WELCOME to the Daily chart advent calendar. We've looked at the data behind every chart we published this year and have created this festive Christmas countdown. The 24 most popular maps, charts, data visualisations and interactive features sit behind the calendar doors above, and a new door will be available to open every day until Christmas Eve when our most popular infographic of 2018 will be revealed. There’s also an entirely new graphic behind door number 25—a Christmas gift to all our readers.
