One of my favorite parts about decorating for the holidays is bringing out our advent calendar. I look forward to the excitement on the kids’ faces each morning, and I love that it helps them to visually count down to their favorite holiday. Plus, I don’t have to answer the “how many days until Christmas?” question nearly as much!
We know you love counting down too, which is why we’ve put together the ultimate list of advent calendars! From Barbies to Star Wars…we’re got something your kids are sure to love! Of course, my favorite way to count down to Christmas with my children is through devotionals and scripture (have you read about the 25 Days of Christ Kit?”)…but candy and and toys add a little excitement too, right?
1. Star Wars R2-D2 Advent Calendar. For the true Star Wars fans out there…you can even personalize this with your last name!
2. Disney Tsum Tsum Advent Calendar. I’m not kidding when I say my kids would lose their minds over this! They LOVE Tsum Tsums, so opening up doors to a new figure or accessory each day would make them so happy!
