SantaPress - WordPress Advent Calendar & Quiz

Turn your WordPress website into a festive countdown your visitors will love. With SantaPress, every day brings a new reason to return: a surprise, a quiz, an exclusive offer or a special gift waiting behind the next door.

New in version 2.0: Bring your own Christmas scene to life with AI. Simply describe your idea, generate your calendar artwork and slice it into individual door images. Prefer a ready-made design? Choose from 6 beautiful layouts or upload your own artwork.

Your Calendar. Your Christmas Story.

  • AI-powered calendar design: From a cozy, snow-covered village to a whimsical winter wonderland — describe your scene and let AI create the artwork for your 24- or 25-door calendar. Includes 10 AI generations per license. Once you reach this limit, you can continue generating with your own Google Gemini API key.
  • From artwork to calendar in a few clicks: The new Slicer turns AI-generated images or your own artwork into individual door images using an adjustable grid. Assign them to your doors automatically — no image editor needed.
  • 6 beautiful layouts, ready to use: Get started with 6 festive layouts, each with 25 door images — 150 images in total. Or choose the blank calendar and create something entirely your own.
  • A matching look behind every door: Each layout includes coordinated popup styling, right down to the quiz buttons. Make it yours with custom widths, colors, gradients and snowflake patterns.

Give Visitors a Reason to Come Back

  • A surprise behind every door: Add text, images, videos, forms or shortcodes using the classic or block editor.
  • Open doors your way: Reveal content in a popup or on a separate page, link to an external website or send visitors straight to a WooCommerce product.
  • Make it playful with quizzes: Add trivia questions and reveal a Contact Form 7 form after a correct answer — perfect for prize draws. Optionally limit answers to one attempt per day.
  • Build the countdown you have in mind: Use 24, 25 or any number of doors, customize the columns and run multiple calendars on one website using door categories.
  • Add an unexpected festive moment: Hidden mode lets your calendar slide into view after a delay or a custom trigger.
  • Let it snow: Add falling snow when a door opens.

Easy to Customize. Built for WordPress.

  • See which surprises get the most attention: Track how often each door is opened without collecting personal data through click tracking.
  • Make every detail your own: Fine-tune your calendar with a syntax-highlighted CSS editor and ready-to-use examples. Add custom JavaScript to individual doors when needed.
  • Looks great on every screen: Responsive layouts with Retina/HiDPI support keep your calendar looking sharp on desktop, tablet and mobile.
  • Privacy-conscious by design: The calendar itself loads no external scripts and stores no personal data. Optional AI Design connects to an external service only after you explicitly agree. Any third-party content or integrations you add may have their own privacy requirements.

Even More to Unwrap

  • Preview your calendar before sharing it
  • Shuffle doors, disable past doors and show or hide titles
  • Compatible with WooCommerce, Contact Form 7, WPML and Elementor
  • English, German and Swiss German translations included
  • Clean, developer-friendly code and full documentation

AI Generation Allowance

Your plugin license includes 10 AI generations. Once these are used, you can enter your own Google Gemini API key to continue generating designs. Usage with your own key is subject to Google’s applicable limits and charges. You can also use the included layouts or upload your own artwork without using AI generations.

Requirements: WordPress 6.2 or newer and PHP 7.4 or newer. An Envato purchase code is required to access the included AI generations.

Make the countdown part of the celebration — one door at a time.

Merry Christmas!
