Advent Calendars

November 9, 2022

The nights are getting darker, Father Christmas is dusting off his boots, and there’s a distant sound of twinkling bells. The countdown to the festive season is just around the corner.

The PLAYin CHOC elves are getting into the yuletide spirit, and are busy putting together our most exciting, sparkling advent calendars yet.

This year, our multi-award-winning designs have a brand-new look, with clever, no-peek windows. They’re available in 24- or 12-window formats, and behind each door you’ll find a creamy, dreamy chocolate, fact card and Christmas-themed puzzle toy.

Your favourite collectable toy characters are ready and waiting to help the countdown to the big day. Will you find a reindeer, snowman, Christmas tree, gingerbread man, or even Father Christmas himself?

And, as ever, our ethical calendars bring joy to the world too. Not only are the thoughtfully designed advents plastic-free, 100% recyclable and zero waste, but the chocolate contains a third less sugar than most leading chocolate brands, is vegan, free-from the top 14 allergens, natural and organic.

Our multi-award-winning advent calendars make a great gift, or a wintry treat for your family, and are available online or in a stockist near you now.

Let’s make this Christmas sustainable, ethical and joyous!
