The 12 Day Advent Calendar uses colorful drawers to share daily treats and once removed and replaced from back to front, a new picture is gradually completed as the days draw closer to Christmas. The countdown is full of 100% recyclable 3D puzzles and stencils for kids, plus fact cards and a mix of edible treats and toy surprises that are entirely free from dairy, nuts, gluten, soy and plastic. Made without 14 top allergens, the high-quality chocolate treats boast just three natural and organic ingredients: cacao, vanilla and coconut, which makes the sweets vegan-friendly yet creamy and milk-like.
