10 Advent Calendars at Williams Sonoma That Will Sell Out Quickly

There’s something so fun about an advent calendar. Counting down to Christmas with a visual representation of the special day drawing nearer is a beloved tradition in many homes that celebrate the holiday. The daily moving of a cross-stiched Santa Claus from one pocket to another, or the opening of a candy-filled compartment adds a sprinkling of extra joy as we celebrate our way through the month of December. 

My family has a gloriously 1980s version on which we hang tiny wooden ornaments every day until Christmas. It’s one of my most beloved holiday items that I took from my parents’ house, and it just wouldn’t be Christmastime without it. As much as I adore that old advent calendar, though, with its chipped paint and weird penguin ornaments, I always secretly wanted a candy version, too. Thankfully, Williams Sonoma has made that wish come true with its new collection of advent calendars in a wide range of fun themes. Whether you’re a movie fanatic, tea enthusiast, bourbon lover, or just want a delicious piece of chocolate every day, Williams Sonoma has an advent calendar for you.

Elf Advent Calendar

It’s hard to believe this classic Christmas movie is over 20 years old. Heartwarmingly hilarious, Elf is a favorite of many people this time of year, and every Christmas, its fanbase only grows. I love the film so much that I named my daughter after one of the main characters. 

And while the best way to spread Christmas cheer may be singing loud for all to hear, this Elf advent calendar is another great way to celebrate. Included in its “12 days of cheer” are perfectly themed items like candy canes, hot cocoa mix, and, of course, maple syrup. Enjoy it for yourself, or gift it to a fellow Elf fan. After all, there’s room for everyone on the nice list.
