It’s just 45 sleeps until Christmas (yes, we’re already counting!), which means you’ve only got 21 days until the kids start demanding their advent calendars.

This year there are plenty of crackers to choose from that little ones (and grown-ups, let’s be honest) will love.

Of course there’s the standard chocolate, but you can get calendars filled with other sweet delights like jelly beans, popcorn and even ice cream mochi.

Worried that will make them even more hyper? Then appeal to their creative side with 24 days of fun stationery and festive crafts.
