Q: Do you count up or down on an Advent calendar?

A: Advent calendars are designed to have one surprise each day leading up to the holiday (Christmas, News Year’s Day, etc.) Most of our Advent calendars start on Dec. 1, but some start on Dec. 14 (Moser Roth 12 Days of Christmas Advent Calendar or O’Donnells 12 Days of Irish Country Cream Calendar) or Dec. 26 (Sparkling Countdown to the New Year).

While our Advent calendars are designed to begin at number one and count up, how you choose to enjoy an ALDI Advent calendar is entirely up to you!
