Gone are the days of the simple chocolate advent calendar. Counting down to Christmas now requires a new candle, piece of jewellery or beauty product to get us in the Christmas spirit. But you'd better get in the Christmas spirit fast, as it's September and the best beauty advent calendars are already selling out.
Harrods opened their pre-orders weeks ago; Space NK revealed its 2026 calendar in late August; and Liberty’s iconic calendar launched early September. By the time December comes round, most of the good ones are long gone.
