Missed out on M&S's foodhall advent calendar? Try this foodie alternative

Fortnum's feasting advent calendar is a tempting proposition - (Fortnum & Mason)

There’s no two ways about it: advent calendars are a huge deal now. There’s an option on the shelves for every delectability, from beauty to something more specific. But for foodies? Fortnum & Mason’s has you covered, of course.

While the M&S foodhall advent calendar is a hot commodity right now, it sold out in record time – but this needn’t stop you from some seasonal indulgence.

When it comes to up-scaled festive foods, Fortnum & Mason (unsurprisingly) has you well looked after too.

  • Advent calendar highlights: The Midnight Feast Chocolate Hedgehogs 50g, Chef Honey Cinnamon 200g, Chocolate Chestnut Liqueur 5cl

Yes, it’s a bit cheeky to peek at the presents behind this advent calendar’s doors – but it’s important to know what we’re getting ourselves into here, right? In F&M’s own words, this calendar plays host to several items ‘to brew, bake, nibble, stir and share’, with every day marking a new foray into the realms of uber-indulgent foods.

As for my own personal highlights, The Midnight Feast Chocolate Hedgehogs are a particular favourite of mine, and quite frankly the temptation to rip open each advent door in search of them will be the main challenge. Otherwise, I’ll be lying in anxious wait for the days when I can find the Chocolate Chestnut Liqueur or the Mulled Wine Spice Box. As it turns out, I’m a glutton for a Fortnum’s sweet treat.

When does the Fortnum's Feasting advent calendar launch?

Luckily for us all, the Fortnum & Mason’s ‘Feasting’ advent calendar has officially launched and is available now for purchase, both online and in-store, with delivery due to arrive after November 1st. Happy feasting, all.
