As the anticipation builds for the most magical season of the year, there’s no better time to be organised and decide which of the top trending kids advent calendars you want to get your hands on – ready for when they’re available. This year there are even more options to choose from and whether for yourself or as a gift for someone else, an alcohol advent calendar always proves really popular. HELLO! readers' favourites: After numerous Christmas seasons studying exactly what our readers actually buy (and love), I've been sure to include past weird advent calendar hits, especially if they've been updated for 2023. You can also find personalisable DIY versions that you fill with your own bottles and use again year after year which is a more sustainable option, as well as being curated to the individual more, meaning that the recipient is guaranteed to get something they'll love every time they open a door. We are sure you’ll agree that the build-up to a special visit from Santa is almost as special as the big day itself. But, for those little ones who can't stand the suspense, you can always gift them a fun advent calendar with little surprises that'll tide them over whilst they patiently wait for the big day.

The weirder the better. As much as I love beauty advent calendars (I buy one for myself every year), the ones that really keep my attention are those that are unusual and unexpected. Advent calendars are all about a surprise treat a day, and weird advent calendar gifts range from the hilarious to the bizarre.

No matter the tipple of choice, these alcohol advent calendars should ensure you have a very merry Christmas. We've found a variety for all budgets. Trusted brands and retailers: I don't want you to be disappointed when you shop these unusual gifts, so I've only selected advent calendars from names you trust. Ask a six year-old what the best advent calendar is and they’ll tell you it’s the one with the most chocolate. Right? Well, maybe in the 1970s. But in 2023 we have Lego advent calendars, Pokemon advent calendars and calendars filled with every kind of sweet and children’s toy you can think of. How can they possibly choose?

So, we've pulled together the ultimate guide to which advent calendars to buy this year.
