First of all, it features a much bigger 'calendar.' Secondly, it involves some very [decadent desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frozen-advent-countdown-calendar) rather than [tiny pieces of chocolate](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/purdys-advent-calendars). Essentially, the Andaz Hotel x Eyal Burstein advent calendar collaboration revolves around a tea time theme. In particular, it centers around a large table that has been set with antique tea cups, bowls and trinkets that will hold a new dessert every day leading up to Christmas. Burstein himself found the vintage tea paraphernalia and made the octagonal resin table while the Andaz pastry chef created the desserts for hotel guests. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 14% | Activity: 25% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Decadent Advent Calendars:** Expanding the concept of advent calendars beyond small chocolates to offer a more luxurious and indulgent experience. - **Experience-based Collaborations:** Creating unique, themed collaborations between hotels and designers to provide a distinctive experience for guests. - **Antique and Vintage Design Elements:** Incorporating antique and vintage design elements in modern, luxury experiences to create an atmosphere of exclusive nostalgia. ### Where This Applies - **Hospitality:** Hotels and restaurants can incorporate the concept of advent calendars to offer a unique, seasonal experience for their guests and patrons. - **Food and Beverage:** Companies can create decadent advent calendars that offer desserts, rare candies, and other exclusive treats that appeal to people with discerning tastes. - **Design and Decor:** Designers and decorators can leverage antique and vintage objects to create unique, high-end experiences for luxury housewares, events, and corporate clients. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Organic Tea Advent Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tea-advent-calendars.md) - [Luxurious Treat Advent Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cartwright-butler.md) - [Luxe Confectionary Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gourmet-chocolate-advent-calendars.md) - [Artist-Designed Advent Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/venchi-x-anna-higgie-prestige-advent-calendar.md) - [Expansive Tea Advent Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/piper-leafs-24-teas-of-advent-calendar.md) - [Luxury Chocolatier Advent Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2025-vosges-hautchocolat-advent-calendar.md) - [Festive Holiday-Themed Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxurious-holiday-advent-calendars.md) - [Tea Advent Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tea-advent-calendar1.md) - [Festive Spread Advent Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bonne-maman.md)
