The best alcohol advent calendars for 2024
Make December extra fun by toasting with these tipples..🍾
Advent calendars keep on getting bigger and better every year and one of our favourite ways to get into the festive spirit is by enjoying a warming tipple (by our imaginary fireplace), and there's no better way than doing this than with an alcohol advent calendar!
Whether you're a fan of wine, gin, rum, cocktails or whisky, there are options for everyone this year and what's better is most of them come in beautifully designed boxes so they're practically a decoration in their own right.
You can also find personalisable DIY versions that you fill with your own bottles and use again year after year which is a more sustainable option, as well as being curated to the individual more, meaning that the recipient is guaranteed to get something they'll love every time they open a door.
If you're more interested in bronzer than booze, then it's worth taking a look at our selection of the best beauty advent calendars, hand picked by our beauty experts.
