From beauty products to luxury surprises, these are our favourite Advent Calendars of 2026.
This year’s selection goes far beyond the traditional chocolate countdown. Beauty brands have filled their calendars with skincare, make-up, fragrance, haircare and body products, while luxury houses are turning the format into a collectible object in its own right.
For a full beauty routine, the Sephora Advent Calendar stands out with 27 full-sized products and a combined value of more than £1,000. Dr. Barbara Sturm offers a more focused skincare experience, with 12 full-sized formulas presented in numbered velvet pouches inside a festive red vanity case.
If fragrance is your priority, look to Jo Malone London, Diptyque, Molton Brown or Penhaligon’s for beautifully packaged scent discoveries. For a more eclectic mix, Fortnum & Mason brings together 24 full-sized beauty products from brands including Clive Christian, Jean Charles Brosseau and Granado.
Other favourites include Sisley Paris, Charlotte Tilbury, KORRES, L’Occitane, Anthropologie and a range of Korean skincare calendars packed with viral favourites. Whether you want one beautiful product each day or a complete luxury beauty wardrobe by Christmas, there is a calendar for you.
