| The '''Advent Calendar''' is a seasonal [[daily]] found in [[Happy Valley]], which is only available during the Month of Celebrating (December). From it, users can receive [[Neopoint]]s, [[Item]]s related to the holiday season, and sometimes [[Avatar]]s. Everyday users get different items and different amounts of Neopoints, and sometimes don't always get the same items as other [[Neopian]]s. There is also a quality neopets animation to go with each day. On the 1st day of the Month of Celebrating in Years 6 and 7, users also got the ''Plastic Fir'' avatar, as well as the items and neopoints. It is likely that the avatar will once again be obtainable every year year.

| | *On July 6, 2006, the Advent Calender featured an animation showing a [[Tuskininny]], [[Kiko]], and [[Wocky]] getting ready for a summer outing, only to find [[Neopia]] in a blizzard warning and the [[New Features]] page for that day featured a snow theme. When users tried to collect a their, a message saying "ERROR : But its not the month of Celebrating!" appeared. The Calendar did work on the following day and gave out 1000np plus two summer items (sand set and trunks). |
| | *On December 18, 2006, a bug occurred when one of the items, a [[plushie]], was received by many as a 'replace', a non-existent bug item. Some people never got this item, with others it appeared in their safety deposit box, and with some they appeared to win the intended item but received the replace instead. Some people could see it via [[Premium]]'s portal, and discovered it to be a rarity 101 item, in the 'Clothes' category, weighing 1 lb and valued at 0 [[NP]]. |
| | *On December 6, 2012 one of the prizes was the [[NC Mall|Neocash]] item ''Real Negg Faerie Wings''. Since TNT felt it was too similar to another pair of wings given out during that year's Negg Festival, it was replaced by the ''Homemade Lavender Faerie Wings'' on December 12. |

| * On July 6, 2006, the Advent Calender featured an animation showing a [[Tuskininny]], [[Kiko]], and [[Wocky]] getting ready for a summer outing, only to find [[Neopia]] in a blizzard warning ([[New Features]] page was featuring everything snow/winter related). When users tried to collect a prize, a message saying "ERROR : But its not the month of Celebrating!" appeared. | | *Traditionally, every year, a Rod of Supernova is available as one of the prizes, but is inevitably stolen by the [[Pant Devil]] before the user can take it. However, in 2008 it was a toy supernova. |
| * The Calendar did work on July 7th and gave out 1000np plus two summer items (sand set and trunks).
| | *The most prizes awarded on a single day is (4), awarded on 21 December 2010, and again on 9 December 2011. |
| | *In 2009 the Advent Calendar was a part of the [[Winter Wonderfest]]. In 2010, 2011 and 2012 it was a part of the [[Winter Starlight Celebration]]. |
