Hide summary
The month of December is approaching and is accompanied by the traditional Advent calendar. From the first of the month, we count down each day until Christmas. Brands are seizing the opportunity and offering different calendars with surprises. Leclerc or even Carrefour put them on sale.
The brands know that success will be there. Even more so in 2024, since social networks come into play. On TikTok, in particular, Internet users show the calendars they buy in videos which sometimes record millions of views. Unfortunately, today it is a product recall that we are highlighting. If you have these calendars at home, bring them back as soon as possible.
Calendars to bring back to the store
Before the calendars are found at Leclerc or at Carrefour, we found them in Protestant German families of the 19th century. In fact, they placed candles with straws in the nativity scene to mark the days leading up to Christmas. The legend indicates that the idea for a calendar came from a Munich housewife, in order to channel the children's impatience.
The first commercialization of an Advent calendar, as we know it, dates back to 1908. We owe it to Gerhard Lang. He then puts on sale calendars showing small doors to open. Behind them were hidden, like today, small gifts.
