Hotel Chocolat sells five advent calendars for 2026: the Everything at 29.95 GBP, 24 doors of pralines, truffles and liqueurs across fifteen recipes, 310 g; the For Two at 29.95, a pair of chocolates a door for a couple; the Milk at 13.95 for a child; the Velvetiser at 40, drinking chocolate in sixteen recipes across 24 sachets; and the Grand at 80, the biggest box on the chocolate page at 855 g. Four of the five are rated 4 out of 5 (the house names its recipes and prints the weights, which on a shelf where nobody prints a valuation is the figure) and the Everything is the one to buy first.

The 2026 Hotel Chocolat calendars, all five of them.
Hotel Chocolat Velvetiser 2026
24 doors · £40 on the box · rated 4/5
Against 2025: down 20% to £40.
Twenty-four full-size sachets across sixteen recipes, real chocolate flakes rather than powder at under 2 GBP a cup, and the one calendar for someone who owns a Velvetiser. Eight doors are repeats of the bestsellers, and Hotel Chocolat does not say which recipe sits behind which door.
Hotel Chocolat Grand 2026
24 doors · £80 on the box · rated 4/5
Against 2025: same price.
Slabs, crackers for the tree and 50 ml Velvetised Cream with vodka, 855 g across 24 big doors for 80 GBP; the most generous chocolate calendar on the list by weight. The doors are not itemised and it needs a table of its own.
Hotel Chocolat Milk 2026
24 doors · £13.95 on the box · rated 3.5/5
Twenty-four solid pieces of Hotel Chocolat's 40% milk for 13.95 GBP, the honest step up from a supermarket calendar. It is 5 g of chocolate a day, and the shapes are the whole surprise.
Hotel Chocolat For Two 2026
24 doors · £29.95 on the box · rated 4/5
Forty-eight mini truffles, two identical ones a door so nobody argues, for 29.95 GBP and alcohol-free. Only four recipes are named in advance.
Hotel Chocolat Everything 2026
24 doors · £29.95 on the box · rated 4/5
Fifteen named recipes, the Espresso Martini and the Florentine among them, for 29.95 GBP; the Hotel Chocolat calendar to buy for an adult. Nine doors repeat a recipe, and there is alcohol in it.

How each one is countedEvery figure is computed from the records at build time and says how many it is drawn from. Door price is the price on the box over its doors; the value multiple is what the contents come to at retail over that price; full size is the retailer’s own marking. Dollar figures use rough rates and are for ranking only. Where a record cannot support a figure, it is left out rather than guessed.The definitions, one by one →5 hotel chocolat calendars for 2026.
