How to get the free Michaels advent calendar
- Check your local Michaels and its Black Friday hours before planning a trip.
- Beginning November 27, ask at checkout about the free Countdown to Craftsmas calendar.
- The announcement says no purchase is necessary. Availability is limited to the store’s allocation.
The public announcement does not give a separate exact opening time, a reservation option, a final distribution date or a per-person limit. Confirm local details with the store rather than assuming a calendar is held for you.
What is inside Countdown to Craftsmas?
The calendar has 25 doors for December 1–25. Michaels describes projects, tips, offers and store-event announcements, with QR codes linking to step-by-step tutorials.
Examples include friendship bracelets, Color Your Own mugs, cookie decorating, wooden ornament painting, holiday journaling and gift-tag ideas. The announcement does not promise 25 complete craft kits with every supply included; check each activity’s instructions before buying materials.
Some calendars contain prize doors
Michaels says one calendar in every Michaels store includes a $100 gift card, and one customer will win a $10,000 grand prize. Most calendars do not contain those prizes. Check the sponsor’s current claim terms for any prize door and keep the calendar if you receive one.
The free-calendar distribution is the offer described here. Michaels’ linked holiday challenge terms were not displaying during our check, so additional prize eligibility, claim deadlines and conditions have not been independently confirmed. Do not treat receiving a calendar as a guaranteed gift-card award.
Plan an inexpensive holiday craft routine
Save supplies you already own and review each project before shopping. Keep free activities separate from offers that require a purchase. A short family craft list can make the calendar easier to enjoy without turning every door into another order.
