The Christmas countdown is on, and there’s no better way to mark the occasion than with a luxury Advent calendar. If you’re working on your Christmas shopping list, and looking for the perfect gift for a loved one, an Advent calendar has both novelty and utility. Regardless of their fancy, there’s a 2025 Advent calendar for every taste: from artisan chocolate and aged whisky, to indulgent beauty.
Per tradition, Advent calendars are designed to be open from the 1st of December, right up to Christmas Day. Each day, you open a ‘door’ a day to reveal a new gift. After all, why open one present on Christmas, when you can have one every day?
