Thanks for joining our 2021 Mini Nordic Sweaters Advent Calendar. We are so happy that you are here!
Every day until December 24th, we will post a new video to reveal the tiny secrets inside each Mini Sweater and a new Christmas ball design. Every Sunday of Advent, we will, in addition to the calendar, bake the seven cookies that we need to get “in the box” before Christmas.
We thought we’d compile everything you need to know about our activities in December in one blog post:
Airing times:
On December 1st, our daily podcast and Advent calendar “24 Mini Nordic Sweaters – Christmas Countdown” will premiere on our YouTube channel.
We will publish new episodes of our Christmas Countdown every day at 6:00 pm in Central Europe / noon Eastern / 11:00 am Central / 9:00 am Pacific. The final episode is scheduled for December 24th.
On Sundays (December 5th, 12th and 19th), we have a double treat for you, as we will be baking all seven Christmas cookies that we need to get ready before Christmas, so make sure to join us on our preparations for Christmas.
None of the episodes is live, and once they are published, you will be able to access them any time you like.
Advent Calendar and KAL:
We will reveal the secrets inside our mini Nordic Jumpers and new Christmas ball daily at the end of our daily podcast until December 24th
If you wish to participate in the KAL and knit the balls or sweaters together with us you will need to purchase the Mini Nordic Sweaters Advent Calendar or the New patterns for 24 new Christmas balls 2021. You may buy our calendars in our webshop or by clicking on the images below.
