The most complete selection of Advent calendars at Walmart: must-haves for this Christmas.

The Advent calendar has become a tradition that marks the period of waiting and preparation for Christmas. It consists of a series of 24 numbered boxes representing the days remaining until December 25. Each day, a window is opened to reveal a surprise or special gift, allowing for joyful anticipation of Christmas's arrival.

This calendar has its roots in Christian tradition, where it was used to count the days leading up to Christmas, starting four Sundays before. It originated in Germany in the 19th century when families marked the days or lit candles. In 1908, Gerhard Lang created the first printed calendar, which revealed images behind small windows. Over time, it became popular and diversified, including chocolates, toys, and other gifts. Today, the Advent calendar is both a religious tradition and a broader cultural celebration.

Cubans have had to emigrate to enjoy this custom that is completely unknown on the island but deeply rooted in Europe and widespread around the world. The Advent calendar is an ideal gift to awaken the Christmas spirit, as both adults and children enjoy the excitement of opening a little window or receiving a small surprise every day during December.

Nowadays, in addition to those that fall within religious traditions, there are many versions that include chocolates, toys, cosmetics, and even beverages like wines or beers. They have evolved to attract a broader audience and promote Christmas consumption.
