This is a brilliant Advent calendar which does everything I want. It’s easy to add or remove windows, and you can put photos, links, or text in them, making it very flexible. This is the first time I’ve ever paid to upgrade a plugin, and the features in the paid version, such as being able to have opened windows remain open as the days pass, are well worth having. It’s not just for Christmas either. There are themes for Easter, New Year, and you can set up your own custom themes for any time of year. This makes it brilliant for businesses who can promote their services while giving clients a fun reason to visit their website daily. I look forward to seeing this evolve over time, and to using it for many years to come 😃

What I Liked: Easy Setup: Installing the plugin was a breeze. Within minutes, I had the advent calendar up and running on my site. Scheduled Content: Setting up different content for each day was straightforward. I scheduled images, special offers, and holiday greetings to reveal on specific dates. Responsive Design: The calendar looked great on both desktop and mobile devices, ensuring all my visitors had a seamless experience.
