Love the idea of opening one present per day until Christmas? So do we.

It seems hard to believe now, but the holiday season will be here before we know it. If that phrase just stressed you out, you're certainly not alone, but the good news is that—despite the looming promise of the busiest season of the year—there's still plenty of time now to get a jump on your to-do list. Case in point: many brands have already begun to launch their versions of one of the holiday's most beloved traditions, advent calendars.

Though you may have been delighted as a kid with versions filled with cut-rate chocolate, nowadays there are far more luxurious ways to indulge your urge to open a little gift every day. From beauty advent calendars to help makeup and skincare lovers glow up for the holidays, boozy advent calendars to make things very merry, tea advent calendars to embrace the cozy season, or confectionary-filled advent calendars that will tickle a grown-up sweet tooth, there's an options for everybody. In honor of making things merry and bright this holiday, we'll be rounding up the most luxurious advent calendars on offer for 2024 (so make sure to check back regularly) and, as we await the full roster, we're also taking a look back at some favorites from last year to whet our appetites.
