Include a "home" button each of the individual day slides so it allows you to navigate back to the main advent calendar slide.
You can use the Slide Master to set up some master elements such as how the heading is formatted, the date to display and include the Home button and then just add the content for each day as required.
Not sure which slides you are hiding or why but I've got a sample file I've created in this exact method to create a boardgame and when I save as PDF the hyperlinks still work.

Hi, thanks for your message.
I agree that using animations and effects, it can be made to look reasonably good. I have also done the Home button thing, so am now happy with that base effort.
Regarding hiding slides: I want to hide each individual day slide, such that a person cannot scroll through all 25 days without clicking the links on the front christmas tree slide. So I hide all the slides except the first one. The hyperlinks still work in powerpoint, but when I convert to pdf the hyperlinks on the front slide do not work. If you know of a way round this that would be a great help.
Cheers
