Discover the Magic of Ravensburger Advent Calendar Puzzles This Christmas

There's only 20 of the 24 here. That's all we could fit on!

Every December, Advent calendars bring a daily spark of anticipation. For many of us, that used to mean a small square of chocolate behind a cardboard door. 

But in recent years, Advent traditions have expanded into something far more imaginative, and one of the most enchanting options now comes from Ravensburger, the much-loved German puzzle maker known for its craftsmanship and family-friendly designs.

Ravensburger Advent Calendar Puzzles blend the slow, comforting joy of jigsaws with the excitement of a festive countdown. Instead of sweets, each day reveals a handful of pieces that gradually build into a complete Christmas scene by the 24th. It’s gentle, screen-free entertainment during a month that can easily feel rushed.

What Makes These Advent Puzzle Calendars So Special?

1. Beautiful, high-quality artwork

Ravensburger is famous for its crisp printing, satisfying textures, and sturdy pieces. Each Advent edition features whimsical winter illustrations, think snowy villages, cosy cottages, and cheerful holiday characters straight out of a Christmas storybook.

2. A daily ritual the whole family can enjoy

Opening a door to discover puzzle pieces sounds wonderfully simple, and that’s the beauty of it. You can build it alone with a cup of tea, or make it part of your household’s evening wind-down. By Christmas Eve, you’ve not only created a gorgeous picture but also built 24 days of memories.

3. A brilliant alternative to chocolate calendars

Whether you're reducing sugar, shopping for adults who “don’t need anything”, or wanting something longer lasting, these puzzle calendars tick the box. They offer the same element of surprise but without perishable treats or plastic tat.

4. Perfect for crafters, puzzlers and mindful moments

A few pieces a day encourages mindfulness, a rare pause in a busy season. Ravensburger’s Advent calendars appeal just as much to adults seeking calm as they do to children.

5. Reusable (with a little organisation!)

If you carefully keep the doors and pieces sorted, you can re-create the countdown next year or pass it on to a puzzle-loving friend.

Popular Ravensburger Advent Calendar Puzzle Themes

Although designs vary each year, recurring favourites include:

Santa’s Workshop – cheerful elves, toys, and sparkling detail.

Winter Wonderland – snowy landscapes, animals, and frosty magic.

Festive Village Scenes – warm windows, market stalls, and twinkling lights.

Children’s Christmas Stories – gentle, nostalgic illustrations perfect for young families.

For serious puzzlers, Ravensburger also releases mini puzzle Advent calendars, where each day includes a complete tiny puzzle — a lovely collectible series.

Why These Calendars Make Brilliant Gifts

If you’re looking for something thoughtful that lasts the whole season, Ravensburger Advent Calendar Puzzles are a winner. They suit:

grandparents

teachers

puzzle enthusiasts

families with young children

anyone who prefers experiences over consumables

They’re also fantastic for Secret Santa exchanges because they feel premium without being overly expensive.

Tips for Enjoying Your Puzzle Countdown

Use a small tray or board to keep pieces safe and tidy.

Make the daily build part of your evening routine — a soothing moment with a mince pie or hot chocolate.

Frame the finished picture if you fall in love with it; they make surprisingly lovely seasonal decorations.

Keep the pieces sorted by day if you intend to reuse it next year.

A Christmas Tradition Worth Starting

In a season that can easily become hectic, Ravensburger Advent Calendar Puzzles offer something rare: a calm, creative pause. They transform each December day into a moment of discovery, and by Christmas Eve you’re rewarded with a picture full of warmth, detail, and festive delight.

If you’re ready to swap chocolate for creativity this year, a Ravensburger Advent calendar puzzle might just become your new favourite tradition.

A Few Things to Keep in Mind

It’s heavy, at roughly 10 kg, make sure it’s delivered somewhere convenient!

It sells out fast, these calendars have a habit of disappearing by mid-November.

Craft beer fans who want to try something new every day.

Couples who love sharing a festive tipple.

Office Secret Santa swaps with a difference.

Anyone who’s a bit “chocolated-out” by mid-December!

Where to Buy

You can order the BrewDog Craft Beer Advent Calendar 2025 directly from the BrewDog online shop. Delivery is available across the UK, with dispatches beginning in early November.

Stock is limited each year, so if you’re thinking of gifting one, it’s best to buy sooner rather than later.

For those who love their beer as much as they love Christmas, the BrewDog Advent Calendar is pure festive fun, a perfect combination of craft, creativity and Christmas cheer.

Whether it’s under the tree, on the kitchen counter, or shared between friends at the office, this calendar will keep spirits bright all December long.

Just remember to enjoy responsibly, and perhaps pair that Christmas Eve brew with a mince pie!

Each sauce is designed to deliver gourmet taste while supporting wellbeing. There are no additives, no refined sugars and no compromises. Just clean, vibrant heat that brings people together and transforms every meal into something worth remembering.

Create Your Own Advent Calendar: A Festive DIY Guide

The countdown to Christmas is one of the most magical parts of the holiday season, and an advent calendar adds to the excitement by offering daily surprises in the run-up to the big day. 

While shop-bought versions are convenient, creating your own advent calendar allows you to tailor it to your family’s tastes, style, and traditions. 

Plus, it’s a fun and rewarding project that adds a personal touch to your holiday celebrations. Here’s how you can craft your own unique advent calendar.

Step 1: Decide on the Style

There are countless ways to create an advent calendar. Choose one that suits your space and crafting skills:

Hanging Calendar: Small fabric or paper pouches hung on a string.

Box Calendar: Individual boxes stacked or arranged in a festive shape. (That's what I'm doing this year!)

Wall Display: Envelopes, mini stockings, or felt pockets attached to a board or frame.

DIY Drawers: Upcycle an old drawer set or purchase a wooden advent calendar with compartments to customise.

Step 2: Gather Supplies

Depending on your chosen style, you’ll need different materials. Here are some general supplies:

Paper or fabric for making containers (pouches, envelopes, etc.).

Decorations such as stickers, stamps, ribbon, and festive embellishments.

Numbers (stickers, stamps, or handwritten).

A base structure like string, a board, or a box frame.

Small gifts, treats, or notes to fill each day.

Step 3: Choose the Fillings

The beauty of a DIY advent calendar lies in personalising the surprises. Think about the recipient and pick a mix of fun, thoughtful, and festive items:

For kids: Small toys, chocolate, activity cards, or stickers.

For adults: Mini toiletries, tea bags, candles, or indulgent snacks.

Family fun: Christmas trivia questions, craft supplies, or vouchers for activities like a movie night or baking session.

Step 4: Assemble Your Calendar

Create the containers: Whether you’re folding envelopes, sewing pouches, or decorating small boxes, ensure they’re sturdy enough to hold the surprises.

Number them: Add numbers 1 to 24 (or 25) to each container.

Fill them: Place a surprise in each container, keeping in mind the order if some days have specific themes or activities.

Arrange your calendar: Attach the containers to your base (hang them, stack them, or arrange them however you like).

Step 5: Add Finishing Touches

Once assembled, take a step back and look for ways to make your advent calendar even more festive. Add fairy lights, greenery, or a dusting of glitter for that Christmas magic.

Tips for Success

Plan ahead: Start early to allow time for sourcing materials and crafting.

Budget wisely: DIY doesn’t have to be expensive; use items you already have or check charity shops for supplies.

Get creative: Think beyond sweets and include meaningful notes or family activities to make each day special.

A homemade advent calendar is more than just a holiday countdown; it’s a reflection of your creativity and a gesture of love that will be remembered for years to come. Whether you’re making it for yourself, your children, or a friend, this project will bring joy to the festive season. Happy crafting!
