Strategist readers love anAdvent calendar, and predictably so: They’re a delightful present to receive and unwrap, whether you’re the kind of person who savors them day by day or the kind who impatiently opens every door at once. The downside of Advent calendars, though, is that they can be a bit pricey, especially during the thick of the holiday season when budgets are strapped. But here at the Strategist, we’ve figured out the ultimate Advent calendar hack: Buy one right now from the Christmases of yore, and even better if its non-timeliness means it’s deeply discounted. Below, I’ve rounded up nearly two-dozen Advent calendars from previous years that are currently on sale, including ones with LEGOs, Funko Pops, candles, and more.
