British Christmas treats arranged for the festive season

The shop comes to you

The December countdown starts on our Halifax shelves

Pick the chocolate behind the doors, then let our Halifax shop send your calendar within Canada. Home addresses and PO boxes are welcome, and a domestic journey keeps customs paperwork and border fees out of the countdown.

We choose the UK versions of the brands remembered from childhood, and our Halifax packing team knows those favourites first-hand. Advent calendars sit within the most comprehensive range of British foods expats miss, without filler taking up shelf space. Canadian Google reviews, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, describe the care behind those deliveries.

A calendar for the chocolate they actually like

Start with the chocolate preference

Galaxy, Milkybar, Heroes and the other calendars have different contents. The product listings provide the current pack information so you can choose for the person who will open it.

Check the details for dietary needs

Use the individual calendar’s ingredients and allergen information rather than assuming a brand’s different products share the same recipe. Contact the shop if a label detail needs clarification before you buy.

Give the calendar its own delivery plan

A calendar has a date in mind, so read its current dispatch status and the courier estimate for the recipient address before placing a mixed order. Packing and courier transit are separate stages.

Chosen for the cupboard

Find their Christmas countdown

Pick by their favourite brand, the size of the calendar and the chocolate described on its product page, then enjoy planning the December ritual.

Packed in Halifax

Leave room for dispatch before the countdown

Check the expected dispatch window on each advent calendars product before you choose. The current advent calendars pre-order window is early November, with the whole order dispatched together once those items arrive.

If the everyday groceries beside your advent calendars are needed sooner, place them separately for the usual working-day dispatch. For in-stock advent calendars, packing normally takes one working day, with up to three in busy periods.

Full shipping policy ↗

Province rates and free-delivery thresholds for advent calendars are set out in our shipping policy. When planning for advent calendars, add packing and the stated pre-order window to the courier estimate shown at checkout.
