With the tail end of the year here, there’s one blowout we’re all looking forward to. No, not Halloween or Bonfire Night - these are mere distractions before the glittery season of December and by association, Christmastime. Excitement is already building as some of our favourite brands have begun releasing their advent calendars for the season.
While those traditional chocolate-filled boxes will always have a special place in our heart, adult versions come with suitably adult treats - yes, we’re talking tipples. Boozy advent calendars are wildly popular amongst beer, wine and spirits drinkers and these days there are options to suit every palate and pocket. They’re second only to beauty advent calendars in terms of covetability.
And with good reason: what better way to live up to the Yuletide directive of ‘eat, drink and be merry’ than by enjoying a wee dram every evening until December 25? If you’re on this page, we may well be preaching to the choir. You’re probably already up for the idea of a drinks-laden calendar: what you need are options. So to help, we’ve grouped the best boozy advent calendars to buy in 2024 across every category: think sparkling wine , red and white vino, craft beer, whisky , gin , rum , tequila and the more miscellaneous cocktails that come with mixology kit, recipes and garnish ideas to impress your crowd.
Before we dive in, a word to the wise: if you see one that’s up your street, don’t hang around. These boxes sell like ho.
