Advent Calendar Activity Wheel

An advent calendar you spin: one festive activity a day for 24 days. Pick a list, spin, and the activity is crossed off so tomorrow brings something new.

Choose a list — Family, Kids, Couples or Self-care — and spin once a day from 1 December. Each activity you land on is removed from the wheel and remembered on this device, so you never get the same one twice, and the progress line shows which day you're on. Want a paper version for the fridge? Use the Print button above the wheel to print the list or save it as a PDF.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the advent calendar wheel work?

Pick a list and spin once a day. The activity you land on is removed from the wheel and remembered on this device, so each day brings a new one until all 24 are done.

Can I spin more than once a day?

Yes, there's no lock. After your first spin of the day you'll see a gentle reminder to come back tomorrow, but extra spins are allowed.

Is my progress saved?

Yes, in your browser on this device, separately for each list. It isn't sent to our servers. Clearing your browser data or pressing Reset starts the list again.

Can I print the activities?

Yes. Press Print above the wheel to print the list or save it as a PDF.

Can I add my own activities?

Yes. Use Paste to load your own list, or customize the wheel and save it to a free account.
