# Mod Christmas Countdowns This Modern Advent Calendar Features Graphic Design Instead of Chocolate By Erin Fox | Published 2012-11-25 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-advent-calendar References: [etsy](http://www.etsy.com/listing/114919366/modern-advent-calendar-printable-pdf) & [etsy](http://www.etsy.com/shop/JhillDesign?ref=seller_info) The Modern Advent Calendar is just as enjoyable as a typical chocolate-rewarding countdown, as each day features a blue graphic design print. The Christmas countdown features the 24 days of December which lead up to Christmas day and each triangular flap lifts to reveal mini works of graphic art. This calendar is for the art-savvy, weight watchers and modern interior design junkies. It is a great addition to a mod home decor as the white board contrasts the blue openings. Advent calendars are becoming more intricate and updating themselves in a profound way, as they are no longer rewarding people with solely chocolate but rather adorable pieces of art. The adorable winter pattern is available in a magnitude of different patterns if one should wish for a different color. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.9/10 - Popularity: 78% | Activity: 91% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Intricate Advent Calendars:** The trend of advent calendars is evolving to become more intricate, featuring graphic designs instead of traditional chocolate rewards. - **Artful Christmas Countdowns:** Advent calendars are transforming into artful experiences, providing mini works of graphic art behind each flap as a modern twist on the traditional countdown. - **Personalized Advent Calendars:** The trend of personalized advent calendars is emerging, offering a magnitude of different patterns and colors to suit individual preferences. ### Who This Affects Most - **Graphic Design:** The graphic design industry has the opportunity to create intricate and visually appealing advent calendar designs. - **Home Decor:** The home decor industry can explore how advent calendars can be incorporated into modern interior design, offering artful and stylish options for consumers. - **Holiday Products:** The holiday products industry can capitalize on the trend of personalized advent calendars by offering a wide range of patterns and colors to cater to individual preferences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Artist-Designed Advent Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/venchi-x-anna-higgie-prestige-advent-calendar.md) - [Luxe Confectionary Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gourmet-chocolate-advent-calendars.md) - [Instant Noodle Advent Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instant-noodle-advent-calendar.md) - [Mindful Advent Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playin-choc-advent-calendars.md) - [Thoughtfully-Designed Chocolate Advents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/purdys-advent-calendars.md) - [Lunar Chocolate Countdowns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dandelion-chocolate-advent-calendar.md) - [Retro Candy Advent Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/candy-advent-calendars.md) - [One-Door Advent Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lidl-day-1-advent-calendar.md) - [Artisan Chocolate Advent Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-advent-calendar-1.md)
