Top Non Candy Advent Calendars

Is it safe to start counting down for Christmas yet? Thanksgiving is officially over and we are sharing our top favorite non candy advent calendars!

Why is there always such a debate on when to start getting ready for Christmas? Some people are in Christmas mode as soon as Halloween is over and then others are mad at everyone celebrating early…

I just don’t get it. I don’t care if you only celebrate on the 25th of December and I don’t care if you start in July. Who cares? Well apparently a lot of people do…

Anyway, we’re ready & if you’re reading this post, you probably are too!

I’m sure you’ve seen those classic chocolate advent calendars they sell in most grocery stores, right?

I remember being so excited for those when I was younger. Now, as an adult with a more “sophisticated” palate, I’ve come to realize that the chocolate in those is really just awful. It’s definitely not something I look forward too.

While my kids still enjoy those chocolates, I’ve decided I wanted to branch out and experiment with some non candy advent calendars instead (at least until See’s Candy comes out with one 😉)

Have any favorite non candy advent calendars?

We are going to share the non candy advent calendars that stood out to us. Some are geared more toward children (since we have two) and the others are more “adult.” If you’re a little more crafty, we also have links to DIY calendars at the bottom of the page. Don’t forget to check out our non candy stocking stuffers too!
