If you prefer to enjoy the holidays as long as possible, Advent calendars are just one of the ways to make sure that every day of the Christmas season feels a bit festive. Whether you're looking for a new, disposable Advent calendar, or for fun tchotchkes and miniature treats to fill a reusable calendar that's been passed down for generations—you'll want to move fast. Brands are introducing Advent calendars earlier than ever, and they're selling out faster, too. Some high-demand Advent calendars will run out of stock before December is even on the calendar (we're looking at you Aldi calendars). Most Advent calendars come in 12- or 24-day increments, so they're designed to begin December 1 or December 12. And nowadays, these upscale calendars go beyond barely-edible chocolate. From tea to wine, cheese to hot sauces, these Christmas countdown calendars will bring a bit of cheer to every day of the holiday season. Send some to your loved ones or save them all for yourself, we won't judge—besides, you can never have too many Advent calendars to open during the holidays.
