What is a Christmas Calendar?

Also called an Advent calendar, this calendar counts the days of Advent in anticipation of Christmas. The Advent Calendar first appeared in Germany at the end of the 19th century. The word “advent” is derived from the Latin word for “arrival” — adventus. Although blockchains tend towards agnosticism, everyone, no matter the religion or creed, can partake in the countdown to Christmas-particularly if there’s chocolate involved.

Mintbase’s Virtual Advent Calendar

Thanks to capitalism, retailers around the world have harkened upon this opportunity to sell Christmas calendars around virtually every theme. There are 24 days of stationery sets, 24 days of Lego Star Wars, 24 days of Icelandic Gin, 24 days of Marshmallows, and outrageously priced Luxury Jewelry Calendars.

If you don’t happen to have USD 136,526 laying around for a box of jewelry, check out Mintbase’s NFT Christmas Calendar. It’s free to enter, free to play, and offers the chance to win some unique NFTs.

Prizes Up For Grabs

Mintbase’s Christmas NFTs are linked to a real-life Christmas gift. For example, Gnosis offered a one-month membership to the Full Node coworking space in Berlin, and Nonce offered a two-week pass to their coworking community in Seoul, Korea.

Unwanted NFTs can be sold on NFT exchange OpenSea. If you’re too slow to get the main prize (like I was), Mintbase sometimes has a collection of free mints for the slowpokes.
