About Fairtrade

All our chocolate is Fairtrade. This means our farmers receive a fair price for their sugar and cocoa and an extra Fairtrade Premium cash payment which they can use to invest in their community, buying everything from schoolbooks to solar panels and providing fresh water supplies.

Sourcing details

Meaningful Chocolate's sugar comes from cooperatives in Paraguay and Belize. Most of the cocoa from cooperatives in the Ivory Coast (Kuapa Kokoo Co-operative Cocoa Farmers and Marketing Union Limited Ghana). Beans are also sourced from cooperatives in the Dominican Republic, Peru, Panama and Ecuador. The chocolate for the eggs is then blended using a Belgian recipe.

The Real Advent Calendar is the UK’s only Fairtrade Advent calendar which comes with a free 24 page Christmas story-activity book and supports charitable causes.

The 2025 Real Advent Calendar is a fun way for parents, grandparents and Godparents to share the Christmas story. The 2025 calendar has a new design. There is a Fairtrade Chocolate and a line of the Christmas story behind each of the 25 windows. The free book has a page for every day of Advent, expanding on the Christmas story and includes some fun challenges.

In addition, the support of a children’s hospital from sales, a National Schools and Youth Group competition and the free online all-age worship material make The Real Advent Calendar a great resource.

No other calendar enables parents and children to experience the Christmas story for 24 days, and be challenged to do some good in the season.

The Real Advent Calendar is designed to share and celebrate the true meaning of Christmas so that Christ is not written out of Christmas.

    It's good to have an advent calendar that tells the true story of Christmas. The chocolate is really good and no palm oil. I've managed to sell 72 at my church. I was surprised at how few had known about this special calendar. I'll definitely be ordering 2026 Callanders.👍

    A good story with chocolate. What more could a child want? The Nativity beautifully retold with the excitement of opening a window each day. Lovely.

    I have been buying The Real Advent Calendar for a few years' now. As a Christian, I try to buy an Advent Calendar that represents the true meaning of Christmas. I used to be able to purchase them from my local supermarket but sadly, like many supermarket chains now, they no longer stock them; so pleased Eden.co.uk does. I would thoroughly recommend this Advent Calendar to all, as to me the Nativity is what Christmas is all about.
