Santa might check his list twice, but you might not want to wait that long to scoop up an advent calendar, because the best ones disappear faster than cookies left out on Christmas Eve.

One of my favorite ways to kick off the holiday season is by handing out advent calendars to my kids — it’s a tradition they look forward to every December. And these days, there’s a calendar for just about anyone's style or taste from makeup sets and surprise snacks to Legos and even treats for pets who want in on the fun.

These calendars start at $13, but the smiles are worth way more.
