Review
“A front-cover advent calendar with die-cut flaps cues 24 seasonal activities for the run-up to Christmas… The illustrations, as cozy as the contents, offer festoons of evergreens and ornaments and depictions of tidy homes and small businesses nestled closely together in snowy landscapes; yummy treats; and wrapped gifts.” — Kirkus Reviews

- Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2022This is such a fabulous advent experience and it makes a great gift for families that really don’t need more toys, like ours! I’ve enjoyed the activities as much as the kids, and it’s created so many more memories and pockets of real quality time during the season. We’ve had every kind of advent calendar imaginable and this one is easily in the top 3, and entirely unique. The illustrations are gorgeous too. I would give it more than 5 stars if I could.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2025I used this book with my children and they loved it every year. Now, I've given it to friends to start the tradition with their children. This is full of ***not overwhelming***, fun ways to welcome the Christmas season. One thing a day, friend. Just one. If you turn into a sad slug for the holidays (like I do), this book is an immense help.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2020Really lovely and charming book! Illustrations are wonderful and whimsical and it's been fun to read it every morning and do the activity on the spot, or plan for a fun adventure later! We'll be enjoying this book for years to come and it would make a wonderful gift as well! My little boy is 4 and especially enjoyed the search and find page, was so much fun!
- Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2019This is the most precious book! The illustrations are gorgeous and the activities help build the anticipation for Christmas. I’ve enjoyed doing each of the activities with my kids this season. After we completed that night’s activity they loved to peek on the front cover in the little “door” at the clue for what the next day’s activity would be. I want to buy several more as gifts.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2025Love this DARLING advent activity book. My kids are now teens and they really enjoyed doing every activity because they are relevant, fun, usually quick, and focus on connection. The recipes are delicious as well!! I am excited to do these activities again next year!
- Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2022This book looks super cute and has lot of fun activities to do throughout the month of December. Saw it advertised at Anthropologie (was cheaper on Amazon) and we wanted something that has traditional activities but isn’t all junky toys or chocolate. This books has songs, stories, activities, recipes, etc. I wish it had an ingredients list to buy ahead of time (so be prepared for then that day arrives and plan ahead) but should be fun to do something different each day. The real beauty of this book is that every activity involves quality time with your family member- love that aspect.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2024Good quality, fun activities, I can't wait to do it with my kids !
- Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2022The book is beautiful! The kids and I really enjoyed going over each day. There were songs, stories, recipes, crafts. It will become a family tradition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Such a sweet holiday book!
I really enjoyed this book. It’s a beautiful illustrated holiday book. I didn’t realize the cover was an “open the flap” advent calendar that corresponds to pages inside the book. It’s a pure delight to read with kids. My 9 year old loves it as much as the 5 year old.
