How to choose a chocolate advent calendar
- Step 01
Match the doors to the days
49 of the 50 here have 24 doors — a 24-door box opens one a day from 1 December to Christmas Eve. The other one has 25. Every start date
- Step 02
Know which season you are buying
31 of the 50 here are 2026 editions, and 10 are last season's — still sold, often discounted, and with the contents already on the page. The 9 older than that are listed for the record, not for buying. A brand's page keeps every edition together, so check whether the box you are looking at is this year's before you compare prices.
- Step 03
Start from the ones we have opened
8 of the 50 here carry an editors' pick — the chip above the grid narrows the shelf to those — and 32 have a written score. Those are the boxes somebody on this site has actually judged. The rest are listed because they exist, not because we are recommending them; being on this page is not a verdict. How we review
