The holiday season is just around the corner, and with it comes the annual frenzy of beauty advent calendars.

Whether you’re looking to treat yourself or someone special, we’ve rounded up the best calendars of 2024 that are guaranteed to bring joy (and serious skincare perks) all December long. These are our picks for the best beauty advent calendars for 2024.

What are Beauty Advent Calendars and are They Worth it?

In the world of holiday gifting, beauty advent calendars have become a favourite, offering a fun way to count down to Christmas. Traditionally, advent calendars were filled with chocolates or sweets, but beauty brands have elevated this concept by curating calendars filled with a mix of skincare, makeup, and self-care goodies. Each day leading up to Christmas, you get a new product to add to your collection.

Are they really worth the investment? For many, the appeal lies not just in the element of surprise but in the exceptional value these calendars offer. Most beauty advent calendars contain a mix of full-sized products and deluxe minis, often totalling much more in value than the price you pay. Beyond the savings, they’re also an ideal way to try new products from favourite brands or discover something entirely new. However, it’s important to choose wisely – some calendars are thoughtfully curated with high-quality products, while others can be a hit-or-miss collection of items.
