While there are plenty of [advent calendars for candle lovers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holiday-candle-collection) that share full-sized or mini candles behind a hidden door, this candle is designed to be burned every day.

In total, the candle runs about 60 hours of burn time and it can be found in comforting, [aromatic scents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/molton-brown-christmas-advent-calendar) like Christmas Woods and Creamy Cinnamon.
