Advent calendars are a super fun way to count down to the holidays, but you don’t need to settle for a boring mass-produced one filled with basic milk chocolates that are all the same. Instead, you can pick up one from a local business and make the season bright by putting a twist on the tradition and supporting a Toronto shop.

Here are some local advent calendars made by Toronto businesses.

Stubbe

Advent calendars from this classic German chocolate maker come in two sizes. They’re loaded up with 24 confections from the shop including flavoured solid chocolates, candy cane bark, florentines, nonpareils and a caramel salted Santa for the last day.

Soul

There’s a dark chocolate advent calendar and a slightly sweeter version available from this artisan chocolate store.

Ricardo’s

If you’re the type of person that prefers candy over chocolate, an advent calendar from this colossal candy store filled with gummy treats is for you.

Mandy’s

Although this restaurant is known for its healthy salads, they’re not afraid to balance that out with sweet treats and are offering an advent calendar in collaboration with Juliette & Chocolat. Flavours include Salted Caramel, Crunchy Christmas Sprinkles and Funfetti Cookie Dough.

Grape Witches

Why get an advent calendar filled with chocolate and candy when you could get one filled with wine? Celebrate every day leading up to the holiday season with an advent calendar from a local wine shop. Each calendar comes with 12 bottles, and there are two “vibe options”: classic or freaky.

There’s a deluxe option and a standard option for a candy advent calendar from this local chocolatier.

Reid’s Distillery

A gin and tonic a day is just what the doctor ordered during the holiday season, and a local distillery has come up with an advent calendar so you can make that dream a reality. They also have a “12 Days of Gin” gift box if 24 is a few G&T’s too many.

Sukoshi Mart

This viral advent calendar brings something a little different to the table, packed full of K-beauty products and other goodies.
