Styled after a bound Salem grimoire, the Hocus Pocus Christmas Chaos Advent Calendar brings the mischievous 1693 witch lore of Winifred, Sarah, and Mary Sanderson into December living spaces. The vertical rigid paperboard exterior is finished in deep royal plum-purple and midnight violet with burnished antique gold corner scrollwork, holly berry accents, and faux gilded book-page ridges along the right side. Along the left book-spine panel, six gold-bordered compartments display a witch hat, a single lit candle, a black cat portrait, a pentagram, a hanging holiday bauble, and twin glowing candles beneath the HOCUS POCUS title.
Grimoire Cover Art and the Sanderson Sisters’ Holiday Spell
On the front cover beneath the witch-hat crest and crimson ribbon banner reading WE PUT A SPELL ON CHRISTMAS… OOPS!, red-haired Winifred Sanderson in emerald robes, blonde Sarah Sanderson in a Santa-trimmed red cape holding a green gift box, and dark-haired Mary Sanderson in a red cape cast swirling amber-gold magic around the wide-eyed screaming brown leather Manual of Witchcraft and Alchemy (“Book”). Beside the holly-trimmed Spellbook, immortal black cat Thackery Binx wears a red bow tie among wrapped presents above a red-ribboned gold parchment plaque inscribed EMILY—honoring Binx’s younger sister from Salem lore—and the bottom plaque reading 24 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS CHAOS.

Opening the 24 daily compartments reveals 24 dimensional relief character and cottage ornaments fitted with top metal loops and braided gold hanging cords:
- Sarah Sanderson on the Crescent Moon: Dressed in a burgundy gown and laced boots, Sarah lounges on a gold filigree crescent moon over starry purple clouds with black cat Binx perched behind her.
- The Salem Cottage Doorway: Winifred, Mary, and Sarah huddle inside a timbered cottage doorway decorated with pine garlands and warm lanterns.
- Full-Moon Flight Over Salem: The three sisters soar across a yellow full moon above snow-dusted Salem rooftops on wooden brooms and Mary’s red vacuum cleaner.
- Winifred and the Open Spellbook: Red-haired Winifred holds the open eye-marked Spellbook while encircled by glowing emerald-green magical ribbons and holly berries.
From zombie Billy Butcherson rising behind a wreath-draped tombstone and Binx popping out of a red gift box to the green-flame Black Flame Candle and a bubbling green cauldron with a gingerbread man, all 24 ornaments bridge Halloween nostalgia and Christmas tree tradition.
For fans who enjoy pairing Salem fantasy with colorful pop-punk holiday energy, the Blink-182 Christmas calendar makes a lively companion countdown under the tree.
