Scroll to the bottom for the template.





Your kids will love counting down the days to Christmas almost as much as the big day itself!

What you'll need:
2 bags MINIS MIX™ Chocolates for the Holidays
1 box SNICKERS® Brand Nutcrackers
1 box MILKY WAY® Brand Chocolate Crème Reindeer or MILKY WAY® Brand Chocolate Crème Santas
6 9 x 12-inch pieces pre-cut felt or construction paper in holiday colors
Non-toxic glue
Hole puncher
Pre-cut numbers or markers
Pre-cut holiday shapes
3 yards ribbon
Scissors
Printable template
What to do:

Using the printable template, cut 4 pockets from each piece of felt or construction paper. Fold the pockets over, according to the template, and glue the sides only.
Punch-cut holes in both top corners.
Glue on decorations and numbers. Line the pockets in order, 1 through 24. Weave the ribbon through all 24 pockets. Hang the advent pockets from a mantle, a tree... from anywhere!
Fill each pocket with a candy treat. Then, every day and starting on the first of December, your child can take a treat out of each corresponding day's pocket!


Tip: If twenty-four days is too much, make the pockets for the week before Christmas only (six days)!


Makes 24 pockets.
