Advent Calendar Calories 2026: 10 Chocolate Calendars Ranked (Lindt, Cadbury and More)

A chocolate advent calendar door is 11 to 66 calories, by the brands' own nutrition labels. The classic Cadbury 90g calendar is about 20 calories a door (83 kJ), a Lindt LINDOR door is about 27, and the big Cadbury Santa's Workshop is about 66. A whole calendar ranges from 258 to 1,577 calories across 24 days.

Short version: it's one door a day, enjoy it. Most doors are smaller than a single fun size Snickers (80 calories, from our Halloween candy calories chart). This post just tells you the number so you never have to guess.

How many calories are in a chocolate advent calendar?

Here is every calendar we could verify, ranked from the lightest whole box to the heaviest. Australian labels list energy in kilojoules, so both are shown (kcal = kJ divided by 4.184).

Calendar	Where it's sold	Whole calendar	Per door	Sugar per door
Park Avenue kids calendars (Moana, Minions, Avengers), 50g	AU (Woolworths)	258 cal (1,080 kJ)	11 cal (45 kJ)	1.2g
Cadbury Christmas Advent Calendar, 90g	AU	476 cal (1,992 kJ)	20 cal (83 kJ)	2.1g
Lindt LINDOR Advent Calendar, 109g	AU	660 cal (2,760 kJ)	27 cal (115 kJ)	2.0g
Lindt TEDDY Bear Advent Calendar, 4.5 oz	US	about 720 cal	about 30 cal	about 2.8g
Lindt TEDDY Advent Calendar, 170g	AU	987 cal (4,131 kJ)	41 cal (172 kJ)	3.5g
Lindt Sweater TEDDY Advent Calendar, 7.2 oz	US	about 1,120 cal	about 47 cal	about 4.1g
Cadbury Heroes Advent Calendar, 230g	UK	1,187 cal	49 cal	5.1g
Cadbury Dairy Milk Lotus Biscoff Chunk Advent Calendar, 236g	UK	1,277 cal	53 cal	5.2g
Lindt TEDDY Sleigh Advent Calendar, 9.3 oz	US	about 1,440 cal	about 60 cal	about 5.3g
Cadbury Santa's Workshop 3D Advent Calendar, 312g	AU	1,577 cal (6,600 kJ)	66 cal (275 kJ)	7.5g

How we got these numbers:

• Australian calendars print a per-door serving, so the whole calendar is that serving times 24. The Lindt TEDDY 170g label uses 18 servings of 9.5g, so we used its per-100g figure times 170g and split it across its 24 days.
• US Lindt calendars list "about" a number of servings, so the totals are servings times calories per serving, and they carry the "about" too.
• UK Cadbury calendars publish per-100g values only, so the total is per-100g times the net weight.
• Where a brand page does not state the door count, the per-door number is the whole calendar spread across 24 days of December.

Which advent calendar has the fewest calories per door?

The kids' calendars win: a Park Avenue door is a 2.08g chocolate at 45 kJ, or about 11 calories. Next lightest is the classic Cadbury 90g calendar at 20 calories (83 kJ) a door, then Lindt LINDOR at 27 (115 kJ).

The heaviest door is the Cadbury Santa's Workshop at 66 calories (275 kJ), because each window holds a 13g wrapped chocolate rather than a small flat shape. That is still less than one fun size Snickers.

So the whole spread, lightest door to heaviest, is about 55 calories. Pick the calendar you'll actually look forward to opening.

Lindt advent calendar calories

Lindt is the most searched brand, and it makes the widest range, so here it is in one place:

Lindt calendar	Whole calendar	Per door	Label serving
LINDOR Advent Calendar 109g (AU)	660 cal (2,760 kJ)	27 cal (115 kJ)	1 truffle, 4.5g
TEDDY Bear Advent Calendar 4.5 oz (US)	about 720 cal	about 30 cal	5 pieces, 180 cal
TEDDY Advent Calendar 170g (AU)	987 cal (4,131 kJ)	41 cal (172 kJ)	9.5g, 230 kJ
Sweater TEDDY Advent Calendar 7.2 oz (US)	about 1,120 cal	about 47 cal	4 pieces, 160 cal
TEDDY Sleigh Advent Calendar 9.3 oz (US)	about 1,440 cal	about 60 cal	3 pieces (32g), 180 cal

A LINDOR mini truffle is the lightest Lindt door at 27 calories. The TEDDY calendars get heavier as the box gets bigger, because the extra weight is extra chocolate, not extra doors. The Sleigh holds about twice the chocolate of the 4.5 oz TEDDY, still across one December.

Cadbury advent calendar calories

Cadbury calendar	Whole calendar	Per door	Sugar per door
Christmas Advent Calendar 90g (AU)	476 cal (1,992 kJ)	20 cal (83 kJ)	2.1g
Heroes Advent Calendar 230g (UK)	1,187 cal	49 cal	5.1g
Dairy Milk Lotus Biscoff Chunk 236g (UK)	1,277 cal	53 cal	5.2g
Santa's Workshop 3D Advent Calendar 312g (AU)	1,577 cal (6,600 kJ)	66 cal (275 kJ)	7.5g

The Cadbury 90g is the classic flat calendar most of us grew up with, and each door is a 3.7g milk chocolate shape. Santa's Workshop is more than three times the chocolate, and you can taste the difference.

If you came here for the Biscoff calendar: that's the Cadbury Dairy Milk with Lotus Biscoff chunk calendar, at 541 calories per 100g on Cadbury's label, or about 53 calories a day.

What does a whole advent calendar add up to?

Spread over 24 days, the numbers stay small. Here is what each calendar averages out to per day, next to things you already know:

• 11 to 20 calories a day (Park Avenue, Cadbury 90g): about a quarter of a fun size Snickers, or less.
• 27 to 47 calories a day (most Lindt calendars): a third to just over half of a fun size Snickers.
• 49 to 66 calories a day (Heroes, Biscoff, Sleigh, Santa's Workshop): a bit under one fun size Snickers.

Even the biggest calendar here is 1,577 calories across 24 days. For context, our Christmas dinner calories guide puts a classic Christmas dinner plate at about 1,582 calories, roughly the same as that entire calendar, eaten in one evening. The calendar is not where December goes sideways.

What if you eat a few doors at once?

It happens. Somebody misses Monday through Wednesday, then opens four on Thursday. Here's what that looks like on the labels:

Catch-up day	Calories
4 Cadbury 90g doors	79 (332 kJ)
4 Lindt LINDOR doors	110 (460 kJ)
4 Lindt TEDDY 170g doors	164 (688 kJ)
4 Cadbury Santa's Workshop doors	263 (1,100 kJ)

Four LINDOR truffles at once is 110 calories, the same as one snack size Reese's cup on its label. No drama needed.

And if the whole calendar gets demolished on December 2? That's a story for the family group chat, not a crisis. One day is one day. Our overate calculator shows how small a single big day looks across a week, and how to not gain weight during the holidays covers the season as a whole.

Advent calendars we left out (and why)

We only used numbers from the brand's own product page or a retailer page reproducing the official nutrition panel. These popular calendars did not have one we could verify on October 25, 2026, so they are not in the ranking:

• Kinder (US and AU): Kinder's site lists what's inside, like Bueno minis, Schoko-Bons and mini eggs, but no nutrition panel, and the Walmart listing did not show one either.
• M&M'S Candy Advent Calendar (US): the brand page lists 9.95 oz and 24 servings but no calorie panel.
• Reese's, Maltesers, Galaxy: no official panel found on a brand or approved retailer page.
• Lindt TEDDY Advent Calendar 6.3 oz (US): its panel matched the 4.5 oz calendar word for word, so we could not trust it for the bigger box.
• Lindt Canada calendars: the pages list ingredients but not a nutrition panel.
• Coles listings could not be loaded, so AU numbers come from Cadbury, Lindt Australia and Woolworths.

If you have one of these, the panel is on the back of the box. Grams per serving times calories per gram gets you there, or just tell Nouri which calendar it is.

How to track an advent calendar door in Nouri

An advent calendar is the easiest thing in December to track, because you know exactly what you ate. When I used MyFitnessPal, the numbers were fine. The problem was that a normal dinner took several minutes to add, so on busy days I skipped it. A single chocolate should not need a search bar.

In Nouri you just type it: "one Lindor truffle from my advent calendar." Calories and macros come back right away, with the reasoning shown for each item, so you can see it counted one mini truffle. If it was two because you forgot yesterday, add "two" and it recalculates.

There are four equal ways to get there: type it, say it, snap a photo, or ask Siri. A photo of the open door works too. Nouri turns the picture into a sentence first, so you can fix "milk chocolate star" to "Lindt TEDDY" before anything is counted. Morning rush with the kids? From the lock screen, "Hey Siri, track food in Nouri" and one sentence does it, and the card shows what's left for the day. It's the best Siri tracking of any calorie tracking app for exactly that reason. Nouri is iPhone (iOS only), and you can try it free. For more on choosing a method, see text vs voice vs photo calorie tracking.

Should you count advent calendar calories at all?

Only if it's useful to you. For most people the honest answer is: one door a day is small enough to enjoy without a second thought. Counting it is less about the chocolate and more about seeing your real December, so the number on Sunday makes sense.

That's where a weekly view helps. The Nouri Report arrives Sunday evening when you've tracked 4 or more days. It sets your average calories and macros against your targets and gives you one clear focus for the week ahead. A 20-calorie door barely shows up there. The office party might. Most calorie apps give you numbers. Nouri gives you answers.

If you are working toward a goal through the holidays, the goal weight date calculator shows how the math works with a small, kind deficit. And if food and numbers have ever felt stressful, please skip the counting and lean on a doctor or registered dietitian instead. The chocolate is supposed to be fun.

What is the easiest way to track advent calendar calories?

Type or say the door the way you'd tell a friend, like "one Lindor from my advent calendar," and Nouri returns the calories and macros right away with the reasoning shown. Then let the Sunday Nouri Report show your whole December week, not just one chocolate.

Open the door, eat the chocolate, and move on with your morning. If you want the number, track it in Nouri in one line. For the rest of the season, see Christmas dinner calories, how to not gain weight during the holidays, and, for the leftover Halloween bowl, Halloween candy calories.
