As a Christmas enthusiast, I’ve always been intrigued by the Advent of Code, a series of daily programming puzzles leading up to Christmas.

I’m also sharing my solutions on a special Advent of Code-themed website. Find out how you can create your own Advent of Code site and automate the process with the aochelpers R package.
