Quick Beauty Advent Calendar Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Beauty Advent Calendar?
An advent calendar is a calendar made of cardboard used to count the days of Advent in anticipation of Christmas. It’s adorned with numbered doors, one for each day before Christmas, which is opened on each day of Advent to reveal a picture appropriate to the season.
According to Vox, “Advent calendars (in one form or another) were adapted some time in the 19th century by German Lutherans as a way to mark the days of the season leading up to Christmas. By the early 20th century, calendars were being manufactured and published in Germany, aimed at delighting kids during the holidays.”
