How advent calendar competitions work
An advent calendar competition is usually one web page with 24 or 25 doors, one for each day of December up to Christmas. Each day a new door opens with a new prize and its own entry form. Some let you enter every door until the end of the calendar; others only accept entries on the day, so check each door's closing date.
12 Days of Christmas giveaways work the same way over a shorter run, usually in the last two weeks before Christmas.
Tips for advent calendar competitions
- Make it a daily habit. Prizes that are only open for a day get fewer entries, so opening the doors each morning pays off.
- Bookmark the calendar, not the door. Most calendars keep the same address all month, so one bookmark gets you every day.
- Read the rules once. Terms usually cover the whole calendar: check whether you can win more than once and how winners are contacted.
- Look for more festive prizes. See all Christmas competitions and competitions ending soon.
