Craft Buddy has launched its first Disney Crystal Art Magnetic Advent Calendar.

Inside each of the 24 compartments is a 6cm Crystal Art surprise magnet featuring Disney characters, ranging from Mickey Mouse and Elsa to Buzz Lightyear and Woody. Each comes in a festive design to be crafted and decorated with gems. Once completed, they can be added to the magnetic calendar.

The advent calendar kit includes a 32 x 45cm festive tree-shaped magnetic display stand and frame to showcase the characters once they’ve been transformed into Crystal Art.

“This is a major innovation for both Craft Buddy and Disney,” said Gary Wadhwani, Director at Craft Buddy.

“The calendar uplifts the advent tradition by giving consumers something meaningful to make and keep, whilst offering new seasonal sales opportunities for retailers. We expect it to become a long-term hero line as part of our annual festive range.”

The Disney Crystal Art Magnetic Advent Calendar is available now.
