About Nestlé KitKat Advent Calendar

About Nestlé KitKat Advent Calendar

December is the one month when chocolate before breakfast counts as tradition. The Nestlé KitKat Advent Calendar makes it official.

One door a day, one bit of KitKat, and a strict rule that nobody opens tomorrow's. Somebody always does. It is never them.

If you grew up in Britain, the calendar on the fridge was how you knew Christmas had properly started. This one brings that countdown to Christmas in Canada, with the KitKat you remember snapping in half at school.

Hang it up on the first, and let the arguments about whose turn it is begin.

Frequently asked questions about Nestlé KitKat Advent Calendar

Q: Is this the UK KitKat advent calendar?

A: Yes, it is the British Nestlé one, and it ships from within Canada. Same KitKat, same little doors, same squabbles.

Q: How big is it?

A: It is 85g, a slim countdown calendar rather than a chocolate mountain. Light enough to hang anywhere, which is exactly what makes it dangerous.

Q: Is it a good Christmas gift for someone who misses home?

A: Very much so. It posts easily, and a British calendar on the wall in December says more about home than a card does. Just keep it somewhere cool on the way.

Q: When do you start opening it?

A: The first of December, one door a day. Officially, anyway.

More about Nestlé KitKat Advent Calendar

In Britain the chocolate advent calendar belongs to December as firmly as the nativity play and the tree going up a bit too early. KitKat has been in British lunchboxes and tea breaks for generations, so finding it behind the little doors feels exactly right.

People in Canada go looking for this one because the countdown is half the memory. Expats want December to start the way it always did, and families with a British parent want their children to have the same small ritual they had.

It is a flat, light calendar, a countdown rather than a feast, and slim enough to prop on a shelf or slip into a parcel. Keep it somewhere cool and dry, well away from the radiator, until the first door is due.

It tends to go home with the rest of a British Christmas: a UK selection box for Christmas morning, a few stocking fillers, and a box of proper tea for Boxing Day, when the calendar is empty and somebody has to put the kettle on.

The story of Nestlé KitKat Advent Calendar

One door a day, allegedly

You open one door a day. That is the rule, and everyone knows somebody who broke it by the fourth of December. A KitKat advent calendar turns the countdown to a British Christmas into a small daily negotiation with yourself, and the KitKat behind each door is the same one you snapped in half at school, at work and on the bus home. For anyone spending Christmas in Canada with home a long way off, it is a familiar bit of December, one door at a time.

Read the full story

A wafer from York

KitKat began life in 1935 as Rowntree's 'Chocolate Crisp,' a four-finger wafer bar, and was renamed Kit Kat within a couple of years. Rowntree's goes back further still, to a cocoa and chocolate business Henry Isaac Rowntree bought in York in 1862. And the bar has not wandered far from home. Kit Kat is still produced at Nestlé's factory on Haxby Road in York, which is a nice thing to know when you are eating one a very long way from Yorkshire.

How the Swiss got involved

Henri Nestlé was a German-born pharmacist who settled in Vevey, Switzerland, and developed a powdered milk-based infant food, Farine Lactée, in 1867. The modern Nestlé company was formed in 1905, when his firm merged with the Anglo-Swiss Condensed Milk Company. Meanwhile, Rowntree's merged with Mackintosh's of Halifax, West Yorkshire, in 1969: the firm behind Quality Street. Nestlé bought Rowntree Mackintosh in 1988, and with it came Kit Kat, Quality Street, Smarties, Rolo and Aero.

Have a break, have a door

The 'Have a break, have a Kit Kat' slogan dates to the late 1950s, and most British people can finish it before you get to the second half. It suits December rather well. A calendar like this is a small break every morning on the way to Christmas Eve, and it makes a good Christmas gift for someone who misses home. Or for you, quietly, if last year's went missing by the twelfth.
