PEOPLE can enjoy mistletoe and swine with a pork scratchings advent calendar this Christmas.
The £15 Snaffling Pig Pork Crackling calendar has flavours including black pepper, maple, pigs in blankets, salt and vinegar and BBQ.
Boots tells customers: “Advent calendars are great. But if you’re more of a savoury loving swine, they’ve tended to be a piggin’ let down. The Snaffling Pig decided to right that wrong because he’s good like that.
“The result is this bad boy — which is a whopping A3 sized.”
It is among several bizarre calendars offering more than just chocolate behind each day’s window this year in high street and online stores.
Cheese firm Ilchester’s £16.49 item on Amazon features 24 of its individually wrapped dairy products. They include applewood and Wensleydale with cranberries.
The firm boasts that it’s the world’s first and only cheese-based advent calendar.
And adult firm Sinful’s 12 Lays of Christmas has 24 best- seller sex and bondage products worth £270 — but the calendar costs just £89.
The company said: “It is perfect if you want to fill your holiday season with surprises.”
It comes with an inspiration booklet offering guidance and expert tips for using its items.
