The magic of waiting. Why are Advent calendars so popular in Canada?
Let's talk about one of the top Christmas traditions of recent years.
As December approaches, Canadian store shelves are filled with one of the main attributes of Christmas in recent years — Advent calendars.
These are special calendars designed to count down the days until Christmas. They consist of a certain number of boxes or bags with presents inside. Usually, the calendar starts on December 1 and ends on December 24, but there can be different variations, such as 31 days, from the beginning of December until New Year's Eve, or 7 days, a week before Christmas.
Each day of the month, a person opens the calendar and gets one surprise.
Why are Advent calendars so popular?
Advent calendars have quickly won the hearts of people all over the world because it is a nice gift that creates a magical atmosphere of waiting for the holiday. In many countries unpacking Advent calendars has become a real Christmas tradition. You can buy such a calendar both for yourself and as a gift.
What types of Advent calendars are there?
Calendars can be with a wide variety of content, for different budgets and for completely different recipients.
For example, calendars with cosmetics, children's toys, sweets, jewelry, tea, and coffee are popular. There are also more unusual variants: with minerals, wine, or even treats for animals. You can also buy an empty Advent calendar to put gifts there yourself.
When to buy an Advent calendar?
It is best to buy a calendar in advance, even before the beginning of December. This way you will have the opportunity to choose the most suitable one from a variety of options. Some calendars are produced in limited quantities, and the most popular variants sell out quickly.
If starting unpacking on December 1 is not a must for you, there's no need to rush. However, the closer you get to Christmas, the more limited the assortment may be.
If you haven't chosen an Advent calendar for yourself or your loved ones yet, Black Friday is the perfect day to buy one. As a rule, the cost of such calendars is already lower than the cost of things they contain, and Black Friday will allow you to get a nice discount.
