Top Quilting Advent Calendars for 2026

I love Advent calendars! A little treat or gift as a surprise each day is a perfect way to celebrate the season. Clearly, I’m not alone in my thinking! This is the sixth year that I’ve designed and offered the Mini Quilt Advent, and the number of Advent options have ballooned in that time! Two years ago, I decided to have a little fun with all the Advents out there, and ordered all the quilty advents that I could find! I spent over $2,000 on Quilting (and quilt-adjacent) advent calendars. Last year I did it again, spending over $3,000! This year, I’ve spent the whole year on the lookout for great quilting advent calendars, and spent over $4,000 on these fun holiday surprise boxes!

I’m going through the whole list in this video, showing you some of the past boxes, and sharing the prices of all the different Advent Calendars. At the end, I’m also sharing a few that I didn’t choose this year. Even with a large budget, getting all the advent calendars that I could find wasn’t practical. er, realistic. er, plausible…

Two of these advent calendars have already shown up! I can’t wait to start unboxing them!
