From Australia's Huckleberry Agency, the Otherdays Calendar consists of illustrations for lesser known holidays in December, from Bath Tub Party Day to Bicarbonate of Soda Day and of course, Festivus For The Rest Of Us. Also, instead of only having 24 days on the count-down, the creative advent calendar has 31. When you click on that day's image, you also learn some fun facts. Even though chocolate is tasty, knowledge is invaluable. For example, today is Mountain Day and on Mountain Day we learn that 27% of Earth's surface is covered in mountains. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 27% | Activity: 27% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Creative Advent Calendar:** Opportunity for innovative approaches to advent calendars that celebrate lesser known holidays and provide daily insights. - **Illustrated Calendars:** The use of illustrations in calendars creates engaging and visually appealing content for consumers. - **Fun Facts Education:** Incorporating fun and interesting facts into daily experiences, like advent calendars, offers educational opportunities in an entertaining way. ### Who This Affects Most - **Design and Printing:** The design and printing industry can explore new techniques and creative approaches to produce visually appealing and unique calendars. - **E-commerce:** E-commerce platforms can capitalize on the trend of creative advent calendars by offering a wide variety of options and personalized designs. - **Education and Learning:** The education sector can leverage the concept of fun facts advent calendars to create engaging and educational materials for students. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Charcuterie Advent Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charcuterie-advent-calendar.md) - [Artist-Designed Advent Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/venchi-x-anna-higgie-prestige-advent-calendar.md) - [Brainteaser Advent Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/project-genius-advent-calendar.md) - [Bookish Advent Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/advent-calendar-for-book-lovers.md) - [Instant Noodle Advent Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instant-noodle-advent-calendar.md) - [Ice Cream Advent Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/12-days-of-ice-cream.md) - [Lunar Chocolate Countdowns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dandelion-chocolate-advent-calendar.md) - [Hard Iced Tea Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/25-days-of-twistmas.md) - [Craft Soda Advent Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soda-advent-calendar.md)
