Are advent wreaths a thing outside of Germany?

In the US, I’ve seen advent wreaths at churches but not in anyone’s home. But I’m sure some people have it in the US. Usually wreaths are hung on the front door as holiday decorations.

We do have the christmas calendars and jokes about eating them all at once.

Interesting, did expect that to be a primarily local tradition here.

Do you only have the chocolate-filled ones for children or is it more widespread?

Chocolate filled but not really restricted to children. They also aren’t like mandatory.
