# Snapping Chocolate Christmas Countdowns The Kit Kat Advent Calendar is Made Up of 24 Fingers By Meghan Young | Published 2013-12-23 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kit-kat-advent-calendar References: [ibelieveinadv](http://www.ibelieveinadv.com/2013/12/kit-kat-advent-calendar/) & [jwt](http://www.jwt.com/) Although counting down to Christmas has almost come to an end, people might want to keep their eyes open for the [Kit Kat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kit-kat-gingerbread-cookie) Advent Calendar next year. Unsurprisingly titled '24 Breaks before Christmas,' it is essentially one very large Kit Kat bar. But what sets it apart from the classic four-finger bars, the Kit Kat Advent Calendar is numbered and has some fun iconic images to signify more special days throughout this period. Conceived by JWT, an ad agency based in Frankfurt, Germany, the Kit Kat Advent Calendar is perhaps one of the most natural creations when it comes to this chocolate treat. It was art directed by Andreas Villing and Oliver Wohlfarth with creative direction by Mark Karatas. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 29% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Chocolate Advent Calendars:** Innovative and themed advent calendars offer an opportunity for companies to capitalize on the holiday season and provide unique countdown experiences. - **Personalized Packaging Designs:** Customized packaging designs provide a way for brands to enhance consumer engagement and create a more immersive experience. - **Nostalgic Brand Collaboration:** Collaborations between iconic brands tap into nostalgic sentiments and attract consumers looking for unique, limited-edition products. ### Who This Affects Most - **Food & Beverage:** The food and beverage industry can explore creative ways to incorporate themed treats and personalized packaging to enhance customer interactions and boost sales. - **Marketing & Advertising:** Marketing and advertising agencies can assist brands in creating unique collaborations and designs that evoke nostalgia and resonate with consumers. - **Retail:** Retailers can leverage the popularity of advent calendars and collaborate with brands to attract customers and create a sense of excitement during the holiday season. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Festive Advent Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/advent-campaign.md) - [One-Door Advent Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lidl-day-1-advent-calendar.md) - [Collaborative Candy Advent Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cadbury-dairy-milk-biscoff-advent-calendar.md) - [Fan-Favorite Chocolate Advent Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hotel-chocolat-everything-advent-calendar.md) - [Instant Noodle Advent Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instant-noodle-advent-calendar.md) - [Spooky Treat-Inspired Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/31-days-of-halloween.md) - [Cheese-Themed Advent Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheesethemed-advent.md) - [Adult-Friendly Chocolate Advent Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/assorted-truffles-advent-calendar.md) - [Creamy Candy Advent Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cadbury-dairy-milk-creamy-advent-calendar.md)
