Disney Princess and Villians 12 Days of Socks Advent Calendar

It's been a challenging time in 2021 with lockdowns and border closures, so let's start planning for some joy and happiness in the lead up to Christmas by shopping for advent calendars. The countdown to Christmas is usually fun enough but when you add the excitement of an advent calendar to it, it's next level. Here at Newy with Kids, we love the tradition of advent calendars and have curated a list of our favourite 2021 advent calendars available in Australia.

There are heaps of advent calendars to choose from including beauty products, stationery, LEGO, toys, chocolate, food and tea calendars, religious calendars and alcohol advent calendars too. (This year, we have a category of alcohol advent calendars with mixed spirits, whisky, gin and wine advent calendars). The list covers all bases and price tags from budget to splurge! Talking about you Haighs Chocolates which is the most expensive advent calendar on our list this year. Or if you prefer, you can make your own personalised advent calendars.

Although the tradition of the advent calendar is of German origin which involves lighting candles, we much prefer the practice of opening up advent calendars for a treat each day. It makes for great family time discovering what the treat is each day. Pick the best advent calendar for you and your family or buy some as presents and enjoy counting down the days to Christmas.
