But that doesn’t mean a girl can’t dream, right? I look at this as an early reminder to plan ahead for next year, with our collective fingers crossed that these will be offered next year. Now I’ll admit that these are both extremely limited, so it's very likely you won’t get one. “There is something for everyone to enjoy this holiday season.”īell's has a limited edition Advent calendar this year, that you can only pick up at the General Store at Bell's in Kalamazoo. “The team worked really hard hand-packing this release with a variety of Bell's beers,” said Josh Smith, communications manager for Bell’s Brewery. Bell’s Brewery and Founders Brewery each produced a limited number of special versions of Advent calendars, and they each contain brews you might not be able to find anywhere else. Lucky for us here in Michigan, two breweries are offering beer Advent calendars, where behind each wrapped bottle there is a wonderful liquid surprise.

It’s something about the surprise, about not quite knowing what you are going to get, and the constant hope for potential greatness, that sets these seasonal offerings apart. The outrage was always palpable, but what could my mother do? There was only one box for each of us, and once they were gone, they were gone.Īdult Advent calendars appeal to me greatly, just like my chocolate-filled ones of yore. That is until your little brother and sister got their hands on that special thin little box and started stealing candies from December 25 on up. A wonderful prospect at the start of dark and dreary December. Out it would pop, and you could enjoy it safe in the knowledge that tomorrow, and the day after that, and oh my gosh the pretty much the whole entire month, you got to have a piece of candy each day. As a child, I always got super excited for December first, when I could finally push open that little cardboard door on my Advent calendar and reveal that precious little shaped chocolate.
