Back when we were kids, advent calendars were pretty dull affairs; you’d peel back your cardboard window to unveil a festive drawing – and that was it.

As we grew older, however, things changed; scrunchies went out of fashion, hair mascara suddenly wasn’t cool anymore, and our advent calendars underwent a pretty dramatic makeover. The sweet, albeit disappointing, pictures were swapped out for a small chocolate treat (usually in the shape of a candy-cane or gift box), which many of us enjoyed as part of a sugar-fuelled December breakfast.

Nowadays, however, chocolate advent calendars aren’t just the norm – they’re probably the most basic of the Christmas countdown family. And they’re fast going out of fashion.

Say hello to the new WINE advent calendar (because chocolate is so last Christmas)
