Everyone Deserves a Seat at the Candy Table.⁠

One of the hardest parts of sharing treats is realizing someone can’t enjoy them with everyone else. We’ve never liked that feeling.⁠

Over the years, we’ve worked hard to make our Candy Advent Calendars more inclusive (just like everything we do!) because we believe holiday traditions should be shared, not watched from the sidelines.⁠

That’s why our 25-Day Candy Advent Calendars are available in Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free and Peanut-Free & Nut-Free options.⁠

Looking for something Halal or Vegan? Our 12 Days of Holidays Candy Advent Calendars, released later in the season, are available in both Halal and Vegan options too.⁠

It means more families can count down together, more coworkers can participate, more gifts can be given with confidence. And honestly... that makes us just as happy as choosing the candy itself.⁠

I know firsthand how much thought, work, and careful consideration goes into selecting every candy for these options, and watching someone realize they finally get to participate in the countdown too? That never gets old.⁠



Every year, our Candy Advent Calendars become part of family traditions, friendly competitions, candy discoveries, and holiday memories we never could have imagined when we packed our very first one.⁠

And every year, they sell out.⁠

Okay, before anyone says IT’S TOO EARLY… hear us out. 🎄

We added the Christmas Collection to the shop!

If you’re on our newsletter list, you’ll already know about this sneaky drop, but we promise we have a plan! This is simply us looking out for those of you who like to get a head start. We know it’s September, no one needs to put their tree up, even we understand that’s too soon.

Advent VIP Weekend is coming, so you can casually start adding a few Christmas goodies to your cart now. Then when it’s time to grab your Advent Calendar, everything is already there waiting, you can check out in one go, and it can all arrive together.

See? We’re not rushing Christmas. We’re being efficient.

You’re welcome. 😂

The Artwork Everyone Waits For.⁠

If you’ve followed our Candy Advent Calendars for a while, you probably know this already...Revealing the artwork has become one of the biggest moments of Advent season.⁠

Every year, we partner with an incredibly talented Canadian artist to create an original illustration that’s exclusive to that year’s calendar. It’s something completely new, completely unique, and something we spend months dreaming about before we ever reveal it to the world.⁠

Of course, the candy is what gets everyone excited at first. But then something funny happens.⁠

People tell us they leave their calendar out all December because it’s simply too beautiful to put away. That has become incredibly important to us.⁠

These calendars aren’t just something you open. They’re part of your holiday décor, your kitchen counter, your family photos, and your December traditions.⁠

Supporting local artists has become one of the most meaningful parts of this project. Every year we’re blown away by the creativity they bring, and every year I get just a little too excited waiting to finally show you what they’ve created because I’ve been able to see the whole process.⁠

Trust me... this year’s artwork is absolutely worth the wait.⁠



Every year, our Candy Advent Calendars become part of family traditions, friendly competitions, candy discoveries, and holiday memories we never could have imagined when we packed our very first one.⁠

And every year, they sell out.⁠

Just doing our part for the local economy.⁠

Was it on the list? Probably not. Did you need it? That feels subjective. Did adding it to your cart support a local business and therefore make you an active participant in your community? Heck yes!⁠

Honestly, I window shop online all of the time! Fill my cart for the serotonin boost, and then disappear into the night, never to revisit it again.⁠

And with Advent VIP Weekend coming up, this feels like a particularly important piece of financial literacy to share; maybe you should fill your cart and actually check out?⁠


For example, buying an Advent Calendar for yourself AND one for someone else is not “getting carried away.” That second one is a gift, which is an entirely separate budget category.⁠

Candy math always checks out.⁠

Every Morning, We’ll Unbox Together.⁠

By the time December rolls around, something funny starts happening.⁠

Every morning, our comments and messages start filling up, with unboxing videos taken by YOU. We love seeing real-time reactions, comments and thoughts. It’s such a fun community experience.⁠

That’s because opening our Candy Advent Calendars isn’t just about the candy anymore. Every single day in December, I’ll be right there with you.⁠

Each calendar includes access to our online Candy Unboxing, where we’ll unwrap that day’s candy together. I’ll share what it is, what it tastes like, where it comes from, and why it earned a spot in this year’s lineup. You’ll also find ingredients, allergen information, and everything you need to learn a little more about what’s hiding inside each cube.⁠

It’s become one of my favourite traditions because it feels like we’re all counting down together, no matter where in Canada we’re opening our calendars.⁠

Honestly... by about Day 10, I start looking forward to seeing everyone’s reactions almost as much as I enjoy my son unboxing his own.⁠



Every year, our Candy Advent Calendars become part of family traditions, friendly competitions, candy discoveries, and holiday memories we never could have imagined when we packed our very first one.⁠

And every year, they sell out.⁠

One Size Doesn’t Fit All

Here’s something we learned a long time ago.⁠ No two holiday traditions look exactly the same.⁠

Some people unwrap a piece of candy with their morning coffee before the house wakes up. Others gather the whole family around the kitchen island every evening. We’ve even seen coworkers turn their Advent Calendar into the best part of the workday.⁠

That’s why we created two different sizes.⁠

Our Individual Calendar includes clear cubes with approximately 50 grams of premium gummy candy every day, making it perfect for one person or for sharing with someone who promises they’ll “only have one.”⁠

Then there’s the Family Calendar.⁠

With approximately 125 grams of candy hidden inside every cube, it’s built for families, roommates, offices, holiday parties... or anyone who knows one handful is never enough.⁠

No matter which size you choose, you’re getting the exact same experience. Twenty-five days of incredible candy, beautiful artwork, interactive surprises, and plenty of moments you’ll be talking about long after Christmas.⁠

Confession: if someone tells me they’re buying the Individual Calendar “to share,” I quietly wish them the very best of luck, not because it’s not possible, only because I know they will love it and wish they had even more. There is no wrong way to do Advent season!⁠



Every year, our Candy Advent Calendars become part of family traditions, friendly competitions, candy discoveries, and holiday memories we never could have imagined when we packed our very first one.⁠

And every year, they sell out.⁠
