When it gets cold and uncomfortable outside, there are handicraft projects in the living room, at the kitchen or desk – also for adults. Model building specialist Revell has come up with suitable advent calendars for this, for example a model of the X-Wing fighter from the Star Wars universe. Paints, stickers, components and the corresponding tools are hidden in 24 doors so that the kit is complete in time for the festival. Anyone who ultimately wants to put a less warlike model under the tree can, for example, also opt for the Titanic* or one VW-Bus* decide.

The Advent calendar of the satire website Postillon accompanies fans through Advent with 24 anecdotes and stories. The focus is deliberately on Christmas themes.
