The best beauty advent calendars still in stock for 2024
Chocolate advent calendar, you say? That's so done. Beauty advent calendars are now the must-have for your mantlepiece. And the savings you can score are better than ever for 2024.
Beauty aficionados will know that luxury department store Liberty launched the original multi-brand advent calendar in 2014 (and for many, it's still the best). Each year, come rain or shine, a queue forms around the store, with shoppers trying to bag one of the coveted designs.
We're sorry to say the Liberty calendar has now inevitably sold out, but there are plenty more to pick from now that December 1 has been and gone, as many of our favourite beauty brands, retailers and stores have thrown their hat in the ring for the ultimate Christmas countdown this year. Naturally, they're now reduced to clear, too!
Packed with anywhere from 12 to 40 beauty treats – often with great savings – these festive beauty boxes are a guaranteed win-win for shoppers and brands.
If you're keen to secure a good one before it goes, we've rounded up our favourite beauty advent calendar picks for 2024 below, so you can get your hands on that festive gold dust before it's gone. Decking the halls is no longer reserved for December, don't you know...
