John Lewis launches the ultimate beer and snacks advent calendar for 2023
It's September. And that can only mean one thing — it's time for us to consider which advent calendar we want to treat ourselves to in the lead up to Christmas (a big decision, if you ask us).
Now, if you're someone who usually sticks to the classic variety with a slab of chocolate behind each window but fancies trying something new this year, then we've got just the thing.
John Lewis just dropped a Beer & Snacks Advent Calendar for 2023, which is bursting with 24 delicious treats, from Thornbridge's Jaipur Indian Pale Ale to Olly's Sour Cream & Onion Pretzel Thins.
Containing 14 glass bottles of beer and 10 snack packets, it's arguably the tastiest and most refreshing way to spend the Christmas countdown.
Behind each window you'll find a range of complimentary beers and snacks from brands and breweries up and down the country, including Cold Bath Brewing Co, Toast, Harviestoun Brewery and Keith Brewery.
As for the snacks to expect? There's a host of nuts, pretzels, salt and vinegar crisps, bombay mix and more. A match made in Heaven.
Available to buy online now, we have a feeling it's going to fly off shelves long before December.
