The Sweet Story Behind the Advent Calendar

The Advent calendar is one of the sweetest traditions of the festive season — a countdown filled with joy, discovery, and delicious anticipation.

From 19th-century Germany to homes across Britain today, each little window hides a daily moment of magic.

At Leonidas, that magic tastes of pure Belgian chocolate — made with 100% cocoa butter, free from palm oil, and crafted to bring delight one day at a time.

Celebrate the countdown to Christmas with a calendar filled with surprises, flavour, and the timeless joy of waiting for something wonderful.

The Story of St Nicholas — and Why He Loves Chocolate

Did you know that Santa Claus began as St Nicholas — a kind bishop from the 3rd century whose secret gifts inspired centuries of festive magic? Across Europe, children still celebrate St Nicholas Day on 6 December, waking to discover shoes filled with sweets and chocolate coins.

Though the tradition is little known in the UK, its message of generosity feels timeless — especially when paired with Leonidas Belgian chocolates, crafted with pure cocoa butter and no palm oil.

This December, revive a beautiful custom: fill a shoe, share a story, and savour a moment of sweetness that honours the true spirit of giving.
