The first clear references in the Western Church to Advent occur in the Gelasian Sacramentary, which provides Advent Collects, Epistles, and Gospels for the five Sundays preceding Christmas and for the corresponding Wednesdays and Fridays. People stay inside during the long, dark evenings making decorations for the Christmas tree and handmade gifts, baking Christmas cookies, and preparing other delicacies for the upcoming holidays. Johann Sebastian Bach composed several cantatas for Advent in Weimar, from Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland, BWV 61, to Herz und Mund und Tat und Leben, BWV 147a, but only one more in Leipzig where he worked for the longest time, because there Advent was a silent time which allowed cantata music only on the first of the four Sundays.

Some add a fifth candle (white), known as the Christ Candle, in the middle of the wreath, to be lit on Christmas Eve or Day.

This limited-edition calendar features penguins ice skating in a snow globe and putting presents under a Christmas tree. As celebrated by Christian churches in the Western tradition (as opposed to Eastern Orthodox churches, which keep a different calendar), the season of Advent begins on the fourth Sunday before Christmas and is celebrated on each successive Sunday leading up to Christmas. Or they symbolise the four stages of human history; creation, the Incarnation, the redemption of sins, and the Last Judgment. We loved that there are a whopping 24 flavours of tea within the calendar, so no repeats, with quirky flavours ranging from chocolate digestives to strawberry lemonade. Obviously the kids don’t know what six figures are in here – and half the fun is swapping their bits and bobs around to create new characters anyway.

We love the design that makes a colourful statement all December long, and enjoyed discovering each of the different-sized drawers. Advent in the United Kingdom: Choristers from the Salisbury Cathedral Choir decorate a Christmas tree ahead of their final practice. The ethical principles stack up quickly: Tony’s is committed to reducing slavery in chocolate production, the cocoa used is all Fairtrade, free from palm oil and has no plastic packaging.

From classic festive stilton and gruyère to unique British and European finds, make December the ultimate cheese discovery journey.

Celebrations Advent Calendar | Milk Chocolate

This coffee calendar has an unusual fold-out design that divided opinion – there are no doors to open, so no mystery.

In England, especially in the northern counties, there was a custom (now extinct) for poor women to carry around the "Advent images", two dolls dressed to represent Jesus and the Blessed Virgin Mary. Beginning on December 1, some German Lutherans made chalk marks on doors in anticipation of the entry of the Christ child, and other parents created homemade ways to count down involving snacks and Bible verses. There are classic flavours (such as caramel and double chocolate) and festive spins, including candy cane and buck's fizz. Advent calendars have a history dating back to the very first printed one in the early 1900s, but they didn’t always include sweet treats. Flavours include festive spins as well as classics, such as fizzy pudding, chai spice, a rich molasses and brown butter caramel.

This Advent calendar is also on the more affordable end, particularly considering the chocolates come from a reputable name brand. A full-size tin is hidden behind each door, including bolognese seasoning, pizza topping and banana bread seasoning, with a QR code on each door for recipe inspiration. Another popular activity is the "Hanging of the Greens," a service in which the sanctuary is decorated for Christmas.If you plan to share with the family, you may want to opt for a shareable model that has more than 24 pieces. Some cheery highlights include white chocolate praline hearts, milk chocolate caramels, mint medallions, and dark chocolate ganache. There are also plenty of plain gins from a variety of distilleries around the world, so there’s something for everyone.
