Fall has arrived and that can mean only one thing: the holidays are coming! So it likely comes as no surprise that Advent Calendars are starting to pop up in stores such as Costco, Target, and even World Market.

Recently, I made a trip to World Market to check out their holiday offerings and found that they had a number of Harry Potter Advent Calendars already on their store shelves. (I bought an Advent Calendar, but it was not a Harry Potter one.)

At the World Market I visited, they had three different Harry Potter calendars to choose from (and it is possible that more are on the way). Not only was their the Jelly Belly Harry Potter Marauder's Map Trivia Advent Calendar, but there were also a puzzle calendar and a hot chocolate option as well. The Harry Potter Hot Chocolate Bombs 12 Day Advent Calendar featured a beautiful box with the Hogwarts castle on the front. And then there was the 24 days of Jigsaw Puzzles. All three Advent Calendars offer something different, while still being perfect for the Harry Potter fans out there.

Harry Potter Advent Calendars have started to hit store shelves

If you are a fan of Jelly Belly jelly beans, I definitely recommend the Marauder's Map Trivia Advent Calendar. I had last year's Jelly Belly Trivia Advent Calendar (and even did daily calendar openings on TikTok) and it was a fun way to remember the magic of Hogwarts, while also trying jelly bean flavors I may have missed before.

I also love the idea of the puzzles, as this is a great way to try something new and interesting instead of a food or drink based Advent Calendar. This might also be a great treat for those younger Harry Potter fans. And of course, if you prefer a shorter calendar, the 12 days of hot cocoa is a win as well.

Obviously, these are just the Advent Calendars that we found at World Market as of September 23, and there will likely be others on the market as well. But we definitely wanted to give fans of Harry Potter a heads up that these are hitting stores, because we often find that the unique calendars and the favorites sell out quickly (even before we are actually thinking of Advent Calendar season).

What do you think Banterers? Are you on the hunt for unique Advent Calendars this year? What do you think of these Harry Potter Advent Calendars?
