Advent Calendars - what's your favourite?
There's a crispy chill in the air and the leaves are starting to brown, nights are darker and days are cooler, the summer dresses are back in the wardrobe and sweaters are making their return. It can only mean one thing ... Christmas is on the way!
(Sorry, not sorry)
One of my favourite festive traditions definitely has to be the advent calendar. I'm not sure about you but I find so much of the magic is in the lead up to the big day and opening my calendar every day adds to that excitement. I've had just about every variation of them over the years.
What's your favourite?
I'm not sure there will ever be any quite like the ones we used to get when we were children - the traditional Santa pictures printed on the front, and that cheap crumbly chocolate hiding behind the foil in different shapes... you'd get trees, presents, Santas, and of course a bigger variation of the same for Christmas Eve! No frills or fancies.
To now, as an adult, experiencing all there is to offer. I've had the wax melts, make up, the wines and, last year, fit for my journey of sobriety, Michael bought me a non-alcoholic drinks calendar. The wax melts one was lovely, with a different festive scent each day flowing through the house getting us in the mood.
My favourite though, by a long way, definitely has to be the cheese advent calendar I had a couple of years ago. Yummy! It came with the odds and sods you need to partner with the cheese - some chutneys etc - and it hit the spot so nicely in an evening. Michael and I would sit down together and enjoy the day's treat together, it was too much for just one of me.
Our Advent Calendars
Christmas is definitely our favourite time of year at the factory when it comes to making your goodies. We sell a huge range of festive chocolate from stuffed bars, Christmas trees (ooh they are thiccccc) and truffles, to our best-selling advent calendars. This year we have 5 variations. Four of these are individually packaged discs. We have:
- Dairy free
- White chocolate
- Milk chocolate
- Mixed chocolate
The mixed chocolate doesn't stop at your usual milk, white and dark, this one is super special incorporating all of our fantastic festive flavours with the addition of strawberry, orange, mint, lemon, banana and caramel.
And one advent calendar is made up of squares not individually packaged but already inside a decorated holder in mixed chocolate bases.
