With all net proceeds going to Redwings Horse Sanctuary and international charity, Brooke, this Advent calendar is the perfect way to please your pony while supporting both charity’s work to helping horses and donkeys in need. Because, really, Advent isn’t about getting more/bigger/better. Whether Christmas, for you, is a religious celebration or about spending time with your family – maybe a bit of both – Advent is the countdown not the main event… Kind of like the bongs on New Year’s Eve. So, while an Advent calendar does make a wonderful pre-Christmas gift, it needn’t be an extravagant one. Not a Guardians fan? Your teen might like this cute festive Harry Potter LEGO calendar, or how about Star Wars LEGO? And you know what? Ask any child and they’ll tell you – the joy of the Advent calendar isn’t so much about what’s inside, as that what’s inside is unknown! So, why not get your Christmas gift shopping off to a sweet start, with a Swizzels Christmas Advent Calendar? In 2007, the biggest Advent calendar ever made was created in London’s St. Pancras train station. It measured 232 feet and 11 inches tall, and 75 feet and 5 inches wide. At the time it was described as an ‘advert’ calendar to celebrate the station’s relaunch.

We were given this advent calendar by Lakeland Limited more than 12 years ago. We passed it along to a friend of the family and it’s still brought out every year in their house, and looks good as new. This handmade Christmas movie themed advent calendar is lots of fun for teens who love Christmas movies. And who doesn’t? I love advent calendars that can be used year after year and I think teens can be quite sentimental about bringing out childhood favourites each year. If you thought last year's launches were good, just wait 'til you see what's in store for 2022. We can't wait to get our hands on this suitably festive miniature mince pie selection, or this adorable pastel-hued chocolate calendar. Not so keen on the sweet stuff? Fear not, for we've included a delicious array of cheese-filled advent calendars (yep, you read that right), as well as one dedicated to luxurious spice mixes – a must-have for keen cooks looking to jazz up their weekly recipe rotation.
The first ever printed advent calendar is thought to have been created at some point between 1902–1908. It’s not always easy to find something that’s different but aesthetic but also cool for teenagers. But I think this advent calendar hits the mark. Advent originated as a time of fasting. Rather like Lent and Eastertide, in the 5th century CE monks began fasting thrice weekly in November to prepare for Christmas and Epiphany… It makes you wonder where the chocolate tradition came from!
Sock Advent Calendar, £19.99
It's November, which means we're well and truly in Christmas mode. The best bit? We've got an excuse to buy the foodie advent calendars we've been eyeing up for weeks. Like lots of teenage girls, my daughter loves scented candles! She usually has several on the go in her bedroom, with another set of candles for the bathroom. So I love the idea of this Yankee Candle advent calendars for teenage girls. Today, there has been a significant sea change. Advent calendars are no longer simply a way to countdown to Christmas. They are often the first gift of the season. But just because advent calendars can cost the earth, containing toys, gin (for the adults, obviously!), or even jewellery – it doesn’t mean that they have to.
To conserve paper, the production of Advent calendars ceased during World War II. They have become increasingly popular ever since. Millie has also reviewed countless restaurants and written travel features for British GQ, The Telegraph and the Independent, and has interviewed a number of leading chefs, including Jamie Oliver, Heston Blumenthal and Raymond Blanc. In Scandinavia there is also a tradition of having a calendar in the form of a radio show or TV show, with a new surprise revealed every day. This is an absolute whopper of an advent calendar, with 24 full size spice blends (plus recommended recipes) to bring inspo to your kitchen. We had a sneak peak at what's behind the final door and, it's safe to say, we'll be sprinkling it on our breakfast throughout the festive season and beyond. Some Advent calendars have 31 doors, taking you up to New Year’s Eve… But maybe don’t tell your kids that, otherwise you could have a long Google search ahead!
Mindfulness Advent Calendar, £6.95
This Advent calendar has figures, horses, animals and accessories behind every door. It has 125 pieces in total, which is plenty for a fun play scene. Another with two Herb Stix behind this door, this calendar has a fun design that is perfect for pony-mad kids. With less than 100 days until Christmas, it’s time to get your hands on one of the best Advent calendars for horses before they’re sold out. Everyone loves the Christmas countdown and what better way to do this than treating your steed to one of the best Advent calendars for horses and treating yourself to a horsey advent calendar for humans. (And if you’ve got a dog, you’ll be pleased to know we’ve also selected the best Advent calendars for dogs, too!) Another beautiful calendar from Rituals, this Christmas Tree design is gorgeous and the advent calendar is a really indulgent treat for teens. It comes pre-wrapped in a luxurious blue box, complete with a ribbon, making it an ideal gift. Inside you can expect 24 little Rituals products, including gel-to-foam shower foam, body cream, and hand lotion.
At 18, my daughter is too old for those advent calendars, but still too young for the thousands of gin/wine/beer themed advents. But that doesn’t mean I don’t want to help her celebrate the countdown to Christmas with her own advent calendar! So what are the best advent calendars for teens in 2023?Sally is a business journalist, copywriter and consultant. She's also a very happy Mum to Flea, the world's coolest 16 year old. This advent calendar has 24 items which I approve of – because so many advent calendars for teens only have 12 doors. Inside this Nivea advent calendar, teens will find body lotion, serum and shea butter, a range of lip balms, along with micellar water, cleansing wipes and a host of accessories. There is also an Nivea advent calendar for the teen boys in your family. My daughter is obsessed with stationery so what could be better than a stationery-themed Harry Potter advent calendar for teenage boys or girls? If you have teens who are religious or just love the idea of the nativity, this advent calendar is a great choice. It won’t generate lots of waste and it’s made of wood, so pretty eco-friendly.
