Beauty advent calendars to shop now as top brands launch money-saving buys for 2025

Beauty advent calendars have become the Christmas shopping event of the year, and they’re only getting more popular. Once a niche treat for beauty fans, they’ve now turned into hot-ticket items that sell faster than pumpkin spiced lattes in September. From skincare minis to luxury make-up favourites, the best calendars are often worth double, sometimes even triple, their price tag. But here’s the catch: if you’re not quick enough, or haven’t signed up to a waiting list, you’ll likely miss out.

That’s why brands are opening up pre-orders and early launches right now, giving shoppers the chance to secure December’s most-wanted beauty calendars before the rush. With top names like Lush, Boots, Cult Beauty and Lookfantastic already dropping details, this year’s offering looks bigger and better than ever. If you’re hoping to unwrap a beauty surprise every morning in the countdown to Christmas, now’s the time to shop before they sell out...
