A printable mystery Advent calendar for kids and families, written in British English: 24 days of detective puzzles that build one big Christmas mystery.

On the night of the first snowfall, the golden star vanished from the top of Snowberry's great Christmas tree. Twelve villagers are under suspicion, and only one of them took it. From 1 to 24 December, your detectives open one envelope a day, solve a new puzzle, collect a real clue and cross suspects off the Evidence Board. On Christmas Eve they name the thief, find the hiding place and unlock the final Reveal.
