Advent calendars for foodies

We actually start counting down to Christmas as early as mid-September, but now we’re really being rewarded for it. With these delicious advent calendars, that is. And let’s be honest, they’re especially fun to receive.

Original rum calendar

A bottle of spirits every day. This advent calendar from Drankgigant contains 24 2-centilitre bottles. The labels tell the stories behind the different rums. You also get a handy booklet for all your tasting notes.

McDonald’s app

Following last year’s huge success, McDonald’s is also launching a digital advent calendar this year. If you download the free app, you can swipe a gift every day. Can’t handle the suspense? The list of what will appear online and when has been leaked, so quickly put your favourites in the calendar.

Have yourself a beery Christmas

Yes, there’s an advent calendar with specialty beer, and for €69.90 it’s yours. Hopt has collected beers from 29 breweries in 21 countries, so you can drink your way to Christmas.

Betjeman & Barton

Our favourite tea house, Betjeman & Barton, will help you get through the dark days with an advent calendar full of tea. Think tisane, Darjeeling and the famous Christmas tea and Pouchkine.

Do it yourself

Can’t find anything to your taste, or does your favourite calendar have to come from a faraway country? You don’t have to be a creative whiz to put an advent calendar together yourself. Take this Ikea package, for example, with 24 fun boxes in different sizes and stickers for the days.
