What kinda calender do you have? It sounds amazing!
A gourmet marshmallow advent calendar! Each day behind the door gives a clue, so you get to guess the flavor before taking out the packaged marshmallow revealing the answer behind it! It's a lot of fun :)

Today is the first day of winter, the icy season. And the Pokémon behind the 21st door is an Ice type Pokémon. Pretty fitting. It’s also one of the very few Water-type Pokémon to have access to Freeze-Dry, my favorite move in the Pokémon games. The shout out goes to…

LAPRAS!
