Create your photo Advent calendar in 3 easy steps

At Cheerz, we believe Christmas magic should be simple and fun. No need to be a design pro—your photo Advent calendar comes to life in just three easy steps… and YOU are the artist! Here’s how 👇

Select your 24 photos and favourite memories

Time to dive into your albums (or phone gallery) and pick 24 moments that will light up each December morning. Family portraits, holiday laughs, baby’s first face, vacation memories, or even cat fails—anything goes, as long as it’s *you*.

Our tip: mix things up! Combine colors, moods, and surprises. Even the grumpiest morning person will smile when they see what’s behind today’s window!

Customize the design and messages

This isn’t just any calendar—it’s YOURS. Choose from our festive Christmas themes (classic, fun, kids, or modern styles), add a message, a date, or a secret note… In just a few clicks, you’ll create something deeply personal.

The Cheerz touch: some templates let you add a short note instead of a photo behind each window—perfect for daily doses of love, laughs, or encouragement! 🎅

Validate and let the magic begin!

And just like that, your photo Advent calendar is ready to print. Check your final preview (we know you’re a perfectionist), and then we take care of the rest—printing, cutting, packaging… and straight to your letterbox!

Pro tip: order early to enjoy the full countdown! And if you're the last-minute type, no worries—our fast delivery has your back!

Christmas often means gifts—but some are quickly forgotten, while others leave a lasting impression. The photo Advent calendar is more than just a tradition: it’s a daily dose of emotion, joy, and memories to relive and reinvent each morning in December.
