Written by the company
The Advent Calendar Shop was created from a lifelong love of Christmas and everything that makes the festive season special. For us, the magic has always been in the build-up - the excitement of counting down the days and enjoying those small moments of joy along the way. Our story began with Carousel, a family-run retail business founded in 1998 by David and Clare Turvey. Over the years, Advent calendars became one of our most popular products, loved by customers of all ages. This growing enthusiasm inspired us to create The Advent Calendar Shop as a dedicated online space focused entirely on the Christmas countdown. Today, we offer one of the widest selections of Advent calendars in the UK. Our carefully chosen range includes traditional paper Advent calendars, chocolate and sweet calendars, toy and novelty designs, beauty calendars, fill-your-own options and Advent candles, with something to suit everyone. We focus on offering quality products, friendly service and a smooth online shopping experience. Open all year round, we’re here whenever you’re ready to start the countdown - because it’s never too early for Christmas.

A great choice of lovely calendars
The two advent calendars I bought for my grandchildren were lovely. I have bought calendars before from this retailer and always found that the huge choice they provide makes my online shopping experience really easy! I would certainly recommend The Advent Calendar Shop.

Lovely traditional Advent Calendar. Good value too.
Lovely, traditional Advent Calendar. Good value too. I bought this one because I have 3 dogs and loved the scene depicted. All the doors are a lovely surprise when you open them, although I am not sure the penguin and the igloo being in the same picture is quite right! Still a lovely Advent Calendar though.

Thank you for your lovely review! We’re delighted you enjoyed the design and the surprises behind each door. This is one of our favourite designs too, although I didn't know about the penguin and the igloo as have never opened it! I might have to get this one myself next year, just to see! Wishing you a very Happy Christmas! 🎄✨
The calendar
The calendar, arrived in plenty of time and really good condition. The fact that what's behind each door just adds to the overall picture, is what we love to see. Will absolutely be using the Advent calendar shop again in 2026. Thank you.

Good selection of traditional advent calendars
Great selection especially if you want a picture advent.
I went for one that has pictures that still fits in with the background once opened which is lovely.

Christmas Tradition
Last year I bought an advent card for a boy we sponsor in Equador and another for my wife. Both received and enjoyed. Again this year the Robins on the pillar box prompted anothe purchase. 'She' was delighted. I can see this becoming a Chritmas tradition.
