Advent calendars usually count down to Christmas, but there’s no reason you can’t apply this fun idea to Halloween, too. Your kids are probably already counting the days until they get to trick-or-treat. Why not make it official?
The daily surprises in these calendars mostly cater to kids — like the one with felt shapes and characters that children can use to gradually fill in a haunted house scene. But there are a few in this bunch that teens would appreciate, such as the scary Funko Pop! figures from horror films. And if your babies are the fur variety, there’s even one filled with little dog toys.
None have candy or sweet treats. (We figure you’ll get enough of those on the big day.) Read on to select the perfect Halloween Advent calendar for you.
