Selfcare Advent Calendar 2025: Time for You!
Selfcare Advent Calendar – 24 Days of Mindfulness and Self-Love for a Calm Christmas
Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year – and often also the most stressful. Between the gift hunt, baking cookies and end-of-year hustle, we easily forget the most important thing: ourselves.
That’s why this year we’re giving you something truly special – your very own Selfcare Advent Calendar.
24 small ideas, rituals and affirmations that remind you every single day during the holiday season that you deserve just as much love and attention as everyone else.
Why a Selfcare Advent Calendar in 2025?
A Selfcare Advent Calendar is more than just a daily surprise – it’s an invitation and inspiration to pause.
Instead of a calendar filled with chocolate or beauty products, this one is all about mindfulness, calm and self-love.
Each little door gives you a moment to recharge and focus on what truly matters – for a conscious, stress-free Advent season.
24 Selfcare Ideas for Your Holiday Season
1. Write yourself a love letter
Note down what you love about yourself, what makes you unique. Read it on Christmas Eve – you’ll be surprised how many beautiful things there are about you.

Turn off your phone for one evening and enjoy silence, a book, a good talk or some music.
3. Morning routine with tea
Start your day with intention: enjoy your tea or coffee without distractions – just you and your breath.
4. Affirmation of the day
Say out loud: “I deserve rest and joy.” The more you repeat it, the more you’ll feel it. Say it in the mirror or whisper it to yourself – either way works.
