Advent calendars have quite a history, having long been used in the Christian tradition to count down the days until Christmas. But in recent years, Advent calendars have gone mainstream as parents discover how much fun children have with them. Although they still have religious significance, some families simply enjoy the excitement that comes from counting down the days until Dec. 25.

The growing popularity of Advent calendars has led to plenty of options. You can buy an advent calendar with candy or a small gift like a toy in each window. There are also themed Advent calendars, depicting everything from nativity scenes to movie characters.

But choosing the best Advent calendar isn’t just about finding one with the right design. You’ll also want to check out the products you get with your calendar. Adults might prefer one with chocolate or hot sauce, while families may prefer a calendar that comes with toys.
