Advent calendars are a popular holiday tradition, often used to count down the days leading up to Christmas, from December 1 to December 24. They originated in Germany in the 19th century, when Protestant families marked each day of Advent with a candle or religious symbol.
Today, Advent calendars have evolved and come in many forms. Traditionally, each day involves opening a small window or box containing a surprise, such as chocolate, a toy, or even beauty products. They add a touch of magic to everyday life and help build excitement in the run-up to Christmas. It's a fun way to mark the passing of time and enjoy the festive spirit.
