The Best 2022 Advent Calendars for the Holiday Season
I went on a searching spree today for the best 2022 advent calendars and I turned up on some serious gems! In the past couple years, I’ve just grabbed a lame little chocolate advent from Trader Joe’s and am always disappointed by the lack of flavor and innovation, although they did come in cute little shapes! This year, I’m looking for something that I’ll be excited to open each day, doesn’t involve unnecessary carbs and sugars, and will be surprising every time. I figured I’d share what I found with you in case you don’t want to do your own lengthy search! :)
