The 50 best Advent calendars of 2024: Bonne Maman, Precious Moments, Godiva and more

We love the Bonne Maman Advent calendar, which is packed with 24 jams and spreads perfect for sharing (or not, honestly). Each 1-ounce jar is individually packed, so you can easily toss them in stockings that need to be stuffed this season. The packaging on the calendar depicts a classic Christmas scene, meaning your Advent calendar can double as a festive centerpiece.

Fly By Jing makes delicious Chinese-inspired spreads that you can try in this 12-day Advent calendar. Enjoy a dozen unique chili sauces and chili crisp spreads that are prefect for adding to pasta, stir fry, eggs, and even vegetables.

You can pre-order the famed Harry & David Deluxe Advent Calendar now and it'll start shipping on October 14. It's packed with 25 drawers of dark, milk, and white chocolate, including truffles, mints, and candy canes. This calendar is ideal for the chocolate-lover on your list that just wants to indulge each day with decadent treats. 

Forget candy—opt for an Advent calendar filled with protein-packed nuts like smoked almonds, butter cinnamon pecans, salted corn nuts, and coconut curry peanuts. This 12-day Advent calendar is perfect for the savory-treat lover, allowing them to snack on a different variety of nuts for nearly two weeks before Christmas.

If the thought of 24 decadent caramels makes your mouth water, get your pocketbook ready, because the McCrea's Candies 2024 Advent calendar has dropped. It features 12 different flavors of its signature caramel, and while it's a little pricey, one reviewer calls it a "deeply satisfying splurge on exquisite caramels."

This adorable candy-filled Advent calendar from Sugarfina looks like a festive little gingerbread house, but behind each window you'll find four pieces of Christmas candy in varying flavors. You could unwrap peppermint bark cookies, snowman gummies, gingerbread cuties, or even confetti caramels. There are 24 days in this calendar, totaling a delicious 96 pieces of candy.

Not into sweets? Go for a savory Advent calendar—like Uncommon Goods' 12 Days of Hot Sauce. This one isn't for the faint of heart (and by that, we mean those who are no stranger to heartburn). The sauces range from sweet to painful and feature names like "Son of Zombie" and "Garlic Reaper."

If you've got a Keurig and a taste for holiday flavors, snag the Keurig Advent Calendar, which is already in low stock.

If you don't have a pod coffee maker but love festive coffee, keep an eye on BeanBox, which will drop its Merry Mornings Coffee Club soon.

Those chilly winter nights call for warm cocktails, and if your bar cart is ready for the holiday season, load up on mixers and bitters with this 8 Days of Spirit calendar from Williams Sonoma and Woodford Reserve. It features four bitters (including spiced cherry and orange) and four spirits (including spiced apple and whiskey sour). 

Pre-order Williams Sonoma's delicious peppermint bark Advent calendar, which will ship once the weather starts to cool down. This calendar features 24 delicious days of bark (but good luck stretching it out that long). Shapes include nutcrackers, snowmen, trees, and Santas.

If you're shopping for a chocolate Advent calendar this year, you can't do better than Godiva.
