It’s Still Summer, But These Stunning Beauty Advent Calendars Have Us Counting Down The Days Until Christmas

We might be in the middle of a heatwave, but we’ve never felt more festive – largely thanks to these stunning beauty advent calendars, which brands are already starting to tease us with. So if chocolates, cheeses and wines aren’t quite what you’re looking for in your Christmas countdown this year, fear not – these ones come packed with treats for your skin, body and hair (as well as few little extras for good measure).

The Best Beauty Advent Calendars For 2025

How Country & Town House Tests The Best Beauty Advent Calendars:

As we’ve shown in previous years, we make sure to open up and review every beauty advent calendars that lands in the Country & Town House office (although, to minimise waste, we avoid calling in products from brands we already know and love).

We assess advent calendars by a multi-category criteria, covering packaging, value for money, variety of products and whether or not those products are actually useful (do they support a range of skin and hair types, as well as makeup preferences?). When we curate our feature lists, we only spotlight our favourite beauty advent calendars – the ones that are generously packed with full-size products, come with fun interactive experiences and even have secret treats hidden inside.

Country & Town House’s beauty team has over 20 years’ experience in the industry combined – and during this time we have tried hundreds (if not thousands) of products, both in and outside of advent calendars. This arguably makes us some of the best placed editors to critique and help you find this year’s top beauty advent calendars.

So, without further ado, let’s see the best picks for 2025:
