The season of mistletoe and wine, Michael Bublé on repeat, and copious amount of cheeseboards is approaching. We know there are still a few months to go, but excitement for Christmas starts to build as soon as we hear Pumpkin Spice Lattes are back, right? And what makes the countdown even more fun? Advent calendars.
In years gone by, we would’ve been chuffed with little nuggets of chocolate hidden behind 24 (or 25, if you’re lucky) square windows, but in recent years, Advent calendars have had somewhat of a glow up. Luxury labels have jumped on the bandwagon, with beauty Advent calendars skyrocketing in popularity with the likes of big brands Jo Malone, Charlotte Tilbury, and Look Fantastic, topping the wishlists of many a yuletide yuppie – and often selling out very quickly.
Yet for 2022, Advent calendars have transitioned into the wacky, weird, and wonderful. Don’t be fooled into thinking it’s only chocolate or skin care on offer. From socks to spices and a whole lot of sex toys, you may be surprised at just how many different types of Advent calendars are out there.
So as our Aperol Spritzes transform into mugs of mulled wine, read ahead to discover the craziest calendars on offer to get you on your merry way.
