Having had our Christmas fayre at school yesterday, I have decided to face up to the fact that Christmas is really not that far away now. For me the 1st December marks the start of my own official countdown to Christmas, and is of course the start of advent.
This means that most children, and maybe even some lucky adults, will receive an advent calendar to countdown the sleeps until Christmas day. Although there are so many different styles of advent calendars nowadays, from book ones to Lego ones, from illustrations behind the doors to stickers, for the majority it is a chocolate advent calendar which is most well known and I would guess, the most used one each December.
Hotel Chocolat has a range of delicious advent calendars and they come in four variants – milk, dark and white chocolate with 24 hidden chocolates, and a truffle filled advent calendar designed for two people to share, so each door hides two decadent treats – yum!
I was sent a milk chocolate advent calendar and I cannot wait to try it because unlike the advent calendars I would have had as a child, the chocolate behind each numbered door are shaped as little Christmas sculptures and therefore much bigger pieces of scrummy chocolate!
While I try hard not to open my calendar before 1st December, I have some good news. I have one of these advent calendars to give away. All you need to do to enter is to fill in the form below, and you do not have long due to it being the 20th November ! Therefore, the closing date is midnight on Friday 27th November which is not long – so please get your skates on if you want to enter.
Good luck!
Thank you for this.
Well, even with a December birthday I’ve given up on being able to afford an advent calendar this year. BUT this just taught me how to find and paste my tweet URL. So that’s something!
what a cute advent calendar – we love hotel chocolat stuff. x
Thanks so much for the chance x
Spectacular! The Advent Calendar is so beautiful and detailed. I’ll definitely be up to date with this. Thanks so much!
