Why we LOVE this product!
Most candy advent calendars are just candy. This one adds a booklet about where each treat comes from and how people there celebrate, so the daily door turns into a short look at another country. Families who use it often open it together and rate the candies as they go, which makes it a nice daily ritual for the month.
At $34.99 for 24 days and 96 candies, it's priced in line with other specialty advent calendars, and the flag-ornament doors make the geography part obvious even for younger kids.
Two things to weigh: it's all candy, so it's a treat rather than a learning kit, and it isn't suitable for anyone with severe food allergies. For curious families, it's an easy way to bring a bit of the world into December.
