Let’s face it: 2022 has been a year—so we’ll take all the extra moments of joy we can get, no matter how small. Enter the best advent calendars of 2022, arriving just in time to bring a daily dose of happiness to your (or your giftee’s) holiday season. After all, even the dreariest mornings will feel a bit balmier if you have a little box of surprises and delights to open and a new treat to discover.
Maybe it’s a blend of coffee you’ve never tried before, or a new scented candle that’ll make your living room feel appropriately seasonal and cozy. Or maybe it’s a new puzzle, plant, or even perfume. Whatever goodies your particular advent calendar holds in store, it’s sure to make the countdown to the holidays so much sweeter. And, speaking of that countdown, you can find calendars available in anywhere from 8- to 25-day amounts, so it isn’t too late to order one now (in fact, it’s the perfect time). Just do it soon to account for any shipping delays as we speed toward December and Christmas—and because the more popular calendars will sell out.
Whether you’re looking for fun gifts for friends and family—or looking to score mini sizes of all your favorite beauty brands—we’ve rounded up over 40 of the best advent calendars of 2022. December is just two weeks away, and each of these advent calendars is sure to spark joy this holiday season. The options are endless, from delicious chocolates, candles, and mini champagne bottles to nail polishes, hot sauces, dog treats, skin care, and sex toys. Whatever your choice, consider your holiday gift list handled with these editor-approved advent calendars from brands and retailers like Godiva, Sephora, Dior, Charlotte Tillbury, Lindt, Lovehoney, Amazon, and Nordstrom.
