The Advent Calendar is a seasonal daily found in the Happy Valley. It is only available during the Month of Celebrating - December. Each day of the month, users can retrieve a specific prize, which may include holiday-themed items, Neopoints, avatars or site themes. The prizes awarded are usually the same for all visitors, although occasional variation from this trend has occurred in the past.
Each day is accompanied by a Flash animation, around which offered prizes are often themed. On the 1st day of the Month of Celebrating in Years 6 and 7, users obtained 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.

Trivia
- 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 snow as a theme. When users tried to collect a prize, 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 the 18th December 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.
- 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.
