When do Advent calendars go on sale?

The leaves have barely begun to change—is it too early to start your Advent calendar shopping? Trust us when we say no. The best Advent calendars go on sale months before the trees are trimmed, with the first ones hitting virtual shelves in August. After that, it’s a race to keep up with the festive drops, as brands and retailers release their anticipated offerings in a dizzying whirl that lasts through early November. And these are hotly anticipated. Wait too long to shop, and the best beauty Advent calendars will be out of stock, gone forever—poof!

Are beauty Advent calendars worth it?

Some beauty Advent calendars fall into the splurge category, but the truth is that the best of them vary widely in cost. In the past, Vogue editors (and all our giftees) have had our holiday seasons brightened by everything from Sisley Paris’s $780 calendar to Saks Fifth Avenue’s $225 iteration to Voluspa’s $75 offering.

No matter the cost, most calendars do offer a considerable value. For instance, Benefit’s Gorgeous Grocer Holiday Calendar Gift Set, valued at $322, has a retail price of $164. La Mer’s 12-piece gift set, with an estimated worth of $720, has a $500 price tag. And consider this: Revolve’s Beauty Advent Calendar, valued at $539, will set holiday shoppers back just $150.
In the end, though, worth is a relative term. Along with the price of each calendar, consider how many gifts it holds and what’s inside. (Will it make you or your loved one light up like a fully lit menorah? Then it’s worth it!) Finally, consider that some of the calendars come in keepsake boxes that last well beyond the calendar year.

What are the most popular beauty Advent calendars?

Judging from the excited squeals that come from our beauty closet this time of year—instantly signaling that an Advent calendar has arrived—every calendar on this list has the capacity to delight even the most seasoned industry insiders. But their appeal extends far beyond Vogue HQ. These limited-edition goods tend to sell out fast, and sets from brands like Charlotte Tilbury, Jo Malone, Sephora, Harrods, and Saks Fifth Avenue whiz off the shelves particularly fast.

What is the most luxurious Advent calendar?

When the world’s top luxury brands pour their savoir faire into Advent calendars, the results are—predictably—the height of luxury. To wit: In 2023, Dior’s $750 Le 30 Montaigne Holiday Advent Calendar was filled with the brand’s best-loved fragrances, lipsticks, and serums; it also featured long-wearing lipsticks that were fresh off the runway. Also rather luxe, last year Christian Louboutin’s $600 Holiday Advent Calendar held party-ready lipsticks, lengthening mascara, and twinkly keepsakes including lipstick and stiletto charms. This year, look out for luxurious offerings from these brands and more, including Sisley Paris and YSL.
