The daily ritual of popping open a paper door or digging into a felt pocket for a surprise treat is satisfyingly nostalgic.

Our picks for the best Advent calendars of 2025 cover just that and then some. From gourmet goodies to luxury beauty collections to stylish designs you can reuse for years to come, our favorites lean more chic than cheesy. Multiple listings below (organized in alphabetical order and categorized by treats you can eat, special sips, candles, and more) start shipping soon—and some will ship out immediately.

The Best Unique Advent Calendars
Astrid & Miyu Advent Calendars
If you’re shopping for someone extra-special this holiday season, may we suggest a gift that keeps on giving? Astrid & Miyu’s 2025 Advent calendars are here, and they may be the most luxurious jewelry offerings we’ve come across to date.
Awe Inspired Advent Calendar
Awe Inspired’s jewelry-filled advent calendars start shipping on November 7, and they include a suite of 12 products valued at over $1,500. Available in five elemental editions—Earth, Fire, Air, Water, and Moon—each calendar has necklaces, bracelets, and earrings, as well as perfume, charms, and a crystal. Act fast, because some of these beautiful boxes are already sold out.
Erin Condren 12 Days of Stationery Accessories Advent Calendar
If you don’t want to splurge on Papier’s Advent calendar this year, we found the next best thing: Erin Condren’s 12 Days of Stationery. While there aren’t any scalloped sticky notes or sophisticated notepads, there are glittery clips and pastel-hued pens, all housed in one shimmery box, that are designed to delight all kinds of desks. It’s also incredibly budget-friendly at just $35.
Galison Andy Warhol 12 Days of Puzzles Christmas Countdown
There are a number of puzzle-based Advent calendars out there, but not nearly as many featuring artwork by the iconic Andy Warhol. This whimsical countdown includes 12 different paintings and prints constructed from 90% recycled paper and soy-based inks. It’s from Galison, a brand that transforms all sorts of imagery into puzzles, games, stationery, decor, and more at a palatable price point.
Fortnum & Mason Tea & Biscuits Sharing Advent Calendar
There are a handful of luxurious Advent calendars from Fortnum & Mason worth perusing—in fact, we’d argue there are simply far too many fabulous choices to pick just one to highlight—but we landed on this classic tea and biscuits pairing. It’s filled with 24 duos so you can share with your favorite someone. Looking for something a little more upscale? Try the Beauty Advent calendar; its contents are valued at more than $1,000. The caveat: These ship from across the pond.
Meri Meri x Liberty Charm Bracelet Advent Calendar
We adore this Advent calendar collab between Liberty and Meri Meri—it includes sweet enamel charms that attach to a darling chain bracelet. The house-shaped container is just as cute, adorned with Liberty patterns and finished with a velvet ribbon handle.
New York Puzzle Company The New Yorker Jigsaw Advent Calendar
Have a parent who’s big into solving jigsaws and reading The New Yorker? Then behold the perfect Advent calendar. This highly giftable set comes (quite impressively) packaged with 24 mini holiday puzzles—each made in the U.S. and featuring 1,000 pieces—that will keep them busy until the big day and beyond.
Papier 24 Days of Desk Delights Advent Calendar
Papier’s Advent calendar is back for its 10th year, and this is one you shouldn’t sleep on. (The past two years it has sold out.) In the darling box you’ll find a treasure trove of stationery and other goodies—think: washi tape, a gratitude journal, and sophisticated notepads—to delight their desk or workstation. Contents are covered in patterned packaging of all shapes and sizes with the quality you’d expect from the London-based brand.
Made by Mary Founder’s Favorites Jewelry Advent Calendar
Jewelry brand Made by Mary has brought back their advent calendars, and they don’t disappoint. Choose between the silver or gold versions of a Founder’s Favorites selection, customized to birth month and ring size. We are in love with the booklike packaging, in which 12 pieces are nestled into their own pages.
The Met Museum Favorites Advent Countdown
The nostalgic scene displayed on this advent calendar is drawn from The Met’s collection of American ephemera, and features details from a vintage Christmas card. Inside, you’ll find 24 magnetic puzzles that create mini images of various Museum artworks and objects.
Williams Sonoma Chuck’s Luxury Advent Calendar
Filled with founder Chuck Williams’s favorite things, this exclusive calendar is a luxury-item gold mine. Aside from the typical trinkets and treats, like licorice and Bonne Maman preserves, this box holds Italian herbs and olive oil, as well as candles and ceramic ornaments fashioned in the form of stockpots and fish.
The Best Advent Calendars for Tasteful Treats
BonBon Advent Calendar
Swedish candy purveyor BonBon introduced an advent calendar this year, and it’s packed with delicious chocolate—and that’s just one part of their holiday collection this year.
Bonne Maman 2025 Limited-Edition Advent Calendar
Chocolates aren’t the only sweets to enjoy in the days leading up to Christmas, and Bonne Maman’s cult-favorite calendar is proof. This year’s theme takes shoppers around the train tracks of a Christmas village, holding 24 delicious vessels of jams and spreads. It’s filled with staples like strawberry and raspberry preserves, as well as a few unique flavors such as quince, lemon elderflower, and Mirabelle plum. Multiple reviewers who have purchased it in previous years note that the serving in each miniature mason jar lasts well past the New Year, too. You’ll want to buy this one sooner than later—it always sells out.
The Caviar Co. 12 Days of Caviar
If you really want to treat someone—like really treat them—why not splurge on Caviar Co.’s unique offering of a dozen drawers of 1-ounce tins of caviar and roe? The set comes with mother-of-pearl spoons, a tin key, and an exclusive recipe book. The chic packaging is just the cherry on top.
Compartés Gourmet Chocolate Advent Calendar
Within the walls of the always-sells-out Compartés Advent calendar lies 24 pieces of premium chocolate all made from scratch by a small team of confectioners in Los Angeles. Choose between two themes, Nutcracker or Winter Fox, and each individual candy is decorated with ornamental prints, matching the colorful exterior of a cozy holiday night or fun fireside scene. The sweet or tart interiors are flavored with cinnamon bun, linzer cookie, chocolate orange, and more.
Dandelion Chocolates 2025 Advent Calendar
This cosmic calendar from perennial hit Dandelion Chocolates will shine a light on our solar system’s moons for its latest iteration of the Advent tradition. Packed inside a box illustrated by Belgian artist Lina Kusaite, the mix—designed like ornaments—highlights 25 chocolatiers in North America.
Delysia Chocolatier Chocolate Truffles Advent Calendar
You can preorder this ribbon-wrapped calendar from Austin-based sweets maker Delysia. Crafted by award-winning chef Nicole Patel, these 25 truffles are a serious surprise of complex flavors, and this year, the different styles are inspired by flavors from across the U.S., like cranberry chutney and key lime pie.
Fly by Jing 2025 Limited Edition Advent Calendar
Talk about a firey gift! This Advent calendar from chili crisp purveyor Fly by Jing includes 12 TSA-approved 2-ounce jars filled with spicy sauces, ingredients, and spice blends you won’t be able to find anywhere else. Even better news: Each one is vegan and there are no artificial preservatives or flavors in any of them. The packaging is cute, too. Psst: last year’s edition sold out by October 15, and once it’s gone, it’s gone.
Lakrids by Bülow 2025 Gourmet Licorice Advent Calendar
Lakrids by Bülow is famous for its sweet and salty confections. Made in Copenhagen, this year’s decadent box of licorice features a sweet hoilday tree motif. Inside, you’ll find 24 classic flavors and exclusive varieties, but all are totally gluten- and gelatin-free. “The variety of flavors that this company is able to create is incredible,” one reviewer writes. “You don’t get an overwhelming taste of black licorice…you also get fruit flavors or cookie butter or chocolate.”
La Maison du Chocolat Advent Calendar
La Maison du Chocolat is now offering this year’s advent calendar, inspired by Place de Etoile in Paris. The beautiful box will conceal various delicious pralines and mini chocolate bars that will be hard to resist opening early.
McCrea’s Candies Caramel Advent Calendar
Skip the milk chocolate and go straight for a box of McCrea’s best-selling caramels. The Boston-based confectioner is now shipping its holiday box filled with 24 different flavors, both classic and unexpected. Each piece is handcrafted in small batches and slow-cooked (the traditional method, with copper kettles) using locally sourced butter, milk, and cream. This year’s box features an illustration by Boston-based artist Angellize Rivera showcasing a classic seasonal scene: picking up the Christmas tree.
Murray’s Cheese 12 Days of Murray’s Cheese
This is not a drill: There is nearly 2.5 pounds of cheese in this Advent calendar. Murray’s packs best-selling wedges of Gouda, several types of Cheddar, Manchego, and more into this box, as well as several jams and its favorite crackers. It arrives in an insulated box and should be refrigerated upon arrival—sign up now to be the first to know when it’s available to order.
Super NYC Chocolate 24-Day Advent Calendar
Exclusive to the MoMA Design Store, this Advent calendar is an illustrated tour of New York with stops being made at iconic skyscrapers like the Empire State Building and neighborhood staples like Katz’s Delicatessen. Behind each of the 24 doors is a piece of gourmet chocolate—some in the shape of bears—sourced from the South of France.
Walker’s Shortbread 2025 Advent Calendar
It would be hard to imagine someone not wanting a little shortbread treat every day until Christmas. Walker’s, a Scottish institution, makes this Advent calendar every year, and it’s packed with six varieties of all-butter cookies, including chocolate chip and salted caramel versions.
Williams Sonoma 24 Days of Baking Cookies
Opening up this calendar is like walking in the front door of a Paris patisserie, only you’re the head baker. Williams Sonoma tools are wrapped up inside to help you tackle the task. (Spoiler: There’s a sweater-patterned spatula and a whole assortment of cookie cutters shaped like ornaments, snowflakes, and candy canes.) This best-selling box is the gift to give to those with more than one cookie-cutter exchange party planned. For those of us who prefer a less interactive countdown, immediate gratification can be had with the Charbonnel et Walker Chocolate & Truffle calendar.
The Best Advent Calendars for Special Sips
Davids Tea 24 Trips Advent Calendar
Fight off winter’s chill with a steamy cup each day of December from Davids Tea’s 24 Days of Tea, an exclusively packed box stocked with old-time favorites and new seasonal blends; there are 24 tins of loose leaf teas and infusions. If you want to go global, try the Trips with Tea set, which is packed with.
Flaviar Whiskey Advent Calendar 2025
Consider gifting the whiskey connoisseur in your life this treasure trove of spirits. Filled with 24 top-shelf samples, the calendar kicks off a journey of flavor from the U.S. to Ireland and ships with two collectible Glencairn tasting glasses, a booklet of info on each whiskey, and a free yearlong membership to Flaviar’s online whiskey club. It starts shipping this month, and be sure to order by November 14 to allow for a timely arrival.
Maker Wine 2025 Canned Advent Calendar
This calendar of canned wine caught our eye for its well-packaged box. Most wine calendars are bulky (and weighed down by glass bottles), but this one can hang around like a 12-pack you picked up from the store. The difference, however, lies in the mix of red, white, rosé, and sparkling sips. Each of the featured blends is made by a small-production winery and holds nearly two glasses of wine to enjoy on your own or neatly split with a fellow oenophile. Plus you can tune into the complimentary tasting videos to learn more. Preorder now and yours will ship November 7.
Onyx Coffee Lab Advent Calendar
Coffee lovers, this one is for you. Onyx’s advent calendar includes 24 packs of specialty pour-over coffee spanning 18 regions, 9 countries, 19 distinct varietals, and 7 types of processing methods. Plus, there are two cool card decks—one with a daily QR code that unlocks brew-along videos and recipes, and the other a classic playing card deck made with Bicycle.
Palais Des Thés Advent Calendar
Enjoy a global selection of whole-leaf teas and infusions in hand-stitched cotton bags from Palais Des Thés this year. You’ll unwrap Pu Erh Impérial, Genmaicha, and other tea blends from different countries around the world.
Vinebox 12 Nights of Wine
Sign up to get notified when the Vinebox 12 Nights of Wine Advent calendar is ready to order. The reason we’re letting you know now? These boxes, each filled with 12 tasting-size glass vials selected by sommeliers, have sold out for years. So get one while the getting is good.
In Good Taste Wine Advent Calendar
If you want to bring the tasting room experience home, sign up for In Good Taste’s calendar. Not only does each day offer a new mini bottle to try, there’s a virtual tasting, too. In an email you can opt into, the company will send along notes and tips on how to best enjoy the box throughout the month, since it’s stuffed with makers exclusive to the online retailer. There are four selections to choose from, including an all-red option and a luxury upgrade. Plus, you can get yours for $20 less if you preorder.
Vahdam Loose-Leaf Teas Advent Calendar
Spice-and-tea purveyor Vahdam is offering a 24 tin-filled gift set of leaves all freshly sourced and packed in India. Inside each of the caddies is a range of in-house blends, including chai, black, herbal, and more. For those who savor a wide variety of teas with strong notes of spice, this makes for a great gift.

The poet Victor Pouchet created a winter tale especially for Diptyque, and the packaging is illustrated by Vincent Puente and Inès Mélia. It’s just as large and luxurious as in years previous, filled to the brim with festive fragrances, decorative vessels, best-selling perfumes, soaps, shower oils, body balms, and more.
Jenni Kayne x Oak Essentials Advent Calendar
This 12-gift advent calendar comes in the most beautiful packaging we’ve seen in the category. A beautiful pastoral scene is revealed when it’s opened, and products like full-size cleansing balm and face polish mingle with travel-size body wash, scrub, oil, and more. There’s even a gua sha and cashmere socks included.
Liberty Beauty Advent Calendar 2025
The highly-anticipated 2025 edition of Liberty’s advent calendar has arrived, and its contents is worth a whopping $1,690 value. 30 products, 20 of which are full-size, are housed in packaging illustrated by Clym Evernden, which opens to reveal beautiful drawers adorned in Liberty’s lanthe print. We won’t reveal all the surprises, but inside you’ll find La Mer, Jones Road, D.S. & Durga, and more.
Sisley Paris x Luke Edward Hall 2025 Advent Calendar
How chic is this Luke Edward Hall-designed calendar for Sisley Paris?

The Best Advent Calendars for Years to Come
L.L.Bean Woodland Advent Calendar
“This calendar is sturdy and well built to last many Christmas seasons and could easily become a family heirloom of wonderful memories,” one reviewer shares of this best-selling L.L.Bean staple. The rustic design features outdoorsy scenes and accessories—cardinals, pinecones, and ice skates—plus plaid and green-painted fronts. Many other shoppers gush over the durable construction. Fill each drawer with our chosen sweets, ornaments, or other tiny unique gifts.

When going the reusable Advent calendar route, filling one up with the sweets or goodies of your choosing is part of the fun. But perhaps you’re not sure where to start or where to buy a bulk assortment of treats.
