Advent is the time period leading up to Christmas when Christian’s celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. The word ‘Advent’ comes from the Latin adventus, which means “coming.” To keep track of the days until Christmas, most children (and adults) are gifted an Advent Calendar.

 

There are toy-themed options for youngsters, as well as must-have cosmetic products and premium ones that are often sold out really quickly. The Sandton Times has compiled a list of our top Christmas Advent Calendars to buy in 2022, whether you’re purchasing for a particular someone or are secretly craving one of these treasures for yourself.
