Countdown to Christmas with Victoria Centre Article
The countdown to Christmas is officially on, and there’s no better way to mark the start of the festive season than with the opening of the first door on an advent calendar.
We know that not everyone’s a chocaholic, with some preferring to test out special herbal teas, sample warming whiskeys or chow down on popcorn and pork scratchings – that’s why we’ve put together a list of the best, and most unique, advent calendars available this year at Victoria Centre.
John Lewis & Partners
For those with a penchant for herbal teas, try the 24 Days of Tea Calendar (£20). Each adorable teacup window contains a pyramid shaped tea bag, with flavours from classic English Breakfast to strawberry and kiwi, fresh Moroccan Mint, spicy chai or soothing ginger.
Have you been waiting all year to re-watch Love Actually for the thousandth time? Joe & Seph’s Popcorn Advent Calendar (£25) makes the perfect festive film companion. The 24 doors conceal 19 flavours of award-winning hand-made gourmet popcorn bites, including classic caramel alongside more seasonal options like cinnamon and custard roll and gingerbread.
For the people in your life who think the best thing about Christmas is the pigs in blankets, then check out the Snaffling Pig Co. Pork Crackling Advent Calendar (£18). The moreish mini bags of pork crackling are perfectly crunchy with flavours such as Slow BBQ, Marvellous Maple and of course, Pigs In Blankets.
