That's right, advent calendar season starts now.

We tested over 30 Christmas countdowns to find the absolute best Advent calendars. Discover our top picks for coffee, chocolate, crafts and a little bit of everything. The post The Best Advent Calendars in 2024 [Tested and Reviewed] appeared first on Taste of Home. We’re counting down the days until holiday decorating, Christmas gift shopping and, of course, Advent calendar season. This practice dates back to the mid-19th century when German Protestants put chalk marks on their doors to count down the days leading up to Christmas. Today, these beloved countdowns have a little bit more spirit. The choices are endless, from chocolates and coffee to boozy beverages (and everything in between). “I love the wide variety of Advent calendars you can find today,” says Senior Shopping Editor and holiday gifting expert Katie Bandurski. “Growing up, I only remember puny, chalky chocolate countdowns. Today, there is truly something for every interest, and the products are much more engaging. From tiny jam jars to whiskey shooters, December has never been so fun!” Because we take Advent calendars very seriously, we tested over 30 countdowns so far in 2024 to recommend the absolute best ones. We’ll update this piece throughout the holiday season as more countdowns become available. Find our favorite editor-tested picks below. Ready, set? Let the Christmas countdown begin!
