Advent Calendar for Calendarize it!

An Advent Calendar is a special calendar used to count or celebrate the days in anticipation of Christmas. Since the date of the first Sunday of Advent varies, falling between November 27 and December 3 inclusive, the Advent calendar usually begins on December 1, although many include the previous few days that are part of the season.

The Advent Calendar add-on is completely integrated in Calendarize it!, and uses it’s own advent custom post type. This way you can easily only show the Advent events.

You don’t necessarily need to use the Advent Calendar to create a traditional Christmas Advent Calendar. You can use it as a countdown to any notable thing or event. You can easily set the start date and end date.

We have included 25 beautifully crafted Xmas icons specially designed for the Advent Calendar, and 25 cute snowflake icons, which you can use when you create your Advent Calendar. Of course, you can also use your own pictures if you like.

Just like Calendarize it! we have made the Advent Calendar very flexible so that you can use this for more than just a traditional advent calendar. Hope you like it!
