The house where they open the doors and windows counting down the days? That is called an Advent Calendar. I don't know where you can get one like that (it is a nice one), most I have seen are cheap paper ones. I think they originated in Germany so maybe one of the German HTF members could help out? I hope that at least helps the search.
If you have any Christmas specialty shops around you, try there. I saw one locally a few years ago that was kind of similar, but rather pricey. I believe it was around $350-400. I'd like a nice Advent Calendar for the kids, but that was a bit more than I wanted to spend.
A bit off topic, but Lego used to release an Advent Calendar (although I don't think they referred to it as an Advent Calendar). Each door hid a Christmas-themed Lego mini-set. It cost around $20, and my son loved it.
That was one of those terms that escaped me at the time.
I've been looking but to no avail for a good advent house and am toying with the idea of building one myself. I figure this will be a many-months project but if I get the wife involved, it will be something we do together.
Judging by the links I've found thus far on the web, I am not the only one looking for this item.
Try a religious bookstore, probably a Catholic bookstore in particular. If there is something local to you (can't imagine there isn't one with all those Irish and Italians in your neck of the woods), take a look and see what they have.
I know this post is older but if any of you are still looking for a Replica of the "Christmas Vacation" Advent House - Check this site: ChristmasAdventHouse.com
The House costs $595.00 plus actual shipping cost. It's made with real brick and mortar.
