When it comes to the holidays, there are two types of people: Those who believe the Christmas season starts on November 1 (bring on the decorations!) and those who prefer to wait until after Thanksgiving to get into the holly jolly spirit. Regardless of which camp you fall into, however, there's one holiday item you won't want to sleep on: the best Advent calendars.
Gone are the days when Advent calendars were just for chocolate (not that we'd complain about receiving one of those classics). Now, you can find an Advent calendar for just about anything. The beauty fanatic (and Francophile) will love the French-girl approved Typology Advent Calendar ($280). Is your kid obsessed with a certain blue heeler? Snag them a Bluey Advent calendar ($25). Basically, there's one for almost any type of person, from the wine-obsessed (try the Total Wine Advent Calendar, $80), to the nail buff (go with Olive & June's Christmas calendar, $75). I looked at countless top-rated Advent calendars of all types to bring you 34 of the best of the best.
If you shop now, you'll have plenty time to scroll the virtual shelves and pick the ones that'll bring the most holiday joy to you and yours, but if you wait until December, you may not be as lucky.
Never bought one? All you need to know is that these countdown calendars get you hyped to celebrate, with many starting on December 1 and lasting through Christmas Day (though no judgment if you're too impatient to wait to open each exciting window ahead of schedule).
