You’ll receive a surprise addition packed with every order you place at HolyHeroes.com from NOW until–well, until we run out!
What’s the surprise? Our Advent & Christmas Seasons Fridge Calendar — now with 48 companion stickers! Yay (kids love stickers)!
The calendar has BIG spaces to write down all the busy stuff that occurs this time of year, and you can hang it on your fridge so you don’t forget anything.
One side is the Advent Season, then, flip it to get the Christmas Season! We Catholics celebrate waaay more than 12 Days of Christmas!
The stickers are to help you count down the days of Advent and then continue to count days throughout the Christmas Season!
And we made them specifically to remind you of the feast days, the saints, or the Gospel Readings from Mass each day in Advent & Christmas–in other words, all the things that the Church wants you to focus on during those seasons!
You got it: we’ve made this into a real Catholic Advent calendar (with no candy because…well, it’s Advent!).
And we did another thing, too, which we hope helps your children learn to “think like the Church”: Each sticker has a colored border that corresponds to the liturgical color for the day.
You’ll notice some days have borders that are half one color and half another.
Why is that? Because those are days which have an optional memorial which your parish may or may not choose to celebrate in the Mass. So a parish may stick with the color for the season or celebrate the option with the appropriate color.
Below is the list of which stickers go on which days and an explanation for the sticker images. Just click the button to print out the explanation to post with your calendar. Enjoy!
Reminder: The stickers are to be used 1-sticker-per-day starting with the upper left-hand sticker then going across like you would read a book. Go left-to-right across a row, then when that row is completed, go down to the next row and start on the left-hand side again.
One sticker per day, except on one special day, noted below.
Er, kids, one more thing that is really important: don’t put the sticker on until the day is DONE so you don’t cover up the appointments, notes, and reminders which Mom wrote on the calendar…
Don’t forget our other Advent resources (including Jesse Tree videos, coloring books, and more).
We hope you enjoy using your stickers through Advent and Christmas!

When I click on “sticker explanation print out” it doesn’t actually link to that. Is the link broken or is it
My poor internet connection? Thanks.
It looks like it’s working on our end! Here is a link to the printable: https://blog.holyheroes.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/2022_Blog_AdventChristmas-StickerExplanation_download-1.pdf
thank you, thank you for this clear and funny explanation. I was worried about messing it up as well as being able to explain the ‘why’ of each sticker but not any longer! You are the best!!
