Lindt Teddy Advent Calendar Review: Better Chocolate?
Mini Lindt bears and Lindor balls, each in festive foil, plus a daily story you open with a QR code. The classic chocolate calendar from a brand people trust.
Yes, for a family that wants a classic chocolate calendar that actually tastes like good chocolate. It mixes Lindt bears with Lindor minis and adds a short daily story on a phone [1]. Skip it if the box will sit somewhere warm, because chocolate melts near a radiator.

Pros and cons
- Small total amount of chocolate [1]
- Contains milk, not for every diet
- Melts if stored somewhere warm
Bears, balls and Neapolitans
The mix is the point. Behind the doors are Lindt mini bears, Lindor mini balls and Neapolitans in milk, double milk and hazelnut versions [1].
Each piece is wrapped in festive foil, which keeps it fresh and makes it easy to share [1]. The total is 4.5 oz, a small treat a day rather than a sugar load [1].
The story behind the QR code
Lindt adds a QR code that unlocks an augmented reality countdown story, with a new episode each day from December 1 to December 24 [1].
It is a small extra, but kids who already get chocolate from every calendar notice it. It also gives a parent a reason to sit for a minute each morning.
The story is optional, which is the right design. Families who want a phone-free breakfast can ignore the code and still get the chocolate.
Warm rooms and small portions
Chocolate is chocolate. Keep the box away from radiators, sunny windows and the top of the fridge, or the doors fill with melted foil.
The portions are small, and anyone hoping for a big bar each day will be let down. That is the trade for a low price and a quality brand.
An easy gift for many people
At this price, it is the calendar you can buy for several people: a teacher, a neighbor, a coworker, a grandparent.
From the same guide, it pairs with the Melissa & Doug Countdown to Christmas Wooden Advent Calendar for kids who still want a treat, or with the Bonne Maman Advent Calendar for an adult who prefers breakfast to candy.
For a family with a teen and a younger kid, one Lindt box each avoids the morning argument over who opens the door.
FAQ
What chocolate is in the Lindt Teddy advent calendar?
The listing names Lindt mini milk chocolate bears, double milk bear friends, Lindor mini milk chocolate balls, mini hazelnut and double milk balls, and Lindt mini milk chocolate Neapolitans [1]. So the doors change from day to day rather than repeating one shape [1]
What is the QR code on the Lindt advent calendar?
It unlocks an augmented reality holiday story on a phone, with a new episode each day from December 1 through December 24 [1]. It is a small daily extra for kids, and you can skip it entirely if you prefer a phone-free morning [1]
Is the Lindt advent calendar a good gift for adults?
Yes, for adults who like milk chocolate. It is cheap enough for coworkers or neighbors, and the brand reads as a step up from drugstore calendars. For an adult who avoids sugar, the gift guide has tools, makeup and jam calendars instead [1]
