Elevate Your Holiday Gifting with your personalized Chocolate Advent Calendars

Chocolate Advent Calendar by Max Chocolatier

Let's start with the classics. An advent calendar for the patient and not-so-patient among us. But this year, why not elevate the chocolate advent calendar experience and go for one that is really special? If you are a little bit of an artisan and like creating do-it-yourself projects, why not go for a custom-made calendar? A different treat from different chocolatiers every day. Count us in! But if you are running out of time and a little bit late to the party like us and you missed the incredible opportunity to pre-order the artisan and oh-so-incredibly delicious chocolate advent calendar from Max Chocolatier we have another idea for you - get the Box with 24 assorted winter truffles - a true delight for the holidays!

Festive Chocolate Gift Ideas to Make Your Holiday Shine

Glam Hazelnuts by La Flor

Some of us are happy with 24 smaller treats. For those moderate souls out there we have two pretty cool options. The Weihnachtsschoggi by Garçoa has exactly 24 pieces, one a day, so you can devote your time to really exploring those complex cocoa flavors provided by the best of cacao beans. And their Christmas chocolate is a special edition - we can enjoy the floral notes of delicious cardamom for a full-on Christmas experience.

Or if you love to glam it up, why not share a bag of glam hazelnuts, that's right, from La Flor? We see you La Flor, great name, great style, great flavor. Who could resist? Your Hacienda Limon Ecuador cacao and the Christmas cheer this glitter choc is bringing.

Hot Chocolate for Cozy Nights with Loved Ones

Taucherli Hot Chocolate

It totally is the season. The mood for hot chocolate has been present since we saw the first autumn leaves fall, but now that there are no leaves at all, a cup is a must. One cannot just simply not mention Taucherli here - the solid blocks of chocolate delight provide that warm and fuzzy feeling of Winter and Christmas with each sip. They have different options and our favorite one is the spiced one but milk and dark are also perfect and very much up to the task of Christmas cheering you up.

A Chocolate Tour: The Perfect Holiday Experience for Foodies

Zurich Chocolate Tour

One of the best ways to truly experience and learn about chocolate with your loved ones is to invite them to an awesome chocolate tour or chocolate tasting. A great option would be to visit a chocolate producer directly or join a tour like Detours Ethical Chocolate Tour for example. But for the perfect combination of Zurich’s old-town charm and the exploration of chocolate’s diverse styles and origins, join us on the Zurich Foodie Tour.

Did you know that 5% of our annual revenue is donated to Mosoala’s Friends? This organization is dedicated to sustainable farming and social projects in Madagascar.

We can’t wait to explore the world of chocolate with you!
