Authentic German Advent Calendars for Christmas 2026

Don't settle for a cheap knockoff when selecting your Advent calendar. All the Advent calendars for sale from German Steins are authentic European-made items imported directly from Germany.

Advent calendars originated in Germany in the 19th century. Early calendars consisted of 24 candles, small pictures hung on walls, chalk marks on doors or wreaths with 24 decorated boxes or bags. They quickly gained popularity. Our selection includes traditional flat calendars with little doors for each day and innovative 3D Advent calendars you can display on a table or desk.

In addition to their Advent calendars, many Germans also display an Advent wreath, typically an evergreen wreath with four candles. One candle is lit on each of the four Sundays preceding Christmas.
