The Best Advent Calendars of 2025: From Luxury to Sweets and More

Every year, I look forward to sharing this post. As a kid, I was obsessed with little trinkets. If you ask anyone in my family, they’ll tell you the same thing.

As an adult, I still find tiny little somethings magical, and the funny thing is, Millie does as well. She shares the same joy I do when it comes to collecting and finding miniatures, which is why I believe Advent calendars are one of my favorite holiday traditions.

I vividly remember the excitement and anticipation of opening each daily box, counting down the days until Christmas arrived. There were small chocolates and even little toys, and I treasured them immensely.

Fast forward many decades, and I’m still just as in love with a great Advent calendar. Every year, I share a roundup, and this year is no different. I’ve found the best of every Advent calendar out there, from luxury beauty options to sweets and treats, to kids’ themes, and even a few Hanukkah options as well.

I’d grab the kids’ ones first, as they always sell out, then move on to get something for yourself or pick one up as a hostess gift. There’s an option for everyone, including beautiful wooden Advent Calendars you can fill yourself (this is my dream!).
