The holidays are coming, and with this Children’s Advent Calendar, the countdown to Christmas doesn’t come much cuter! Whether they’ve been naughty or nice this year, we promise you won’t find any coal behind these doors - we’ve hidden our most loveable chocolate characters for you to delight in, even if they’ve been up to snow good!

All of our 40% milk chocolate characters are modelled on their larger jolly chocolate pals, sketched and sculpted by our in-house Chocolate Sculptress. We never use ready-made moulds - by creating our own, we can capture the cute characteristics of our chocolate creations, making them all the more adorable.

Unique to this advent chocolate calendar only, our moulds have been created to put a smile on any face, whether the door is opened up first thing in the morning, or snacked on after school!

Say goodbye to the days of eating the stuff which is high in sugar and low in cacao - this calendar contains 40% milk chocolate only. At Hotel Chocolat, our mantra is more cacao, less sugar: this allows us to let your little one taste chocolate which is full of the nuanced notes of cacao, without being sickly sweet.

They’re having a blizzard of fun out there on the ice – catch them hiding behind closed doors with adorable pictures and witticisms. As a final farewell, the whole gang hold up an extra-special Christmas wish when there’s one more sleep to go! We won’t give much more away, but expect an even bigger treat on the night before!
