The Countdown to Chill Calendar Aligns with College Basketball Season

— March 11, 2024 — Marketing
Advent calendars have evolved beyond the confines of Christmas, now offering a delightful countdown to various exciting events throughout the year, as seen in Coors Light's Countdown to Chill Calendar.

Created to support college basketball season and the multi-week tournament it leads up to, this fresh take on an advent calendar shares 21 days of gifts to help fans "keep their chill." This countdown for college basketball fans includes everything from Chill Tea to Press-On Nails to offer some soothing relief during the action.

The Countdown to Chill calendar is a part of the brand's month-long Don't Let Your Bracket Break You campaign. "Between busted brackets, fairytale stories, and game upsets, March is definitely not chill for college basketball fans," says Marcelo Pascoa, Vice President of Marketing at Molson Coors.
