Hey guys!! It's 24 + x days until Christmas and you know what that means. Time to open a little box and/or square and/or wrapper a day and find a little surprise inside!
Anyone get any cool or weird Advent Calendars? Want to share what you got with the class every day until Christmas?
A local ice cream lady has been making ice cream advent calendars the last few years, and I managed to get one of the pre-orders someone forgot to pay for. One single serving of ice cream a day, and she'll be posting on her Instagram what each flavour is to match. Very excited for this.

It’s a liquor store in Victoria with an online presence and they’ve been doing it (that I know about) for like six years, and they’re all one off/test beers by breweries around the country. It’s fun cause you know there are a bunch of people trying the same beer that day.
Satans..... hints.....
and also bought me one with little marzipans which he thought were assorted (which are not) but which i shall enjoy eating immensely anyway.
I also got a tea advent calendar, and also a jam advent calendar with 24 small pots of different jams. Gonna have a tiny fancy tea time every day
we're still using the little 1oz jars for various small things.
Ok this sounds awesome, just ordered one for myself.
We can be big dumb beer snobs together fuzzbutt.

Dunno where you'd even get something like that
But I barely celebrate Christmas
In the last 4 or 5 years or so there've been a lot of little trendy ones coming out
Inquisitor mentioned a sake one, I've seen makeup and perfume ones, local chocolate shops have made their own advent calendars with fancy truffles and such, lots of fun varieties!
It turns out having a little daily ritual where you get surprised with some small nice thing you like is fun

For our kiddo's first Christmas we got my mother a wooden advent calendar house that she could fill with whatever to do with her grandchild. Man, she liked the idea but could never be bothered to actually put in any effort, I always had to collect everything to put in it so they'd at least still have the shared holiday ritual.
Even that only lasted a few years, now I just get her one of the Lego calendars they can open together.
I feel like the only one that actually puts in any effort for Christmas in the family here. I most of the time have to get myself something and wrap it or I wouldn't get anything either. Maybe I should try and find one for myself this year.
I'd try that
Although this particular one is German, but there should be American, too, I guess
Some local distilleries might have 'em too, or at least just small sized liquor flavours
I know one of my favourites, a moonshine/gin/vodka/etc company, has a little 12 day one they're putting out

So that’s what I’ll be starting up in a few days.
Also in this photo is my elaborate setup to hide each can. I get the can out of the box without looking at it, put it behind me, place one stubby holder on it then place another on top so I can place it in the fridge for the next day.

My plan is if I miss any days, they get saved for the 25th.
I am pleased.
My previous advent calendars have all been chocolates that I inhale immediately after waking up, so it's kind of a nice change to have it be a nightcap I look forward to all day instead

So, chocolate for breakfast!
Oh... yay. Coconut nougat. (I do not like the texture of coconut.) ..Oh well! Day 3 awaits.
Today will apparently be vanilla chai! Option to include it in a cup of tea is suggested. (I will probably just inhale the ice cream, frankly.)

Hello! I enjoy coconut in chocolate, AMA
What if sometimes you feel like a nut?
I always feel like a nut
Check out my site, the Bismuth Heart | My Twitter
I have no pithy response, you are genuinely the first person I have known to like coconut in chocolate. Congratulations!
Mounds and Almond Joy are very popular candies, those are just chocolate and coconut
Honestly I just like coconut anything, give me all the coconut
I am also doing the Ikea advent calendar! I appreciate the good chocolate this has, even if like you coconut isn't my favorite.
Coconut is amazing. I love haystack cookies.
My wife is currently going through the star wars advent calendar. It is another solid one. Lots of great stuff.
