Rather than going the conventional route of creating a Christmas countdown filled with chocolates, La Pâtisserie des Rêves developed its own festive food calendar filled with some of the treats that it is best known for.
The advent calendar itself is shaped like a traditional Parisian house and each of its doors and windows are designed to open, revealing a box filled with a sweet treat inside. Even after 25 days of treats have been experienced, the dollhouse can be emptied out and used during playtime.
While advent calendars designed for adults are gaining popularity, it's also inspiring many brands to get creative with the types of sets that can be put together as part of a limited-edition kit, a Twelve Days of Christmas pack or a 24-day calendar countdown.
