Advent calendars really take me back! The ones with the little chocolates were truly one of my favorite parts of the holiday season when I was little. And they’ve definitely come such a long way since the 90s. These days you can find advent calendars filled with anything from wine and cheese to puzzles and stationery. Love it all. Below are my favorite advent calendars for 2026. Some come pre-filled with goodies, and others are meant for you to fill yourself!

Sage & Clare has stunning advent calendars this year! The Maribel Quilted Advent Calendar is so whimsical.
The Meri Meri x Liberty Advent Village is covered in the prettiest floral patterns.
If there ever was an advent calendar made for stationery lovers like us, it’s Papier’s 24 Day Advent Calendar. It’s also available in a 12 Day Advent Calendar design! We’ll take one of each, please.
