The best Advent calendars for the 2025 holiday season (so far)

September 8, 2025

As soon as a chill hits the air, visions of sugar plums start dancing in my head. I know I’m not alone: In the last month, Google searches for Advent calendars soared roughly 200%, and yes, it’s only September. The holly jolly season is still a ways away, but the merriest of merrymakers know that the best Advent calendars often sell out before Halloween. And if you don’t believe the masses, take it from me, someone who has tested and written about hundreds of Christmas countdowns for the last decade (take last year’s main roundup as proof).

Since there’s no time like the present, I’ve compiled this year’s hottest Advent calendar releases for every interest and budget. There are plenty of familiar favorites from the likes of Lego, Bonne Maman and Williams Sonoma, but the 2025 holiday season also brings some new finds, from a Hallmark Channel-inspired wine countdown to limited-edition beauty bundles that offer impressive value (I’m talking $300-plus worth of makeup and skincare for less than $100). Not sure how you want to bring the cheer? You can’t go wrong with festive chocolates, coffee pods or mini bottles of wine. Or better yet, spring for a reusable calendar and stick whatever you want inside.

We’re in the early days of Advent calendar season, so I’ll update this list as new releases drop and inevitably sell out. My expert advice: Make your pick now and yule rest easy from now until December.

all-new Minecraft release), but that doesn’t bother me one bit — hey, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Although this countdown is Lego’s smallest offering with only 186 pieces, it’s a Christmas classic. Young and old can bring the snow-covered Lego city to life with a new character (including Santa and Mrs. Claus!) or mini build each day.
