The Most Whopper-ful Time of the Year

Halloween hasn't even happened yet, and for some people, that means that it's already time to start planning Christmas. Take Burger King, for example, who just announced that very soon it will be releasing its first-ever advent calendar.

Where Can You Buy an Advent Calendar?

In order to get your hands on one of these calendars, you'll need to text "ADVENT" to 251-251. Then, Burger King will let you know how to grab one when they come out on Nov. 22.

How Many Days is the Calendar?

Unlike your typical advent calendar, this one seems to be loaded with only 12 slots. These prizes better be good, Burger King.

What Can You Expect Inside the Calendar?

Burger King claims the retail value of all the items inside is over $100, so the $20 price tag is nice. Though Burger King won't reveal exactly what's inside (who would buy it without some mystery?), the chain has dropped some hints about it, including "nods to favorite items like Chicken Fries and the Whopper." And as with everything these days, you can expect a heavy dose of nostalgia; good to see you, Burger King Kids Club.
