There are a surprising number of sock advent calendars available this year. My favorite is the Harry Potter collection, but you can also find Marvel, cats, Star Wars, and more. Most seem to be “12 Days of Socks” since 24 socks might be a bit excessive….

I just ordered that Haribo Advent Calendar. I always grew up with them, and love them, and I am the biggest fan of Haribo ever! Thanks so much for letting me know about this!
This makes me so happy! I had tons of fun looking up all the different types – I’m sure a few will end up in my house too : )
Have you heard of the Advent Book by Jack and Kathy Stockman? It’s an Advent calendar in book form; we’ve had it since my kids were toddlers (they are now 5 & 7) and we all look forward to reading it together as a family every year. The book is beautifully made with gorgeous illustrations for each page. Each day you read another page and get to open the door to hear more of the story and see a scene from the Christmas story. By Christmas Day you’ve opened all the doors and get to read the whole story. The wording is taken from Scripture so my kids have practically all the verses memorized from our yearly reading. It is such a treasure! It sounds like I’m a paid promoter, but really we just love this book so much 🙂
