her.

It is officially Christmas when the advent calendars come out

Some great ideas for all ages. I love the look of the Dairy Milk Biscof one!

It is a great calendar and one to help you look your best

spoilt for choice – something for everyone regardless of age

There are so many to choose from and love that my dog gets his own as well

I mean… I see Cadbury and I’m immediately sold. That is the Advent calendar for me! I love all of them!

I am totally with you on that who does not like Cadburys

Thanks for this great guide i love the Vista Print one

I do love the Vista Print selection, as you can choose the size and also what chocolates you get inside. This year instead of the budgies I added pics of C and her dad which she loved

I love how many choices there are when it comes to advent calendars. I was literally looking at some yesterday – I think I best get my skates on and buy some!
