This is the first year that I am getting advent calendars for the kids so in my search and research for advent calendars, I just wanted to do a roundup of the best advent calendars for you! Personally, I love the ones that fit with my home decor like this cute wooden Countdown Advent Calendar. I love the idea of pockets or compartments for each day, the only issue is that they require some work in coming up with activities or candy to put inside.  So I’ve also included some of the best advent calendars that have chocolate or toys in them for those that don’t have as much time to do the activities with the kids, but still want the kids to look forward to something each day! Shown above is this Countdown Calendar

Best Advent Calendars – Countdown

1. Wooden Countdown To Christmas – This is one I have for my kids! You slide the little wreath as you count down the days. Goes well with our decor!

2. Wooden Countdown Magnetic Tree – This one is on sale and it is a bestseller! You take down the magnets, which are ornaments, as you countdown the days!
