Advent calendars have always been a tradition in my family. Starting in my own childhood, we always had an advent calendar to count down the days until Christmas. These days, our Elf on the Shelf (Kringle) brings the kids a new advent calendar upon his arrival the Saturday after Thanksgiving. It’s a fun tradition and the kids love it. Each year Kringle is on the look out for the Best Kids Advent Calendars.

There are so many great Christmas advent calendars available, I decided to break it down into categories to share the best kids advent calendars. This is a massive list, so I am certain you can find a Christmas advent calendar for all of the kids on your list – boys and girls.
Since some advent calendars are sure to sell out, I recommend picking up your favorite as soon as you can.

I squealed with delight upon discovering the Little People advent calendar. Sure, she will be 10 months when the advent calendar starts, but we can’t leave the baby out of the fun. Thanks to hand-me-downs from her big sisters, she already loves Little People, so it is perfect. The reusable trees are also cute because they would be a great tradition to start.

Best Advent Calendars for Kids
There are so many great choices of advent calendars for kids. In fact, I can’t decide which ones my daughters would most enjoy this year. They had Tsum Tsums advent calendar last year, and Star Wars Legos advent the year before — both were great. Personally, I love the Cabbage Patch advent calendar (child of the ’80s!), but my girls don’t share my great love for Cabbage Patch dolls.

It was harder to find older advent calendars for boys, although I think the Lego advent calendars (especially Star Wars) would be good for older boys and girls. But for another idea, I included some DIY advent calendars so you can fill them with your own treats.
