You know how the lead up to Christmas is always better than the actual day itself? I attribute 90 per cent of that to the fact that each day up until Christmas Eve, we get to unbox a little present from our advent calendar. Whether you’ve got a beauty, spicy or food advent calendar, waking up each morning to a new treat sets the tone for a great day ahead.
While we love a classic Cadbury advent calendar, we know that not everyone is chocolate’s number one fan. I may not agree with your awful taste buds, and I am judging you slightly, but I’m not one to leave you out of all the fun. There’s a bunch of non-chocolate food advent calendars circulating that are just as tasty for you fussy folk out there.
If you’re itching to get into the Christmas spirit, here are seven food advent calendars that are scrumdiddilyumptious.
