With Cadbury launching their biggest ever advent calendar, Cadbury would like to know which moment over the festive period your DCs are most excited about.

Here's what they say "This year we’re launching Cadbury’s biggest ever advent calendar and setting out to bring even more joy to the countdown this Christmas. 24 trucks, 24 doors, opening daily in 24 different locations, we’re ringing joyful festive surprises to the nation on the countdown to Christmas. While we’re counting down, we’re also keen to hear from Mumsnetters about which festive moment your kids can't wait for"

Find out about the Cadbury advent calendar by watching the video below:

So which festive moment are your DCs most excited about? You might be thrilled at the prospect of some time relaxing at home with your family, but if you asked your children - what would their response be? Perhaps they're dying to decorate the Christmas tree? Or take centre stage at their school nativity play? We're looking for the moments and treats that make Christmas for them, alongside the thrillingness of ripping wrapping off (lots of) presents.

Whichever festive moment your DCs can't wait for, Cadbury would love to hear about it.

Everyone who posts a comment will be entered into a prize draw where one lucky MNer will win a £200 Love2Shop voucher.

Thanks and good luck,
MNHQ

Scattering out the reindeer food on Christmas Eve. Bit of a strange one but they love it! I think it's because it's glittery.

Waking up Christmas morning & opening their stockings!!

LeeR1985 · 06/12/2015 18:40

My daughter is looking forward to opening presents more than anything :)

Christmas Eve is special in our house, the anticipation is amazing, especially when DD wakes up Christmas morning and see's that Santa has drunk his beer and the reindeer have left teeth marks in the carrots :)

Every member of my family make a Christmas tree decoration with Fimo each year and I pack them away in tissue paper in a beautiful tin and my children love to unpack them and hang them on the tree on Christmas eve.

Stockings are their favourite thing, we all have them and we all love them

The kids cannot wait for Christmas eve as we are all getting new jammies and cosy socks and will be watching Pixels with tasty nibbles/drinks with no phones/computers allowed much to the teenagers disgust!

Cailin7 · 06/12/2015 18:58

Every bit of christmas! But probably the food

There's lots.it starts with December 1st, with the opening of his first door on the advent calendar. Then there's the putting up of the decorations. The. christingle. Then the end of school. Then the wrapping of presents and writing of cards. Then there's the annual pre Christmas parties. This is all before the day itself. By then we are exhausted from all the excitement!

My son loves the whole build up to Christmas Day but the best is opening the stocking on Christmas morning.

Santa coming to visit and leaving presents for them is driving them crazy with excitement.

pgwynne · 06/12/2015 19:29

We so enjoy putting up the tree with my two children. They love helping put decorations on the tree as well as the chocolates. My children always look forward to opening advent calendars. My son's birthday is 4 days before Christmas so we always have to things to look forward to.

spottypjs · 06/12/2015 19:48

Going out and getting the tree and then putting all the decorations up! Oh and in our town when santa comes round on his truck.
