21 Edible Advent Calendars That Take Holiday Countdowns To The Next Level

Whether or not you are a firmly no-holiday-cheer-till-after-Thankgiving person or not, the fact remains: winter festivities are coming. While it might not be time to decorate quite yet, there is something you should probably get on quickly, and that's getting an advent calendar.
