I think an advent calendar is bigger than just a religious thing. Might have originated from traditions there, but just remember that Santa Claus has been derived from the Dutch Sinterklaas, who was a holy man (saint) from the middle east and has been turned into a commercial thing by Coca Cola with reindeers.
I don't think many will make that link now and just grab the gifts from under the tree
And the tree originates from a pagan ritual that was later merged with christian religious beliefs into christmas. Just like some rituals in Central America are merged with Katholic beliefs. It is a way to attach locals to a new belief system. But nowadays, all that appears to be left of all these original beliefs and traditions, are the parties, festivities and gifts.
It is a nice initiative from Ubi Soft. But these gifts are, well... More like from Scrooge McUbi
