20 Cute Sock Advent Calendars for a Warm and Cozy Season
We've got footwear for Disney lovers, Game of Thrones fans and even those who love The Office.
By Lizz Schumer
There are two types of people in the world when it comes to choosing festive attire for a holiday gathering or just seasonal wear: First, there are those who go all out with a fun Christmas sweater, a pair of holiday-themed earrings or a particularly loud tie and perhaps even some reindeer deely boppers. Then there are those who like to keep their Christmas cheer a bit more understated.
The second group might find their footing in socks that portray their inner Buddy the Elf when they lift their pant legs or take off their shoes, so they can be more judicious about when to show off their style. And don't forget: the whimsy doesn't have to end when New Year's arrives. Regardless of what the calendar says, colorful socks can liven up even the most conservative outfit for work, school or any time you'd like a pop of personality. Sure, they make the perfect stocking stuffers, but if you want to dip your toes into seasonal attire even earlier, look no further than a great sock advent calendar to get you ready to celebrate.
Unlike traditional chocolate advent calendars, socks can help you pledge allegiance to your favorite fandom, too. Some top Advent calendars include an ode to Disney, Marvel, Harry Potter, The Office, Game of Thrones and many more. The best ones also come in a variety of styles for all ages and genders. Whether you prefer ankle socks, boot-length or no-show socks to slip into ballet flats, there's sure to be an option behind one of those little doors that fits your personal footwear preference.
If socks aren't your thing, we have inspiration for cool advent calendars for chocolate lovers, beauty mavens, wine drinkers, booze drinkers, cheese fans and more, so you can find your perfect countdown.
