It’s time for our annual advent calendar — and this year we’ve made a printable scratch-off version! Last year we did a flair-themed calendar, and this year we wanted something interactive and simple to assemble. We found scratch-off sticker circles online and designed a printable sheet with 24 holiday activities that can be hidden beneath the stickers to help you count down to Christmas.
We also leaned into the playful, over-the-top aesthetic and styled the calendar like a bright, vintage-inspired dream house — because sometimes the holidays call for a little extra whimsy.
Download and print the advent calendar from the provided PDF.
The artwork is formatted for an 18×24″ print. For an affordable, high-quality result, consider printing as a color engineer print at a local print shop.
Purchase small scratch-off stickers and place one over each activity square. Scratch off one sticker per day from December 1st through Christmas to reveal a new festive idea.

I half expect Barbie to stroll through the door every time I look at it. Make sure to print and assemble your calendar in time for December 1st so you can start the countdown on schedule.
P.S. This inspired our holiday decorating this year — playful, colorful, and a little nostalgic.
