Advent calendars used to be a simple affair: a cardboard box full of tiny, cheap chocolates or a wooden box with 25 doors and 25 small trinkets. They've taken on a life of their own now, and, honestly, it's kind of exciting. Finding the perfect Advent calendar for your kid who likes Barbie, LEGO, or Hot Wheels is fun. But have you ever looked into adult advent calendars for yourself? Seriously, advent calendars are for everyone — and if anyone deserves to treat themselves this season, it's the one who makes the magic happen for everyone around them (ICYMI, that's you).

Aldi made waves a while back with a very reasonably priced cheese advent calendar. And Bonne Maman's jelly and jam advent calendar was all over TikTok last year. Those weren't for kids; they were for grown-ups, and they were delightful. Between the holiday stress like prepping big winter meals, gathering up presents, and (ugh) paying for said presents with your holiday budget, you deserve a little treat, too. These are the coolest adult advent calendars on the market this year. There! One less thing to research.
