Make your Christmas countdown extra tasty with the help of these chocolate advent calendars.
As much as we love a good roast potato or glass of buck’s fizz, Christmas just isn’t Christmas without a whole load of chocolate.
Whether you prefer dark, milk, white or a bit of everything, there’s something about tucking into a chocolatey treat that makes things feel 100 times more festive. So, while we love a good alternative advent calendar here at Stylist, we’re also big fans of the humble chocolate advent calendar.
It may not be the flashiest option on the market when compared to the incredible beauty, jewellery and alcohol-based advent calendars available these days, but it certainly delivers.
Not only is starting every day with a miniature chocolate the perfect way to navigate December, but there are so many brilliant chocolate advent calendars on sale that you’re sure to find something that suits your individual tastes.
To help you get started, we’ve put together our pick of the best chocolate advent calendars on sale for Christmas 2022 – from an artisan selection to a selection of dairy-free options. Keep reading to check them all out.
