- Step 01
Match the doors to the days
9 of the 13 here have 24 doors — a 24-door box opens one a day from 1 December to Christmas Eve. The others run 12 and 25, and the shorter ones start partway through the month: a 12-door box opens on 13 December. For someone who will not open one every day, or a gift that will arrive late, fewer doors is the better fit, not the lesser calendar. Every start date
- Step 02
Know which season you are buying
None of the 13 here is a 2026 edition yet, and 6 are last season's — still sold, often discounted, and with the contents already on the page. The 7 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
Check what is inside against the price
Every calendar page that we have costed shows what the contents come to against the sticker price. We have done that for 9 of the 13 here: the median box holds 2.2× its own price in product, the spread runs 1.2× to 4.3×, and every one of them comes to more than it costs. Below 1.0× you are paying for the box; none here does that.
- Step 04
Start from the ones we have opened
9 of the 13 here carry an editors' pick — the chip above the grid narrows the shelf to those — and 1 has 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
