Like in America kids in Germany do get Advent calendars with the most popular ones containing chocolate. Other popular ones have toys, candy, little notes or parts of a story, and I have seen one that was an Advent calendar with different types of tea each day.
This is a picture of the Advent calendar that I got, which contained chocolate!
Another German custom is Advent wreaths, which are normally hand made by a family member. Advent wreaths are made of evergreen leaves and have four candles, signifying the 4 sundays before Christmas. Even thought the one my host family and I made is not a wreath, it still held the same purpose .
