Ok, hear me out on improving this one! 2 bags in each door marked A and B, 2 multiple choice answers corresponding to A and B, the correct one has yummy beans, the wrong one tastes nasty! So fun for a family!!
I think what they could have done was ask a question about the character instead of the character being the answer like “What is Dumbledores favourite bertie botts flavour”
They definitely needed at least one new flavor for every day. I know there are enough jelly bean flavors that there could have been a new one for each day. Also like you said the trivia was definitely spoiled by the answer being right there and some of the doors having the answers.
I was surprised that the doors weren’t the size and shape of the framed portraits. I feel they missed an opportunity here, instead of cutting people in half when you open the door
Doesn't Jelly Belly have 100's of flavors? I feel like at the least, they could have had a different flavor behind each door. Maybe they could have listed the flavors on the back and made matching them up with the candy part of the game.
I am also very sad to see this advent calendar through you coming to an end this year. It was the only bright spot of my day watching you opening up very types of advent calendars as this month has been hard
In this calendar, they probably are - the page for this calendar on the official site lists these flavours: • Banana • Blueberry • Candyfloss • Cherry • Cinnamon • Green Apple • Lemon • Marshmallow • Tutti-Fruitti • Watermelon and that not all calendars will have all the flavours. I really like some of those flavours, but maybe a unique flavour behind each door would be better (I can't stand the Bean-Boozled ones though).
i have jumped on the advent-calander train. i found an advent-calender book about the creatures and being from myth thats connected with christmas and winter. its writen as an beastiary and has survival tips. im really looking forward to it.
I got one that is crystals because I’m really into them, both from a magickal and scientific standpoint. I haven’t had one since I was a kid, so I’m really excited. 😊
the trivia is a little more for kids that got into the Hp fandom or so for fun, for the Jelly beans..if would have loved it if they put diffrent flavours in one color palette like all kind of red, cherry strawberry etc. together so one would have a surprise within each days colored beans
Honestly after watching you open the first couple of doors we were having fun trying to guess the questions behind each door and actually got some of them right😂
The ones where they asked about the traits of the houses were spoiled by the house crests on them. Cherry said that there was no spoilers on them, but missed that they were the house crests on those doors.
I've gotten my family into watching these advent calendar videos now lol my niece asks me all the time if cherry has a new video yet today ❤ really appreciate the work that went into this series. It's been awesome!
i'm going to miss those daily videos! you know they say you can create a new habit in 21 days...well thank you for creating that great habit and then leaving us in our own despair, cherry 🥲
When I saw Peter Kenneth reviewing this, I was doing other stuff and did not realize the characters on the doors already showed the answers on the door. I get them trying to come with themes with each character, but it does treat the customer as stupid, in my opinion. They could add other questions that go with the characters or just change the pictures.
I have to believe that actual Bertie Botts trademarked beans must be under some kind of special licensing that wasn't available (or was too expensive) for these calendars. The connection between jelly beans and HP is just too obvious - my guess is they created this calendar with sort of 'generic' Jelly Belly flavors to loosely connect the two without having to splurge on the extra licensing.
well, reminds me on a joke I played on a nephew 15 years ago and no bertie bott available: I slit open a candy box from beneath and smuggling some soup cubes (maggi, nestlé, knorr) inside - of course along with some skincare capsules looking like sweets - the laughter at the party was worth the try :-)
Good afternoon Cherry!!! It is a little sad that the answers are on the front of some of the doors, but the jelly beans are amazing. Thank you so much for sharing with us, and I hope you have a Blessed weekend.
I used to troll my 6th grade class so hard with Bertie Botts bags that were *actually* Bertie Botts. I don't even like jelly beans but I would bring them to school and convince my classmates that I was giving them marshmallow for vomit or apple for bogies (I forget the actual color). And I kept doing it and they kept falling for it. But this calendar was such a miss with the repetition of bean flavors and zero wizarding flavors. There are 20 flavors, and not even all of the weird ones are inherently bad. But even worse, the biggest selling point, as you said, was ruined with already easy questions made easier with spoilers. They could have kept the iconography without making almost every question a character name. For the picture of Fawkes, "Who does Fawkes the phoenix belong to?" For Snape, "What class does Snape teach for the first six years?" Those are still pretty easy without spoilers that pretty much any kid or adult could get if they've seen the movies or read the books. I feel like for such a repetitive and specific calendar, the trivia could have been better for the price since that's the most compelling selling point. They could have also had it in card form within the slots where you can take them out and keep it as a game and have easy and hard qs (and then you wouldn't see the answer so easily either). Then you'd have 48 questions and a full-on mini-game to play for really no additional cost for the company.
It's so interesting to watch your reviews - I try to hop on and watch different reviews etc about other licensed products so I can see feedback about was done well and what could be improved!
As a jelly bean lover, this would be the ideal calendar for me 😂 I dont mind the trivia being a bit obvious with the answers, be harder for younger kids who might not remember the names as well.
It would be nice to see a Honeydukes advent calendar and have it include all the magical sweets from the movie with a bit of HP trivia. They also should hide the answers under a flap so if someone wanted it for themselves the answer wasn’t right there.
I think a nice design on the cover with the trivia on top would've been better. The photos could've been inside to avoid the spoilers. Like the idea, nevertheless.
That wouldn't have been as much of a presentation when you opened it up, but if the doors pulled all the way off and the portraits/picture clues were printed on the back, in the end it would have been a cool 3-D look! Good idea!
I liked this calander, I do agree in they should have a good and "bad" flavours in the bag and showcase all of them, not miss one out entirely. I think it would add more fun, especially if there is multiple people opening it. Winner of trivia gets first choice or something. I do agree with the spoilers, it did make it way to easy. I got 22/24, the ravenclaw learning threw me, I said Wit, wisdom and cleverness. I also got the diadem one wrong because I said Tom Riddling jumping ahead of who took it from Helena 😆 Overall, I think this is a 7/10. Great for a family but some improvements needed, especially with the spoilers.
Lovely design for this one, but the trivia is way too easy (and the fact the answers are on the flaps AND just written upside down kind of ruins it for me unfortunately 😅) I also agree that they should have mixed in each bags the good and bad flavours, it would have been way more fun! Anyway, it was nice overall and not too pricey so it's not that bad in the end! Can't believe there's only 2 days of advent left, btw! I'm going to miss this series very much!
Agree they should of put Bertie beans in there, maybe mix them so the family daily pick a bean and one is gross 😂. Shame on the trivia part too. But a fun advent anyway
Bertie Botts would’ve been perfect. They make jellybeans they could’ve put a different flavor in each day instead of repeating them. Including some Christmas flavors would’ve been nice. They could put the question on the inside of the door and the answer under the jellybeans and yes, lame that they give the answers away.
Its good jelly belly kept the strange/gross flavors but it put my friend off eating them when i got her them last xmas so i kind of understand them not wanting to use them for this
instead of an advent Calander this would make a fun party game at a holiday party judge has box facing them first to answer the question gets the sweets.
Cherry, I think you’ll find two or three of those “cherry” packets are actually the cinnamon… as a huge jelly bean fan, especially the cinnamon flavour, they’re identical
Well as it is a Jelly Bean Advent Calendar and not a Berty Bott‘s Beans one, I‘m fine with there not being any funny flavours included but as a Harry Potter Advent Calendar, they definitely missed out on that opportunity! I also would have liked if they had their questions not on the according portraits. Like that they would still have the hints on the calendar but not right in front of you. I enjoyed this Advent Calendar nevertheless.😊👍💖
If it was an actual bertie botts situation, I’d happily pay the 19£ for it. But I’m gonna pay that for what’s essentially just a bag of jelly beans and poorly designed trivia cards.
well if you think about it if you combine the colors the green is obviously Slytherin, yellow is Hufflepuff, blue is of course Ravenclaw and red is Gryffindor so that could have symbolized the house point and Gryffindor wins the house cup again.
You could Mix them all in a jar not a transparent one and then when you eat one you still have a « surprise » of which flavor you’ll get ☺️ and the cherry one will be your « nasty » flavor version as you don’t like them 🤣
CAN YOU BELIEVE THERE'S ONLY 2 DAYS OF ADVENT LEFT OF THIS SERIES? 🥲 What's been your FAVOURITE alendar to watch in the series so far?!
Nooooooooo, keep doing it, pleaaaaaaaase 🙏🏻
Both of the lush
Noooo! i‘m gonna have withdrawals 😢
The Night Bus one. It was very interesting.
Noooooooo
Ok, hear me out on improving this one! 2 bags in each door marked A and B, 2 multiple choice answers corresponding to A and B, the correct one has yummy beans, the wrong one tastes nasty! So fun for a family!!
Yes! Exactly what I was thinking
that would be so fun!
Great idea! 😮😆👍
Perfect idea!!
Exactly what I thought this one was! Why would they not do that??!!
Cherry not liking Cherry flavoured things made me giggle! 🍒😂 I'm absolutely loving this series Cherry!!
let`s call her orange from now on :))
I definitely think that Bertie Botts every flaver jelly beans would be absolutely perfect for this calender.
One of the cherry packets might be cinnamon sometimes the colours aren't 100%
I was going to say this! It does say on the back of the box, some red are cinnamon.
I think what they could have done was ask a question about the character instead of the character being the answer like “What is Dumbledores favourite bertie botts flavour”
Lemon
Love that they have used Richard Harris' Dumbledore.
They definitely needed at least one new flavor for every day. I know there are enough jelly bean flavors that there could have been a new one for each day. Also like you said the trivia was definitely spoiled by the answer being right there and some of the doors having the answers.
Me and my 7 year old Imogen have loved watching these every day. She was mildly outraged how many cherry ones you got in here today!!
Some of the red ones are cinnamon flavoured if that makes her feel any better 💖
@@myra0224She thought the cinnamon ones sounded horrible so possibly not! 😂
I used to live ear minutes away from the Jelly Belly factory in California. Their cafeteria had jelly bean shaped food. It’s a fun tour with tastings
45 minutes. Not sure where “ear” came from
I bet a couple of the red jelly beans are cinnamon. I used to get jelly belly brand beans every Christmas but could never tell those two apart
I get tricked too. I love cherry and loathe cinnamon so I’m very cautious about biting into mystery red beans lol.
John Lewis do a Bertie’s bots every flavour inspired calendar!!!!!! Would have loved to see your review of that
I was surprised that the doors weren’t the size and shape of the framed portraits. I feel they missed an opportunity here, instead of cutting people in half when you open the door
Gonna be gutted to not have daily Cherry uploads when this series is over. I’ve enjoyed it soooo much ❤
So excited for this video but so sad for this to end!! Love this series and it is basically apart of my routine 🤣. Love you cherry!❤
Oh we are getting so close to the end of these and I am so sad about!!! Love seeing the videos everyday!
I wish they had put the trivia on little cards so you could keep them so you could have a little game to keep.
100% agree with your review. It would be more fun if we had every flavour beans and about the spoilers, let’s hope next year they’ll improve 🤞🏽
Doesn't Jelly Belly have 100's of flavors? I feel like at the least, they could have had a different flavor behind each door. Maybe they could have listed the flavors on the back and made matching them up with the candy part of the game.
I can't believe there is only 2 episodes left. I don't know what I will do with me life
I am also very sad to see this advent calendar through you coming to an end this year. It was the only bright spot of my day watching you opening up very types of advent calendars as this month has been hard
the cinamon flavor is the best one! also, you are right for the fact that theyre should habe been weird flavord
Your voice quotes from the movie were precious. Thanks for this fun series, happy holidays from 🇨🇦👋🏻
Not all RED jelly beans are cherry flavour 😉
@@ShintogaDeathAngel the other ones are cinnamon
In this calendar, they probably are - the page for this calendar on the official site lists these flavours: • Banana • Blueberry • Candyfloss • Cherry • Cinnamon
• Green Apple • Lemon • Marshmallow • Tutti-Fruitti • Watermelon and that not all calendars will have all the flavours. I really like some of those flavours, but maybe a unique flavour behind each door would be better (I can't stand the Bean-Boozled ones though).
That's actually so cute that apart from the white and pink beans, they are in the house colors! We have red, green, yellow and blue :) well thought
LOL! The surprise and shock in your voice and face was so EPIC at the end of the calendar LOL!
I’ve always wondered if someone named after something would like it so it was funny to hear you say you don’t like fake cherry flavour!
i have jumped on the advent-calander train. i found an advent-calender book about the creatures and being from myth thats connected with christmas and winter. its writen as an beastiary and has survival tips. im really looking forward to it.
I got one that is crystals because I’m really into them, both from a magickal and scientific standpoint. I haven’t had one since I was a kid, so I’m really excited. 😊
loved this calendar. did like the trivia
the trivia is a little more for kids that got into the Hp fandom or so for fun, for the Jelly beans..if would have loved it if they put diffrent flavours in one color palette like all kind of red, cherry strawberry etc. together so one would have a surprise within each days colored beans
I really enjoyed this series, will you be doing any gift guides for Christmas? ❤x

Each bag has the flavors printed on them!
went back and saw that too she didn't notice the wording on one of the sides lol
Not my fav calendar this yr, but thanks for showing us :)
I'm so excited to watch this!!!!! Thank you Cherry, you never fail to make my day 🩷
The color of some of these jellybeans are representing the Hogwarts houses !!! 😊 If anybody missed it ❤ Love your videos Cherry
i'm going to miss those daily videos! you know they say you can create a new habit in 21 days...well thank you for creating that great habit and then leaving us in our own despair, cherry 🥲
Cute, fun calendar! Really don't like the spoilers. These calendar unboxings have been great fun!!!

The pouch's were a nice touch!!!
Enjoyed this calender

I agree with you on the spoilers would personally be a bit disappointed thank you for sharing!
Loved this one. So cute. Shame about the spoiled answers. Love the design of it.
Hello!!! Wonderful to see you again, Cherry!
Good afternoon Cherry!!! It is a little sad that the answers are on the front of some of the doors, but the jelly beans are amazing. Thank you so much for sharing with us, and I hope you have a Blessed weekend.

Day 6 : A basilisk fang destroyed Tom Riddle's dairy by Harry Potter in the Chamber of Secrets.
Loved it had them all good😜 I am a Proud Slytherin! Very proud! My fav replica is my Lucius Malfoy’s walkingcane and my Nimbus 2001🥰
Does the cane have the pull out wand and everything?
Nice. An interactive calendar is a nice idea. Tho I do think the questions could have been a bit more sophisticated...
It's so interesting to watch your reviews - I try to hop on and watch different reviews etc about other licensed products so I can see feedback about was done well and what could be improved!
I am going to have a hard time thinking that this series is gonna end soon 😢. Watched all of them and my favorite one was the Squishmallows one ! 😊💖
Day 12 : Neville killed Voldemort's snake with the Gryffindor Sword.
Cinnamon is my favorite. I would have been so sad ❤
i think that, for a big harry potter fan, some questions are to easy. everyone knows dobby was from the malfoys! but still a fun calander!
With all the flavours jelly belly has, they have the ability to not do repeats
As a jelly bean lover, this would be the ideal calendar for me 😂 I dont mind the trivia being a bit obvious with the answers, be harder for younger kids who might not remember the names as well.
It would be nice to see a Honeydukes advent calendar and have it include all the magical sweets from the movie with a bit of HP trivia. They also should hide the answers under a flap so if someone wanted it for themselves the answer wasn’t right there.
A Honeydukes advent calendar would be AMAZING! I would totally buy that for sure! I love Honeydukes.
Minerva McNonanall is also one of my favorites!! 😂
Jelly Belly has so many more flavors than that!
This has been so much fun 🎉
I think if you had small kids, the pictures would be helpful to make it a family event every day.
I think a nice design on the cover with the trivia on top would've been better. The photos could've been inside to avoid the spoilers. Like the idea, nevertheless.
Or a different overall scene instead of portraits. Something like the Great Hall all set up for the Christmas dinner might have been nice!
That wouldn't have been as much of a presentation when you opened it up, but if the doors pulled all the way off and the portraits/picture clues were printed on the back, in the end it would have been a cool 3-D look! Good idea!
I was waiting for a sweets calendar.
The Barbie and rubber duck one ❤

yes

I’ve gotten all of the questions correct, guess the questions are too easy for me. It would be a fun calendar to open this with a family.
Bertie Botts would’ve been perfect. They make jellybeans they could’ve put a different flavor in each day instead of repeating them. Including some Christmas flavors would’ve been nice. They could put the question on the inside of the door and the answer under the jellybeans and yes, lame that they give the answers away.
Its good jelly belly kept the strange/gross flavors but it put my friend off eating them when i got her them last xmas so i kind of understand them not wanting to use them for this
I bought myself the Rituals calendar. Looking forward to opening it. But I will do it daily, if I can manage that.
Rest in peace hagrid and snape
hi new to your channel enjoying ur content ❤❤❤
I don’t want this series to end 😢😢😢😢
24 days of advent calendars, I would call you ‘determined’
instead of an advent Calander this would make a fun party game at a holiday party judge has box facing them first to answer the question gets the sweets.
Cherry, I think you’ll find two or three of those “cherry” packets are actually the cinnamon… as a huge jelly bean fan, especially the cinnamon flavour, they’re identical
They need to take the answers off the door
Well as it is a Jelly Bean Advent Calendar and not a Berty Bott‘s Beans one, I‘m fine with there not being any funny flavours included but as a Harry Potter Advent Calendar, they definitely missed out on that opportunity! I also would have liked if they had their questions not on the according portraits. Like that they would still have the hints on the calendar but not right in front of you.

Day 24 : Professor Minvera McGonagall was the Head of the Gryffindor House.
I got all of the right except one descriptor of slytherin and one of raven claw
technically, the creature Harry received for his birthday was a snowy owl
Hi Cherry! 😊🍒👋😁😀
Love watching you! Always have a smile on my face with your vids x
This calender is so beautiful i love harry potter
Like Bean Bazooled
Advent calendar 2024 !!!!
I have seen a couple of these being opened this year and you are the only one that got the panting's correlate to the answer.
The hints on the doors pissed me off
You could Mix them all in a jar not a transparent one and then when you eat one you still have a « surprise » of which flavor you’ll get ☺️ and the cherry one will be your « nasty » flavor version as you don’t like them 🤣
This advent calendar is cute ❤
Im making Christmas cookies while watching this I never miss a video love you Cherry 🍒
If u check the others who tried this advent calendar, there is cinnamon flavor and it’s one of those red one! She just didn’t try it!
Since they had portraits on the calendar they could have labeled only day 1 and then the portrait of the answer is the next day.
