How to Create the Best 2026 Advent Calendars

Why choose a personalized Advent Calendar this year?

Every day in December deserves a little surprise. A personalized Advent Calendar turns the countdown to Christmas into a moment everyone looks forward to, with a design made from your own photos.

At Saal Digital, you can design the front or choose one of our Christmas designs, choose a filling or order it empty, and count on FSC® certified paper and recycled materials. Plus, you can save money when you buy multiple units with the same format, design, and surface.

🍫 Fillings: Choose the treats behind every door

Every Advent Calendar can be filled with a treat that suits your loved one’s taste. Pick from our favorites:

• Lindt Lindor Chocolate Truffles: Rich, indulgent, and available in a range of flavors
• Kinder Chocolate: Three classic Kinder products in mini format, perfect for a daily treat
• Nimm 2 Candy: Fruity candy for anyone who isn’t a chocolate lover
• Demmer Organic Tea: A relaxing moment every day, with a great variety of organic teas
• Empty for self-filling: Add your own notes, candy, or tiny gifts

💡 Tip: Ordering empty is a great option if you want full control over the surprises. Fill each door with small notes, their favorite candy, or little gifts for a ultra personal countdown.

✨ Special finishes: Make it shine

Did you know that you can use our special finishings in our Advent Calendars? Add a special touch with gold, silver, or rose-gold embossing. These finishes give your calendar noticeable shine and volume. Simply select your favorite finish while you design, then choose the parts you want embossed (text and/or cliparts).

We’ve also brought out new designs for 2026. Choose one of our new designs as a starting point, or create your own from scratch with your photos, cliparts, and text.

NEW for 2026: Explore our newest designs

We’ve also brought out five new designs for 2026. They come in different colors as well, so there’s something for everyone.

You can choose one of our new designs as a starting point, or create your own from scratch with your photos, clip art, and text.

🖼️ Advent Calendar with Door Images: A memory behind every door

Prefer no pre-filled treats? Our Advent Calendar with Door Images lets you reveal a special photo or message every day until Christmas. Design the front as you like, then decide what sits behind each of the 24 doors.

Choose memorable images or write heartfelt messages with our text editor. It’s a unique way to share a memory every day, and a gift that gets more meaningful as the countdown goes on.

💡 Tip: Plan the design around a theme, such as a year of family vacations, a child’s first year, or moments from your relationship. Each day can then tell a small part of the story.

🎄 Count down to Christmas in style

The best Advent Calendar is the one that makes every day feel special. Whether you choose sweet treats, a personal filling, or a door full of memories, a personalized calendar brings warmth and anticipation to the whole family.

Order early and make sure your calendar arrives in time for December.
