Advent calendars are my guilty pleasure when it comes to Christmas. Who doesn’t love a little bit of a treat to open every day? Those little doors are dangerous in every way. But they are also heart-warming. Over the years, I have tried so many that it has been crazy. From LEGO to chocolate ones, there are so many on the market, they have blown my mind with the details that they include. 

This year, I wanted to share a few of my favourite 2022 finds, which are a bit different to the norm. An odd one is always fun and I can’t get enough of them. Hopefully, these will make it easier for you to find a brand new creation for you and the family…

Christmas Playlist Advent Calendar, £12, Amazon: Different for many reasons, this paper advent calendar features a song every day, which you discover via the Spotify app. Sure to make you smile, this is great to get those Christmas parties started early every morning or late at night.

12 Days of Christmas Candle Advent Calendar, £34, Amazon: In both 24 day and 12 day formats, these advent calendars are perfect in brightening up a home, with both light and festive smells. From apple and cinnamon to winter walks, there is going to be a Christmas smell to suit those opening them. I can’t get enough of it.

Laithwaites Wine Advent Calendar, £69.99: Right now, you can reserve this wine advent calendar, in mixed, white and red flavours, for £10 less than normal. With a miniature bottle for every day, these are great to collect for those special nights, to enjoy at dinner time or to learn of new wines that may become your favourite.

Mr Men Advent Calendar, £35, Paperchase: Filled with 25 stationary gifts, all themed around the Mr Men, these are super cute and will make a perfect present for both adults and children. I can’t get over how sweet these treats are.

Chocolate Tablet Advent Calendar, £3.49, Cadbury: Instead of having a box, how about a bar? This year, Cadbury’s have created a new bar to tempt us all. The goal is to eat only one square a day. With minimal waste, as they save on the cardboard box, this bar can be enjoyed daily or saved until you fancy a piece. Perfect in every way, this may just be my chocolate choice this year.

What advent calendar will you be picking in 2022 lovelies?
