WHAT IS AN ADVENT CALENDAR?
The traditional Advent Calendar is printed on cardboard, with little paper windows – one for each day of Advent – which open to reveal further Christmas scenes, so you can count the days to Christmas. Our digital Advent Calendar app is much more exciting, of course, because the main scene and the daily surprises all come alive with music and animation!
Strictly, Advent starts on the fourth Sunday before Christmas and ends on Christmas Eve, but most modern Advent Calendars – ours included – start the Christmas countdown on 1st December. We also depart from tradition by including Christmas Day itself and allowing you to interact with the Advent Calendar prior to the start of December!

### 5/5 — Santa drop game

*2025-02-17, version 1.2.1*

I so enjoy the adventure calendar every year. This year both my husband and I have throughly been enjoying the Santa Drop game. It’s addictive! Please thank whoever created it.

### 5/5 — So good!

*2024-12-02, version 1.2.0*

Loved playing this every day my granny supris ed us with this and memories

### 5/5 — Amazing! Thank you!

*2024-11-30*

These are beautiful, fun, and sweet. We still play some of the games from this one even though the new one has been released! The hours of entertainment for the price is shocking.

It was worth the price for the music and art alone!

I read a few other reviews and the negative comments are completely unhinged. It’s tragic that people can be negative about frivolous Christmas fun.

### 5/5 — Your Advent Calendars are fun all year long

*2024-08-06*

I'm 'one of those' who keeps enjoying all your Advent Calendars throughout the year... I have purchased 5 so far. I just tried the Glogg recipe for mulled wine and it was amazing! The 2023 Edwardian Calendar was especially wonderful in that my 'sitting room' had every possible game, puzzle, and fun thing to do all crammed into one space. I can hardly wait for this year's calendar! 📆 🤩

### 5/5 — È bellissimo

*2024-04-01*

È fantastico lo voglio usare anche l’anno prossimo

### 4/5 — 2023 Advent Calendar was a delight (eventually)

*2024-01-19*

The 2023 advent calendar ended up being a delight (loved that all the original games were included along with many new ones!). Unfortunately the ‘slow reveal’ technique used this year made the outdoor scenes feel two dimensional and uninviting for the first half of the month. The house windows were all dark and there was no cute village to stroll through and re-decorate. The sitting room held all the action, and each day a new gift provided more fun and games. By the end it was a blast, but it was a shame to have to wait half the season to really enjoy the beauty of the outdoor scenes.

### 5/5 — Wonderful Interactive Calendar

*2024-01-18, version 1.1.3*

Really enjoyed this imaginative and creative calendar with so many enjoyable games built into it. Artistically it’s a triumph.

### 3/5 — Disappointment vs other years

*2024-01-06*

I have looked forward to this advent calendar for the past 5 years.  Honestly, there were many key components I missed this year—the snowman, outside tree lights and other features (store displays, light poles) that changed when you touched them and the interactive nature of the scene in general.  I loved the year we found the gnomes, and then they turned up on the game room bookshelf and sing Merry Christmas on the 25th. Perhaps if the animals we find each day had culminated in an outside parade?? Fingers crossed for next year?!?

### 1/5 — Subpar compared to previous years

*2024-01-04, version 1.1.3*

This years felt like an old recycled version from 10 years ago.  Been a happy customer for many years - not sure why they downgraded the interactions so much.

### 1/5 — So disappointed

*2024-01-02, version 1.1.3*

I’ve had a Jacquie Lawson Advent calendar since 2013; it has one of my favorite Christmas traditions but not this year. This year’s calendar has no interactive community so is very boring and the videos were substandard. The one video that promised a festive holiday ball only showed generic figures entering the house — no actual ball! Next year I will preview the calendar before purchasing it.
