It’s officially October, and while Halloween is probably occupying most of your mental space, it’s a great time to start prepping for the holidays.
If you love leading up to the 25th with sweet treats and savoury bites, there’s no better way to count down to Christmas than with a food-centric Advent calendar. While a bunch of the 2026 classics from Cadbury, After Eight, and other affordable favourites have yet to launch, there are a few you can grab early.
These Advent calendars allow you a little bit of indulgence. They ask you to lean into the flavours of the season, offering bites to suit every palate. With gourmet options and more affordable finds, you can choose your favourite way to munch through the most wonderful time of the year.
To help you find your perfect match, we’ve rounded up some of the best foodie Advent calendars to make December 2026 a little more delicious, with chocolates, spices, and gummies to snack on.
