Ditch advent calendars for new treat this Christmas that kids will go wild for

Christmas might be a little while away but parents have been quick to praise this festive treat that children will love.

While advent calendars are a traditional way to kick off the holiday season, it turns out there’s a brilliant alternative for families who want to do things a little differently. A woman named Diane Webster has come up with a unique take on the Christmas countdown.

Instead of a calendar, this mother is instead making fold-out chocolate boxes filled to the brim with tasty treats – which fans have described as “amazing”. Her clever boxes have caught the attention of mothers worldwide.

Each box contains four layers of chocolate bars and sweets, while the very centre holds a delightful surprise of selection box chocolates, as reported by The Sun.

Just some of the classics included are Double Deckers, Crunchie bars, Freddos, Milky Way bars and Kinder bars – enough variety to satisfy an array of tastes.

Plus, if your little one happens to have more of a penchant for sweets, the boxes have you sorted too. Sweet-lovers will find Refreshers, WHAM barns, Chewits and Skittles, as well as beloved Drumsticks.

After receiving a number of requests from customers eager to order a box ahead of December, Diane uploaded a video of her cheerful boxes on Facebook, claiming she had begun to take orders for Christmas.

She wrote in the caption of her video clip: “I’m soooooo sorry, but I’m taking Christmas orders now, as I keep getting asked for them.” She added: “Four layers of chocolate and sweets mixed.”

You can even choose your bow and box colour, according to the post. The businesswoman also stated that the boxes “must be pre-ordered and deposit paid.”

Her video was filled with comments from those looking to order a box for their loved ones. “I think these are very reasonably priced and they look amazing,” one commenter said.

Another wrote: “So worth the money. I was over the moon with the gift box I had. Rammed packed with chocolate and sweets.” Meanwhile, a third chimed: "They're amazing."

For those with other dietary requirements, Diane also offers gluten-free versions of her beloved boxes. In terms of price, she charges £45 per box, plus a £5 postage fee.
