Countdown to Christmas in Style: The Toy’s Delight Advent Calendar

by William Jones / ⠀Featured / August 27, 2025

As the seasons change and September brings a chill to the air, many start to get into the holiday planning mindset. Cherished family traditions, nostalgia and unforgettable gatherings around the table with loved ones all come to mind as we daydream about December. Preparing for the holiday early allows space to savor the season’s magic, and one of the best ways to ease into the spirit is by embracing the small yet meaningful traditions. One of the oldest German family traditions to kickstart the holiday excitement are advent calendars; they’ve been around serving as a daily countdown to the Christmas holiday for over a century. While typically containing chocolate for children, advent calendars have made their popularity known in more recent years with adults with 24-days of beauty, snacks even wine offerings. Getting back to their German roots, heritage lifestyle brand, Villeroy & Boch invites you to enjoy the true nostalgia of Christmastime with its elevated Toy’s Delight Advent Calendar, a collector’s keepsake that transforms December into 24 days of joy, luxury, and wonder.

A Little Holiday Magic, Every Morning

Villeroy & Boch takes the traditional advent calendar ritual of opening a daily surprise and transforms it into a beautiful holiday tradition that all ages will love. Behind each of the 24 doors is a festive porcelain surprise from the iconic Toy’s Delight collection. Each day unveils a new piece, from delicate porcelain ornaments to mugs and seasonal accents, gradually building a complete holiday tablescape by day 24. More than just a countdown, the Toy’s Delight Advent Calendar is designed as an evolving festive centerpiece to set the table and enjoy all December long.

More Than a Countdown

For 15 years, the Toy’s Delight collection has been a familiar presence on holiday tables, with its classic reds and greens and charming details of Santa, toys, and sweets. The designs feel like a nod to childhood Christmases—nostalgic, cozy, and just a little bit whimsical. What began as a few festive dishes has grown into a seasonal favorite, spanning ornaments, dinnerware, and decorations that reappear each December. To mark the anniversary, this year’s Advent Calendar is made up entirely of Toy’s Delight pieces, including ten that you won’t find anywhere else, hidden behind the little doors waiting to be unwrapped, giving you that “little kid on Christmas morning” feeling again.

From Nostalgia to Keepsake

Beyond holiday tableware and decor, the Toy’s Delight Advent Calendar takes that spirit and turns it into an experience. What makes this Advent calendar different is that it isn’t just about the countdown. It’s about creating a centerpiece that grows with you throughout December, turning mornings into little moments of joy and building memories around the table with friends and family. Because isn’t that what the holidays are all about? The Toy’s Delight Advent Calendar is available now, for $1,000 on the Villeroy & Boch website.
