Kissed by Christmas Romance Advent Calendar 2026 by the numbers
How each one is countedEvery figure is computed from the record at build time and set against the median of the same season and the same kind of contents. 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. Where the record cannot support a figure, the page leaves it out rather than guessing.The definitions, one by one →Each figure against the median of this season's shelf — 474 calendars. Green is the better side of the median, red the worse; the median is printed so you can disagree.

Our Kissed by Christmas Romance Advent Calendar 2026 review
Our verdict
Twelve new festive romances from a strong line-up of authors, one to read every other day, with postcards, bookmarks and baubles in between. For a romance reader it is a lot of new reading for the price; the gift envelopes are the lighter half.
