Half the fun of an Advent calendar is the daily ritual of opening a new door, and to get the full experience, you’ll want yours in hand by Dec. 1 (or Dec. 13 for a 12-day version) so you can start the countdown to the holidays on time. That deadline may feel far off, but the most popular calendars often sell out well before December arrives, so it pays to shop early.
