Kraft Natural Cheese is giving fans a new reason to smile this season with the debut of its first-ever Holiday Advent Calendar — a whimsical, cheese-inspired countdown designed to bring families together in the kitchen.

Standing over a foot tall and featuring 12 pull-out drawers, the Kraft Natural Cheese Holiday Advent Calendar is a festive showpiece. Wrapped in the brand’s iconic Blue House motif, each drawer reveals a thoughtfully curated surprise that celebrates the warmth, laughter and little rituals that make cooking and sharing meals so special — from kitchen keepsakes to digital recipes and content accessible via QR codes. With a retail value of $250, visit www.kraftnaturalcheese.com/kraft-natural-cheese-advent-calendar to learn how to snag one for yourself.

But the celebration doesn’t stop there — Kraft Natural Cheese will also bring the Advent Calendar to life with a festive immersive pop-up experience at Chicago’s iconic Christkindlmarket from December 10–13. Visitors can step inside a life-size version of the calendar, enjoy delicious cheese samples, and win special prizes including the Kraft Natural Cheese Holiday Advent Calendar — all while celebrating one of the city’s most beloved holiday traditions.

“The holiday season is about bringing family and friends together through unique celebrations, traditions and meals, and we’re thrilled to join in on the festivities this year with our new Holiday Advent Calendar,” said Ken Padgett, Marketing Director at Lactalis Heritage Dairy, a division of Lactalis USA. “Whether it’s gifted or enjoyed at home, our hope is that it spreads a bit of holiday cheer — and for those in Chicago, we can’t wait to celebrate with you at Christkindlmarket.”
