Your logo in their hands, day after day.
Finding the right number, opening the little door and seeing what’s inside is half the fun of an advent calendar. With a branded advent calendar, your company’s design becomes part of that December routine.
We supply calendars printed with your logo, colours and Christmas message for staff gifts, customer thank-yous and business mailings. There are desktop and traditional styles, with chocolate and sweet fillings to choose from.
24 little reasons to come back to your brand
A 24-door advent calendar gives someone a reason to return to your branding throughout the countdown to Christmas. Every time they find a number and open a door, they’re physically handling something with your name on it.
Your logo can be sitting beside their monitor or on the kitchen worktop, ready for the next chocolate break. The calendar is designed to be picked up and opened again tomorrow, giving your message repeated opportunities to be seen.
For customers, it’s a seasonal thank-you with room for a personal message from your business. For staff, it’s something to hand out ahead of December and enjoy during the countdown. Chocolate before the first meeting is entirely their decision.
The design matters here. Make your name easy to spot, give your message space to be read and choose something people will enjoy having on display.
Which branded advent calendar should you choose?
Start with the format and filling. A compact calendar is useful when desk space is limited or you have a mailing to organise. A larger design gives you more room for artwork and a message.
Here are a few options we can quote for:
Desktop chocolate advent calendars

Size: 180 × 205 × 10 mm.
A little chocolate break, with your logo right there on the desk. This desktop advent calendar contains 24 mini solid milk chocolates, giving the recipient a reason to return to your design throughout the Christmas countdown.
It’s a good option for staff desks and individual customer gifts. Use the printed front for your company colours, logo and a Christmas message from the team. Each time someone finds the next number and opens a door, they’re handling something with your branding on it.
Traditional chocolate advent calendars

Size: 275 × 200 × 10 mm.
The familiar Christmas calendar, with your business on the front. This traditional format contains 25 mini solid milk chocolates and has a larger face for your artwork.
There’s room for a festive illustration, a team photo or a Christmas thank-you, with your logo clearly worked into the design.
Mini chocolate advent calendars

Size: 210 × 148 × 15 mm.
A compact Christmas thank-you, filled with 50g of milk chocolate and printed with your design. The mini calendar is worth considering for customer mailings or handing out to staff across several locations.
With this smaller canvas your logo, a festive design and a short message can give it plenty of personality without squeezing in everything your business does.
Maxi jelly bean advent calendars
Get a quote for jelly bean advent calendars
Size: 282 × 215 × 14 mm.
For the person who heads straight for the sweets, this calendar contains 144g of Jelly Bean Factory® beans across 24 days. Your printed design is part of the daily search for the next door and whatever’s waiting behind it.
You can also add printed messages behind the doors. A short thank-you, a festive greeting or a little fact about your business gives the recipient something else to discover alongside the jelly beans. It’s another opportunity to make the calendar feel like it came from your team.
What goes behind the doors?
Milk chocolate is one option, with different calendar sizes and chocolate weights available. For something different, the jelly bean calendar gives you a sweet filling across the December countdown.
There are also vegan dark chocolate calendars. If you have dietary requirements to account for, tell us when you enquire so we can check the ingredients and allergen information for the particular product.
For a larger order, you can go further with the branding. A bespoke chocolate option allows your design to be moulded into the chocolate itself. That version starts at 1,000 calendars and has a longer lead time, so it’s worth discussing early.
Make the design your own
Your calendar can carry your company colours, logo and a Christmas message across the printed outer packaging. Selected styles also offer messages behind the doors, giving you another place to say something when the recipient opens them.
That could be a short thank-you, a little fact about your business or a festive message from the team. Keep it brief enough to read while they’re finding the chocolate.
Think about the main design at its actual size, too. A logo that looks clear on a large screen can become difficult to read when surrounded by tiny text, pictures and door numbers. A strong image and a short message give people less to squint at.
Send us your logo and any wording or artwork you’d like included. Our team in Faversham can help prepare the design for the chosen calendar and arrange a proof for you to check before production.
What affects the price of branded advent calendars?
The format, filling, quantity and branding options all affect the price. Postal packaging and the delivery arrangement also need to be included when comparing the total cost.
Give us your expected quantity and the style you like. If your numbers are flexible, we can quote at a couple of quantities so you can see how the cost changes. For orders covering several offices or branches, include the combined quantity and any separate delivery requirements.
We’ll set out what’s included in your quote, including any artwork or setup charges.
Ask us for prices for your quantity
Get them there before the first door opens
The date to work back from is 1st December. If the calendars arrive with you on 30th November and you still have a customer mailing to organise, you’ve left yourself quite a job.
Allow time to approve the artwork, have the calendars produced and delivered, then get them to the people receiving them.
As a guide, the desktop and traditional chocolate calendars above list lead times of 10–15 working days from artwork approval for orders below 5,000 units, depending on quantity. The calendar with chocolates moulded to your design lists 4–6 weeks. We’ll confirm the current timing for your order, including delivery, before you go ahead.
Tell us when the calendars need to reach you, taking your own distribution plans into account. Availability and production capacity can change during the Christmas ordering period.
Put your name on their December countdown
Send us the calendar you like, roughly how many you need and your required delivery date. Include your logo and any budget you’re working to, and we’ll put together a quote.
If you’re not sure which product to choose from our website, tell us what you’re looking for and we can suggest some options.
