What our users say
The Perfect Long-Distance Gift
I made an Advent calendar for my boyfriend who lives abroad — each day had a little message, photo, or song we love. It felt so personal and emotional. He said it was the best surprise he's ever received! I couldn't believe how easy it was to create.
Almost Perfect, and So Heartwarming
I absolutely loved using this. It's such a sweet way to stay connected — I made one for my parents with old family photos and messages, and they opened it every morning with smiles. I only wish there were a few more themes, but overall it was wonderful!
Our Clients Loved It!
As a small agency, we sent a custom calendar to our clients. The option to add videos and playlists was a huge hit — people actually looked forward to opening their email every morning! Highly recommend this for creative companies.
Digitalize your Xmas countdown.
Build it in minutes. No login for you, no download for them, and the link is the whole thing.
Frequently asked questions
What is an Online Advent Calendar?
An online advent calendar is a digital Christmas countdown where you unlock surprises daily on your phone, tablet, or computer. It's a modern alternative to physical calendars, perfect for families, friends, or businesses.
Can I create my own advent calendar online?
Yes! You can make an advent calendar online using our easy-to-use online advent calendar maker. Upload photos, videos, or special messages and customize each day. It's a great way to share personal or business holiday surprises.
Open the makerIs there a free version?
It is free, all of it. Every kind of door, every length, and as many calendars as you like — there is no paid tier, no watermark, and nothing held back for later.
How do I gift an online advent calendar?
It's simple: just send the recipient a link. They can open their Christmas advent calendar online from anywhere in the world. No shipping delays, making it ideal for long-distance relationships and international gifts.
Do you have a solution for business?
The same builder does it. Put your own cover image on it, drop a discount code, a booking page or a video behind each door, and send one link to a whole team or mailing list — everyone opens their own copy, at their own pace. If you would rather someone built it for you, write to us.
Get in touchWhat types of content can I include?
You can add almost anything: personalized messages, images, photos, GIFs, music or videos, recipes and tips, discount codes, giveaways, games and challenges — great for an online interactive advent calendar.
Do I need to download an app?
No download is needed. Our advent calendar online works in any browser — mobile, tablet, or desktop.
Can I make a 12 Days online advent calendar?
Yes! Pick 12, 24 or 25 doors with one tap, or type any length up to 31 — which is what a countdown running to New Year's Eve needs. You also choose the day the first door opens, so it does not have to be December at all.
Are there online advent calendars for adults?
Definitely. You can create a digital advent calendar with romantic notes, recipes, cocktails, wellness challenges, or even prizes like gift cards — perfect for couples or friends.
Can I share my calendar with multiple people?
Yes. A calendar is a link, so it works for everyone you send it to — one person, a family, or a whole team. Each person's progress is remembered in their own browser, so nobody opens a door on anybody else's behalf.
Can I include videos or links?
Yes — paste a YouTube or Vimeo link, a Spotify track or playlist, an image address, or any page on the web. The builder works out what it is and shows you the result before you send it.
Do recipients need to download anything?
No — every digital Advent calendar works right in the browser.
Where is my calendar stored?
Nowhere. The whole calendar is packed into the link itself, and the part of a link that carries it is never sent to a server — not even ours. That is why there is no account to make and nothing to delete afterwards. It also means the link is the only copy, so keep it somewhere safe.
Can you create one for me?
Most people finish one in an evening, so the builder is usually the faster route. If you would rather it was done for you, write to us and tell us what you have in mind.
