The 21 best advent calendars of 2024, from chocolate to Lego
Ask a six year-old what the best advent calendar is and they’ll tell you it’s the one with the most chocolate. Right? Well, maybe in the 1970s. But in 2024 we have Lego advent calendars, Pokemon advent calendars and calendars filled with every kind of sweet and children’s toy you can think of. How can they possibly choose?
For adults, it’s even harder. Do you try to get your hands on one of the best beauty advent calendars, which often sell out as soon as they go on sale? Do you blow the budget on an indulgent food advent calendar or sophisticated drinks advent calendar, and give it to someone as an early Christmas gift? Or do you spoil yourself with a calendar packed with scented candles, jewellery or spa gifts and make every day of December a mini-holiday?
We’ve tried and tested dozens of advent calendars, filled with all sorts of gifts, from affordable chocs to high-priced cosmetics. The full list is further down, but if you’re in a hurry, here’s a quick look at our top five:
