9 Best New Costco, Target, and Sephora Advent Calendars This Year
Over the last few holiday seasons, Advent calendars have become less of a leading-up-to-holiday-gifts item and more of a main attraction. When we were kids, the holiday countdown items were filled with chocolate or tiny trinkets, costing under $10. Today’s advent calendars are made by luxury brands and feature full-size and mini products, ranging from jewelry, toys, and candles to bath bombs and even makeup. Which ones should you splurge on in 2025? Here are the best new Advent calendars from Target, Sephora, Ulta, Costco, and more.
1
The Lush Advent Calendar
I literally get excited every year when the Lush advent calendars drop. This year, there are a few to choose from, from the 12 Days of Christmas, $134, to the ultra-luxurious Lush Advent Calendar, $315. The craveable item has 25 favorites, including full-size holiday bath bombs, scented candles, perfume, Bubble Bars, and more.
