Long Shot - Advent Calendar from the 1990s

Inspired by the other thread on selection boxes, I try every year to google pictures of an advent calendar I had in the 90s and I can never find it! Wondering if anyone can recall the one I am talking about and/or can find a pic?

I'm 99% sure it was a Mars one although it could have been Milky Way. It was a scene of a Xmas village/houses covered in snow at the bottom and the rest (at least the whole top half) was a night sky with Santa and his sleigh in it.

I know my description is pretty generic but I've been so hoping to find an old picture of it for the nostalgia, I don't even know what it was about this one but its the only one I recall from my childhood and I'd love to get that Xmas nostalgia buzz from it! If I was to guess probably around 1992 - 1995.

Googling brings up a similar one but it wasn't this one, it was a more detailed village than this.

Anyone know what I'm on about?? 😄

Sounds familiar

Was it blue like the background rather than black ?

I had one similar and mum reused it for the next few years (we also had to share it but I got to open my birthday door 😂)

Sorry I didn't see these replies, not that one @whoisjoe but that is really sweet!

It could have been a dark blue sky @Chocolatesandroses yes - inky blue perhaps.

I'm really surprised google brings nothing up for me, I've searched all the years as well!

I’ve had a little look and can’t find anything. Bumping this thread in case anyone else can help.

Thank you! I think this one is destined to just be a nice nostalgic memory in my head though now… 😊
