Costco Just Brought Back One of Its Most Popular Holiday Gifts

“Got two just to be safe.”

Even though fall has just begun, retailers aren't wasting any time putting up Christmas décor. While spooky decorations and bags of Halloween candy take center stage, the sparkle of Christmas lights and snow-covered trees are already peeking from the next aisle.

As much as we love the heartwarming feel of the holiday season, the early retail displays can make shoppers feel pressured to buy early or risk missing out. Even if you resist the urge to shop until after Thanksgiving, those decorations, seasonal treats, and gifts you've been eyeing might disappear.

One item that holiday shoppers race to get each year is advent calendars. While you might remember them from childhood as simple calendars hiding chocolates behind each door, the offerings have become much more elaborate, now featuring clothing, toys, and specialty food items.

Even though the advent season is still months away, Costco shoppers are spotting a certain sought-after advent calendar that’s been a foodie favorite for years.

Bonne Maman’s 2024 Advent Calendar at Costco

Fans of the Bonne Maman advent calendar have already started finding this year’s gift set at Costco. The popular calendars feature mini jars of fruit spreads and dessert jams to be opened in the days leading up to Christmas. Unique flavors include Caramel with Coffee and Apricot with Orange Blossom.

The full 24-day Bonne Maman gift set retails for nearly $50, but savvy shoppers can snag an abbreviated 12-day calendar at Costco for a fraction of the price.

One user shared a photo of this year's calendar in the Costco subreddit, featuring an illustrated shop surrounded by Christmas trees. “Bonne Maman advent calendars are my jam. Got two just to be safe,” the Redditor wrote.

Many users expressed surprise that this holiday staple was already available. “Wait…they’re already being sold? I need mine before they sell out!” one commenter said. Another replied, “Yes! That’s what happened to me last year. They were gone before I even knew they were in stock.”

Commenters shared their love for the mini jars and offered tips on finding the full Bonne Maman calendar since it's still elusive for many. “If you’re interested in the month-long one, they sell it at World Market. Also, go to their website and buy the caramel delight trio. You’ll thank me,” one Redditor shared.

So, while you may not be ready to start checking off your holiday list just yet, remember that popular specialty items won’t stick around for long. Be sure to snag a Costco Bonne Maman Advent Calendar for yourself (and one for a friend!) before this limited-edition gift set is gone.
