A curated set of books, often smaller formats or excerpts, packaged to be opened one day at a time during the Advent season leading up to Christmas. A typical set might include 24 books, one for each day of Advent, building anticipation and offering a diverse reading experience. These sets can focus on a particular theme, genre, or age group.
Such curated collections offer a unique way to engage with literature during the festive period. They can introduce readers to new authors and genres, rekindle interest in classic tales, or provide a shared reading experience for families. The element of surprise associated with each daily reveal adds to the excitement and encourages a daily reading ritual. Historically, Advent calendars served primarily as a countdown to Christmas. The incorporation of books elevates this tradition, fostering a love of reading alongside the holiday spirit.
