It’s the start of December, which means it’s the run up to Christmas yay, and there is no better way of counting down the days then an advent calendar. Chocolate advent calendars are a thing of the past; it’s all about the online advent calendars and Christmas competitions now and there are plenty of them.
With online advent calendars, there are chances of winning prizes, holidays, cash and bonuses. There are so many advent competitions out now, so I won’t list them all, but I will be listing my favourite ones that I participate in myself and are worth checking out. I would advice to check emails too because a lot of companies will be sending out emails about their own advent competitions.
For a full list of Online Advent Competitions, check out Loquax, The Prize Finder, Simply Prizes or Money Saving Expert. I also found a useful page on tips for advent calendars. Hopefully you can use the online advent competitions to help fund your Christmas shopping this year. Best of luck.

Simply Prizes
Simply Prizes is an online and magazine competition subscription. Last year, they had a list of over 1000 advent competitions, which is a staggering amount and they aim to bet it this year. They also have a handy tool that allows you to tick off the completed competitions or add them to favourites. You can create a free account to access all the advent competitions, but to access all the non-advent competitions, you must subscribe to their service. I have subscribed with them quite a few times over the years and they provide an impressive amount of competitions to take part in, so it’s well worth giving them a risk-free try.
