Advent Calendar FAQ

What's Inside Our Advent Calendars

A really delicious mix of sweet, sour, and gummy candies that we curate fresh every year. You might find nostalgic favourites, some unexpected picks, something you've never seen before and a few “oh wow, I found my new favourite” moments.

It’s designed to be fun all month long, whether you open it solo or share it with friends, family, coworkers, or clients.

For the Full 25-Day Advent Calendar, we do a Gluten & Dairy Free option and a Peanut & Nut Free option.

There is a $5 surcharge per calendar for allergens. Please ensure you select the correct allergen variant at checkout. We cannot make these changes after you have completed checkout.

Due to the high volume of Advent Calendars that we are producing, we are unable to accommodate special requests.

However, we will not include spicy or black licorice candies in our 2026 Calendars. You're safe!

Each Advent Calendar includes a few extras to make the experience more interactive and fun from start to finish.

You’ll find a Sweets Scorecard, where you can track each day’s candy, rate it, and follow along with the interactive elements of the calendar. On the back, you’ll also find tips for keeping your calendar fresh and details on how to participate throughout the season. If you need extra scorecards, you’ll find information on where to download more.

You’ll also receive an artist card, featuring the designer behind that year’s Advent Calendar stickers. On the back of that card, you’ll find details on all the ways you could win a free Advent Calendar for the following year.

Ways to win next year’s Advent Calendar for free:

  • Submit a completed Sweets Scorecard
  • Find a hidden bonbon winner sticker inside select cubes (25 different prizes available)
  • Complete the end-of-season Advent Calendar survey (sent to newsletter subscribers only)

Basically, there are multiple ways to play along and give yourself a shot at unwrapping next year’s calendar on us.

Honestly? Once the calendar is in your hands, you do you. If you want to open all 25 days at once, we’re not stopping you.

That said, the calendars are designed to be opened one day at a time. Each cube is designed to be part of a daily ritual, with interactive elements such as guessing the flavour, rating it on the Sweets Scorecard, or turning it into a mini blind taste test with whoever you’re sharing it with. It usually sparks a lot of opinions and friendly debate, which is half the fun.

If you’re more of an “all at once” kind of snacker, we’ve got plenty of other candy options in the shop for that, too. The advent calendar is really about the build-up, the tradition, and having something fun to look forward to every day.

How the Advent Experience Works

Check out the Sugar Cube's Virtual Advent Calendar Unboxing from December 1, 2026, to search for your candy!

But, before you do, utilize the Sweet's Scorecard included with your calendar to wager what flavour you might be sampling.

Then scan the QR code on the cube to head to our virtual advent calendar, where you’ll find the candy name, flavour info, and that day’s unboxing video. It's a fun little reveal and honestly one of the best parts of the day.

We know the boxes look very cute all lined up, but please only remove them from their shrink wrap once you've reached those specific days. We wrap the boxes to keep them fresh as long as possible!

We recommend placing any leftovers in a Tupperware container to preserve freshness for any candy you couldn't eat that day and would like to enjoy later.

Our Advent Calendars are candy-first. You’ll mostly find gummy, sweet, and sour candies, which are very much our wheelhouse.

We occasionally work with chocolate in other collections or candy baskets, especially when it’s prepackaged or gummy-based, but for Advent calendars, we made a deliberate choice. Not everyone loves chocolate, and if you do, you can get those types of calendars everywhere! The candy space gave us way more room to explore unique treats from around the world, bring in nostalgic favourites, and introduce people to flavours they might not normally pick for themselves.

It’s all about variety, discovery, and stepping a little outside your comfort zone in the best way.

We package our calendars differently on purpose because people care about different things.

The Individual Advent Calendar is made up of smaller, clear cubes that are fully sealed for maximum freshness from day one to day twenty-five. The stickers wrap the front, top, and back of each cube, and when they’re lined up in their sleeves of five, you only see the edges. You might catch a hint of colour. If freshness is your top priority and you don’t mind a tiny glimpse here and there, this is a great option.

The Family Advent Calendar is larger, holds more candy, is shareable, and comes in a white cardboard box. You won’t see any of the candy inside at all, which makes it the better choice if you want zero spoilers. The cardboard packaging is also a more environmentally conscious option. While the candy is still fresh and packed with care, the cardboard is naturally porous in comparison to the plastic individual cubes, so depending on the candy, you may notice a bit of natural candy oil on the outside of the boxes closer to the end of the month.

Same daily experience, just two different approaches depending on what matters most to you: freshness, sharing, sustainability, or keeping the surprise fully intact.

It depends on which calendar you choose.

The Individual calendar uses clear, sealed cubes. The stickers cover most of the cube, but you may catch a hint of colour if you’re really looking. If you don’t mind a tiny peek and care most about freshness, this one’s for you.

The Family calendar comes in a white cardboard box, so there’s no chance of seeing what’s inside before opening. If you want zero spoilers and a shareable size, go with the Family calendar.

Short version: a little peek? Individual. No peeking at all? Family.

Every year, we collaborate with a local or Canadian designer to create the illustrations and elements for our Advent Calendar stickers. It’s one of our favourite traditions and a really fun way to support and showcase incredible Canadian talent.

For our corporate calendars, we slightly adjust the designs to reflect your branding and colouring.

The sticker design changes each year, which means every Advent season has its own look and personality. It keeps things fresh, gives people something new to look forward to, and makes each calendar feel a little extra special.

If you’re curious to learn more about the artists we’ve worked with, you can find all the details here.

All of our unboxing videos live on our YouTube channel. You’ll find daily advent unboxings from past years, plus helpful videos on how to unbox your calendar, what tools to have on hand, and a few tips to make the experience even better.

We’ll link the current year’s playlist here and update it each season so it’s always easy to find.

Advent Calendar Pricing

It really comes down to size, candy quantity, and how they’re meant to be enjoyed.

The Individual Advent Calendar is designed for one to 3 people. It includes 25 days of candy at approximately 50g per day, totalling roughly 1kg, all sealed in clear cubes for maximum freshness. It’s great for solo gifting, couples, kids, or anyone who wants their own countdown.

The Family Advent Calendar is larger, made for sharing, and packed with significantly more candy. Each day includes about 125g, totalling approximately 3kg, and is designed for households, families, offices, or groups opening together. The larger format, increased candy volume, and packaging all factor into the higher price.

Same 25-day experience, just two different formats depending on how many people you’re opening it with and how much candy you want in the mix.

Absolutely. Our Advent Calendars work really well for corporate gifting, whether it’s for employees, clients, or end-of-year thank yous.

We can customize the calendar stickers with your branding, giving you 25 days of visibility in a way that feels fun and thoughtful, not salesy. It’s one of those gifts people actually look forward to opening.
