14+ Different Couples Advent Calendar Ideas for Christmas 2024
Without further ado, let’s get stuck straight in shall we? In no particular order, here’s 14 of our all-time favourite couples advent calendar ideas for Christmas 2024…
1) DIY Date Advent Calendar
First up, one of our favourite couples Christmas advent calendar ideas, is to scrap the classic chocolate advent calendar, and instead – focus on EXPERIENCES, rather than things!
Create your own DIY advent calendar, and use our Ultimate Christmas Dates Bucket List to fill it with daily suggestions for Christmas things you can do as a couple.
TOP TIP: Try to mix up, big dates with small ones to make it more manageable (of course!)
So maybe one night you may make a cute Christmas craft, the next perhaps you’re snuggling up with a Christmas movie. When the weekend comes – it’s a Christmas market date day. You see?
But by doing this, you then guarantee you’re getting quality time in for the two of you, during one of the busiest times. Which is actually one of the greatest gifts of them all!
2) Cute Couples Photo Advent Calendar
Another great DIY advent calendar idea for couples is to create one filled with photos.
This is actually one of the most romantic things to do for your partner and will fill their heart with love, joy and appreciation!
Each day they’ll open their advent calendar to find a new photo printed, with a little note about why this was such a special moment or memory for you.
It’s a great way to help you feel closer to your partner, and it’s super fun to do!
With an Instant Photo Printer, you can print photos in seconds, straight from your phone. Then simply wrap with some cute ribbon and slide inside your advent calendar.
