Everyone loves the surprise of pulling open an advent calendar's door to find out what chocolate or picture is waiting inside.
But this year, the tradition which is supposed to be an exciting way to countdown to Christmas Day has been causing controversy across the country.
First there was #BountyGate - an issue which divided the whole nation when people opened up their Celebrations advent calendars to discover Bounty chocolates two days in a row.
This was quickly followed by #CadburyGate, which saw kids being forced to tears when they didn't get any chocolate at all behind the doors of their calendars.
Now Hotel Chocolat is under fire, after shoppers spotted a big problem with some of its vegan advent calendars, reports Manchester Evening News.
Posting on Twitter, several people pointed out a rather big issue they'd been presented with when they came to open up day three of the calendar.
Comedian Justin Moorhouse wrote: "Ok. So this Advent Calendar from @hotelchocolat contains no dairy, nuts,gluten and wheat. And what ‘annoyingly’ else? It’s the 3rd today. If you need a clue."
The more eagle-eyed readers will have spotted there's no day 3 on the advent calendar. There is, however, two doors for December 7, so there's more fun to be had on Saturday.
People were quick to laugh about it, with one Twitter user writing: "It's three from everything it seems (hmm, that joke doesn't work typed down)."
"I’d take it back. Does this mean that you now need to open presents a day early?" questioned somebody else.
"I think its a clever joke. Free From! so theres no 3," said somebody else.
"Could be worse - I have a Celebrations advent calendar & the first 2 days were Bounty," wrote another Twitter user, clearly still feeling burnt by the whole #BountyGate ordeal.
Bethan Pickering also found day number three missing from her Free From Hotel Chocolat advent calendar.
She tweeted: "Erm @HotelChocolat where’s me number 3 hun?! And why are there two 7’s?! You had one job."
"Hey @HotelChocolat loving the advent calendar but where is door number 3. I want my chocolate!!!" exclaimed somebody else.
A spokesperson for Hotel Chocolat told Manchester Evening News: "As an ethical company, we’d never waste chocolate or packaging if we can help it. Ever! We noticed we’d made an error with our advent door numbering. So we reduced the price of the calendar and added a sticker on the outside, openly explaining our mistake."
