Colorado Avalanche Mascot Holiday Adventures Advent Calendar 2026

Let Bernie Join the Holiday Routine

The mascot is often the part of a hockey game everyone in the family recognises, including the person still learning the rules. The Colorado Avalanche Mascot Holiday Adventures Advent Calendar 2026 builds on that familiarity, putting Bernie at the centre of a Christmas countdown.

Inside are 24 printed acrylic ornaments with mascot-themed artwork. Each daily opening adds another small decoration, gradually bringing Avalanche colours into your holiday space. The emphasis is on the welcoming, playful side of supporting the team—the part that can be shared without explaining a line combination or a league table.

Why a Mascot Makes the Theme Personal

Bernie is the Colorado Avalanche’s St. Bernard mascot. On this calendar, that familiar character provides the link between hockey and the holiday scenes, giving the collection a consistent personality.

For a fan who remembers spotting Bernie at a game, the artwork can recall the experience around the hockey: arriving early, finding your seats and watching the crowd respond. For a family following from home, he can simply be a recognisable face in the team’s colours. Both are valid ways to connect with the design.

That makes this calendar a useful gift for someone who already has jerseys and caps but enjoys a different expression of their fandom. The choice says you noticed what they like about the Avalanche, rather than only remembering which team they support.

Make Opening a Door Part of the Evening

You could open the calendar before settling down for a broadcast or after dinner on nights without a game. One person opens the numbered door and another chooses where the ornament goes. It is an optional household routine, not a set of activities printed inside the box.

Over the course of December, the decorations can gather on a tabletop tree or a ribbon display near the television. Burgundy, blue and white keep the connection to Colorado clear, while the holiday scenes let the mascot fit naturally among existing Christmas decorations.

The display can be as modest as you like. A small cluster near a framed hockey photograph may be enough; you do not need an entire team-themed tree. Once the countdown ends, choose the pieces you want to keep out and put the others away for next Christmas.

The Set at a Glance

These are illustrated acrylic ornaments, not separate sculpted Bernie toys. Peel away the protective film before hanging and clean the pieces with a soft, dry cloth. Keep the paper box and the ornaments in a dry indoor setting.

Questions About the Bernie Countdown

How do the numbered doors work?

The usual advent routine is one opening each day from December 1 to December 24. The illustrations in our photos preview the full set rather than the order of the doors.

Does it work for someone who follows from outside Colorado?

Yes. The mascot and team theme can connect with home-viewing traditions just as much as with attending a game in person.

What will I need to hang the ornaments?

Each piece has a pierced tab. Thread small hooks or a ribbon through it to hang the ornaments on a tree or garland.

Can the ornaments be used again?

The acrylic decorations can be stored and brought out for future holidays. Protect their surfaces and tabs during storage, and do not expect the opened paper box to become a sealed countdown again.
