Do you do Advent Calendar's? 2025

[-Blue-]

So I'm not sure who is doing an advent calendar this year. Two years ago someone made a thread about it, and it really interested me! So I decided to pick some out last year and continue the tradition this year.

I'm kind of boring and did the same ones I did last year. It's a hot chocolate advent and a marshmallow one. I only did the first day so far. The marshmallow was chai. The flavor was sweet, but a different kind of sweet. Hard to explain. Sort of almost like someone sprinkled a dash of pure cinnamon on it. It wasn't bad!

The hot chocolate was salted caramel. It was also good! But I prepared it a little off so tonight I will do better.

So who does or is doing one this year? And what kind did you get?

I'm actually thinking of getting a Harry Potter one but I'm broke

Nope. The last two years we did get some for my cats; we got them a treats one and toy one last year (we got them late so I gave the treaties whenever and all the toys all at once). The previous year there was a nice fancy feast one that I was hoping to find last year and this year but I haven’t seen it. It had canned food and treats in it; my girls loved this one.

I like advent calendars but they're so overpriced, so I don't know if I'll get one this year. Sometimes my mom sends me one, I hope she does again, they're always so random and funny. She sent me the knock off pokemon figure one I had last year.

Yesterday was dark chocolate and I prepared it a lot better. I also didn't use as much milk and it really brought the flavor out. All the chocolate flakes melted perfectly. The marshmallow was pumpkin spice and I really could taste the flavor! It wasn't bad, but the marshmallow was a little wet. I'm not sure if that was intentional.

Will try today's later tonight!

They really are! It's why I never did them before, but doing them with my sister has made them a lot of fun and memorable. So even though the price can sting I love those memories with her.

Your knock-off Pokemon calendar was so charming in its own way. At least to me hehe. And the official one was great!

I didn't know there were advents for cats! I've seen ones for dogs, but whenever I looked I couldn't really find any specifically for cats. That's great to know they exist! Maybe next year I'll see if I can find one early enough.
