Subscribe ‘Tis the Season: Cool Advent Calendars for Christmas 2025
Not your average chocolate a day, these advent calendars will get you excited to count down till Christmas day.
A holiday tradition that has stood the test of time, Advent calendars are a fun way to count down the days until Santa’s arrival.
Stretching out the dopamine-boosting act of opening a surprise over 12 (or, in some cases, 24) days, the Advent calendar has come a long way since the chocolate-a-day versions of our childhoods.
These days, you’re more likely to find beauty products, tea, homewares, coffee and even your favourite tipples hidden behind the doors than a cocoa-filled surprise (although you won’t catch us saying no to those anytime soon…).
The only tough part is making a decision on which one to choose. With so many fun Christmas countdowns on offer, here are our picks of the cool advent calendars for Christmas in 2025.

An advent calendar that’s made for sharing? It’s a Christmas dream come true. The chocolate geniuses at Koko Black have released a 2-in-1 calendar with a double-draw design to ensure there are no fights over who gets to enjoy a delectable treat every day. Don’t want to share? This option lets you count down to Chrissy with 25 decadent pralines all on your own.
Millon Wines 12 Nights of Wine Advent Calendar, $299
Celebrate the season with this limited-edition Christmas wine advent calendar from Millon Wines.

Gelato Messina Chocolate Advent Calendar 2025, $120
Bound to sell out as it does every year, the Gelato Messina Chocolate Advent Calendar is a crowd favourite. Each door contains a delicate choccie with a unique or gelato-inspired filling. Due to their handmade nature, Messina isn’t shipping these, so you’ll need to find a local store for pickup.
