If you’re in search of delightful and creative Advent ornaments, this post is packed with fantastic ideas! Ranging from felt Advent ornaments and wooden Advent calendars with ornaments to Jesse Tree Advent ornaments and other religious Advent ornaments, there’s something here for everyone!
This is a charming Christmas tradition that guides you toward Christmas Day! Having a 24-piece Advent calendar adds to the excitement of counting down to Christmas and provides a unique ornament to unwrap each day. If you’re looking for a new ornament daily, this is an enjoyable way to do just that! By the end of the Christmas season, you will have a collection of new ornaments to hang next year!
Creative Advent Ornaments for Your Advent Calendar
As the festive season approaches, I find myself in full planning mode. It’s essential for me to create an engaging 25 Days of Christmas Advent Calendar filled with activities, scriptures, and special moments to share each day in December. In past years, I’ve found that having a structured plan greatly enhances our December experience, making it more joyful and fulfilling.
Without a plan, we often miss out on some of our beloved Christmas traditions, such as setting up our children’s nativity set, reading Christmas-themed books that center on the Savior, coloring nativity scenes, purchasing a new nativity ornament, dressing in nativity costumes to reenact the Christmas story, decorating a Christmas tree, caroling at nursing homes, and spreading anonymous gifts, among many others!
Many families enjoy the tradition of Advent calendars! There are countless ways to create and personalize an Advent calendar. I’ve shared various types of Advent calendars you can either create or purchase, including toy Advent calendars, nativity-themed calendars, and several unique options. Each type serves a distinct purpose.
Most people tend to have a simple Advent calendar that they reuse each year, complete with spaces for Advent ornaments or small drawers. They choose their own Advent calendar fillers—gifts, treats, scriptures, or activities—year after year, filling each drawer or writing notes on the back of an ornament.
Today, I am excited to share some wonderful Advent calendar ornament ideas! These suggestions include ornaments to create each day leading up to Christmas, mini ornaments for display, and those that can adorn your regular Christmas tree. I aimed to include a diverse range of materials, from wood to felt to paper. You’ll find both paid options and numerous DIY homemade ornaments that you can craft with your children. I hope this list helps you find precisely what you need to enjoy your countdown to Christmas!
