The Best Beauty Advent Calendars of 2025: A Luxurious Countdown to Christmas
This year's Beauty Advent Calendar by Liberty is quite the showstopper. For the third year in a row, the department store collaborated with Illustrator Clym Evernden to produce yet another iconic, collectable design featuring technicolour Christmas scenes in and around the beloved Tudor building. It includes 26 products from the likes of Ex Nihilo, Jones Road, Lisa Eldridge, Augustinus Bader and more. Plus, buyers will get the chance to find one of 15 lucky golden tickets inside, which equates to an eye-watering £1,000 voucher to spend at Liberty.

The 8 Boots advent calendars shoppers race to buy every year, from Ted Baker to Soap & Glory
We have a feeling these won't stay in stock for long. Over the past week, several major retailers have already unveiled their beauty advent calendars for Christmas 2025 - and we have to admit, it's sparked a level of festive excitement we didn't expect to feel this early in the year. For starters, Harrods has opened pre-orders on both its The Harrods Beauty Advent Calendar 2025 (£250) and The Harrods 12 Days of Hair & Body Advent Calendar (£99). Other sought-after luxury calendars that we predict will drop soon include Liberty's Beauty Advent Calendar and Fortnum & Mason's Beauty Advent Calendar, so it's safe to say that things are moving quickly in the advent calendar department. However, if you're looking for an affordable beauty advent calendar that still delivers on value, Boots has just begun releasing this year's selection, and most are priced under £50. Shoppers are always quick to get their hands on Ted Baker's 24 Days of Treats – bursting with a mix of deluxe, full-size and limited edition picks designed to pamper you from head-to-toe. Soap & Glory's brand-new 24-day advent calendar, The House of Glory, is also another popular pick. This year, it's packed with products worth £92 (more than double its retail price of £48) and features a pampering surprise behind each door, including the brand's special edition Berry & Bright scent. To be first in line and secure a beauty advent calendar from Boots this year, before they inevitably sell out, take a look at our favourites that are available to shop now. 👉 The beauty advent calendars worth buying from Boots

Soap and Glory's budget-friendly advent calendar is back at Boots and it's worth over £90
Soap and Glory have unveiled their House of Glory advent calendar for 2025 and it's filled with 24 days of beauty products, which could work out at £2 each - here's what's inside Those who believe that Christmas starts in August (or simply prefer to spread the cost of festive spending) are in for a treat, because beauty advent calendars are already dropping left, right and centre. Soap and Glory are one of the brands that has hit shelves early with their House of Glory offering, which could see customers snap up stocking fillers for £2 each. Soap and Glory has become a holiday hallmark in the UK. Its pink aesthetic and stunning scents have made their products a go-to for gifting year after year. And their advent calendar is no different. Packed with 24 days of beauty and bath-time indulgence, it's retailing at £48, with a claimed value of £92. Inside, shoppers can expect a merry mix of signature favourites, pampering minis, and seasonal exclusives spanning bodycare, skincare and fragrance. 'I'm trying to cut down my alcohol intake and this 99p low-calorie drink converted me' Harrods beauty advent calendar returns after fragrance one sold out in 48 hours At £48 for 24 products, that breaks down to £2 per item, which is a budget-friendly price point considering the inclusion of full-sized face masks, 50ml body butters, and two rollerball perfumes. Shoppers can expect a well-rounded tour of Soap and Glory's best sellers, with a few seasonal surprises thrown in. While Soap and Glory has launched their countdown particularly early, a number of other brands have opened up their waitlists in anticipation of eager, early shoppers. The Cult Beauty Advent Calendar often sells out quickly, and for 2025 boasts a value of more than £1,100, featuring 20 full sized products and 16 of this year's hottest launches. It's said to be 'bigger and bolder than ever' with more makeup products than in previous years. House of Glory Beauty Advent Calendar £92.00 £48.00 Boots Buy here And Harrods has also launched their pre-orders this morning. Retailing at £250, this premium countdown contains 32 high end products, with 14 full-sized items from revered and celebrity-loved brands like La Mer, La Prairie, Augustinus Bader, and Medik8. But the real value will all come down to personal preference, so it's always worth checking out the full contents before hitting 'add to cart'.

Oz Original Pink Bath Fizzer 50 G E Net Wt, 1.7 Oz. Berry & Bright Candle 30g E Net Wt. 1 Oz One of the biggest bonuses of the calendar is that it's a great self-care countdown to the big day, but it's also ideal for splitting into mini gift sets for friends, teachers, or colleagues, creating DIY beauty hampers or for using as stocking fillers that won't break the bank. However, for those who have purchased the calendar previously, it might feel a little bit repetitive and there are some notable absences of some of the brand's latest launches, like Vanilla-licious or Cherry Wild. For me, it feels like a slightly missed opportunity to truly showcase the brand's portfolio. Still, The House of Glory delivers on festive fun, pampering goodness, and plenty of pink products to fill the bathroom cabinets with. It's available at Boots from August 6, with more brands expected to launch their calendars in the coming weeks.

Harrods beauty advent calendar returns after fragrance one sold out in 48 hours
The luxury haul contains premium brands like Medik8, Augustinus Bader, La Mer and more To anyone who thought it was too early to think about Christmas, Harrods is proving them wrong. The luxury retailer has officially launched preorders for its highly anticipated 2025 Beauty Advent Calendar, and it's guaranteed to be a sell-out. It comes two days after a successful pre-launch of the brand's sought-after fragrance advent calendar, which has completely sold out in less than 48 hours. Shoppers can expect the beauty version to be equally as popular. Retailing at £250, this premium countdown contains 32 high end products, with 14 full-sized items from revered and celebrity-loved brands like La Mer, La Prairie, Augustinus Bader, and Medik8. While Harrods hasn't released the exact value of the haul this year, by my calculations, it's around the £1,500 mark. 'I'm trying to cut down my alcohol intake and this 99p low-calorie drink converted me' 'My no-iron, bloat-friendly FatFace dress is a must-have for your holiday suitcase' As for the 'cost per product', it works out to £7.81 per item. This is made more impressive when you consider that several of the full-sized products alone retail for significant sums themselves. For example, the MZ SKIN Soothe & Smooth Eye Complex 14ml is worth £110, while the La Mer Crème de la Mer Moisturizing Cream 15ml is worth £85 and the Augustinus Bader The Face Oil 10ml is worth £76, so it's not hard to see how quickly the value racks up. While Harrods has hit the ground running into the festive season going particularly early with their pre-orders, a number of other brands have opened up their waitlists in anticipation of eager, early shoppers. For those who enjoy a little luxury, the Liberty Beauty Advent Calendar is a solid alternative. Having sold out 10 years in a row, this year's beauty advent calendar is worth £1,245 and includes 30 iconic beauty finds, including 20 full size, plus a unique Ianthe print drawstring bag all for £275. The Cult Beauty Advent Calendar often sells out quickly, and for 2025 boasts a value of more than £1,100, featuring 20 full sized products and 16 of this year's hottest launches. It's said to be 'bigger and bolder than ever' with more makeup products than in previous years. But the real value will all come down to personal preference, so it's always worth checking out the full contents before hitting 'add to cart'. Here's everything inside the 2025 Harrods beauty advent calendar: Laura Mercier Black Caviar Extravagant Mascara 8.5g (Full Size) La Prairie Foam Cleanser 50ml (Travel Size) Medik8 Crystal Retinal 6 30ml (Full Size) Rodial Frosted Pink Blush Drops & Bronze Glowlighter 15ml (Full Size) and 2g (Deluxe Mini) Evidens De Beaute The Special Mask 30ml (Travel Size) Davines OI All In One Milk 50ml (Travel Size) Shiseido FSLX Total Regenerating Cream 15ml (Travel Size) Sisley Floral Toning Lotion 100ml (Travel Size) Beautifect Beauty Blender 1pc (Full Size) Hourglass Veil Translucent Setting Powder 2g (Travel Size) U beauty Resurfacing Compound 15ml (Travel Size) La Mer Crème de la Mer 15ml (Full Size) Bobbi Brown Taupe Long Wear Cream Eye Shadow Stick 1.6g (Full Size) 111SKIN Cyro Sheet Mask 1pc (Full Size) Christophe Robin Cleansing Purifying Scrub & Regenerating Mask 40ml & 75ml (Travel Size) Cle De Peau UV Protective Cream 8ml (Travel Size) Etat Libre D'Orange Uruk 10ml (Travel Size) Skin Cycles Lip Balm 0.5ml (Full Size) Lancaster Ligne Princière Cream & Ligne Princière Serum 15ml & 7.5ml (Travel Size & Deluxe Mini) Valmont Votre Visage L'Elixir Face Cream 15ml (Travel Size) Augustinus Bader The Face Oil 10ml (Travel Size) Moncho Moreno Bond J' aime Bond 100ml (Travel Size) MZ SKIN Hydra-Bright Gold Eye Mask 1pc (Full Size) MZ SKIN Vitamin Infused Meso Eye Mask 1pc (Full Size) MZ SKIN Soothe & Smooth Hyaluronic Brightening Eye Complex 14ml (Full Size) Champo Pitta Lash Serum 4ml & Pitta Brow Serum 4ml (Full Size x 2) Tatcha Indigo Overnight Repair 15ml (Travel Size) Mac Ruby Woo Macximal Sleek Satin Lipstick 3.8g (Full Size) As a beauty writer who has written about and unboxed countless beauty advent calendars in recent years, I know a thing or two about the festive hauls. When it comes to Harrods, the retailer is well known for curating its calendar with indulgent, aspirational beauty, with few other brands cramming this much high-end skincare into their offering. There's a good variety as haircare, skincare, body, makeup and fragrance are all covered, but it does lean skincare-heavy, with over 50% of the contents sitting within the category. At £250, it's definitely one of the more expensive options on the market, with some more affordable calendars expected to launch in the coming months. For anyone seeking a slightly smaller slice of luxury at a lower price point, Harrods is also offering The Harrods 12 Days of Hair & Body Advent Calendar 2025 for £99. It's more affordable, albeit with fewer products and less variety, but the brands are impressive, with 18 products from Sol de Janeiro, Ouai, Vieve and more. The Harrods Beauty Advent Calendar 2025 is designed to impress and is expected to sell out quickly. It's available to pre-order exclusively at Harrods, with delivery expected from August 20.

The Harrods Beauty Advent Calendar sold out in days last year - don't miss your chance to pre-order now
It works out to just £7.80 per item, and we predict it will sell out fast. We're only a few days into August, and yes – we're already talking about this year's beauty advent calendars. But there's good reason. Last year, many of the most coveted and best value options sold out quickly. The Harrods Beauty Advent Calendar, for example, disappeared swiftly after its official launch in September, while the retailer's 12 Days of Fragrance Advent Calendar sold out during the pre-order period, making them some of last year's most sought-after Christmas countdowns. Luckily for us, Harrods has just opened its pre-orders on Tuesday 5 August. Yes, we know it's early, but if you don't want to miss out on an unbeatable luxurious countdown to Christmas, we'd snap yours up now. The 2025 Harrods Beauty Advent Calendar is one of the most sought-after calendars, packed with luxury products at a much lower price. Luxury brands such as La Mer, Augustinus Bader, MZ Skin, Sisley, Hourglass, and more feature, making this an excellent chance to try a wide range of high-end beauty products. It features a total of 32 indulgent items, including 14 full-size products. Highlighting some of the year's most sought-after launches, cult favourites, and celebrity beauty secrets, it offers everything from skin-soothing serums to restorative face masks, transformative make-up to aromatic essentials. Price-wise, nothing has changed – this year's calendar costs £250 (the same as what it was in 2024). However, it now comes with a huge 32 items, which is seven more than last year's version. The calendar works out at just £7.80 per product, which is an absolute bargain considering the popular La Mer's Créme de la Mer inside costs £85 alone, and the most expensive product costs a whopping £110. Pre-order now The MZ SKIN Soothe & Smooth Hyaluronic Brightening Eye Complex, which is worth an astonishing £110, has been described by shoppers as "magically effective", and "life changing". Using tri-peptides to stimulate collagen and elastin, it works to tackle fine lines and wrinkles and reduce dark circles and puffiness, and it costs almost half the price of this entire beauty advent calendar. If this isn't enough of a reason to splurge on The Harrods Beauty Advent Calendar, we don't know what is! Another premium skincare pick is the full-size Medik8's Crystal Retinal 6, worth £69 for a 30ml tube. This award-winning formula promises to visibly smooth stubborn wrinkles, brighten dark spots, and decongest and firm the skin. Our own Shopping Contributor, Louise Whitbread, even says it's the one skincare product she can't be without. Other high-end picks that you probably wouldn't usually splurge on include the Augustinus Bader The Face Oil, a 30ml bottle is usually £210, which makes the 15ml bottle inside the Harrods calendar worth £105. What's inside The Harrods Beauty Advent Calendar 2025? Laura Mercier Black Caviar Extravagant Mascara 8.5g – Full Size, Worth £25 La Prairie Foam Cleanser 50ml Medik8 Crystal Retinal 6 30ml – Full Size, Worth £69 Rodial Frosted Pink Blush Drops 15ml – Full Size, Worth £39 Rodial Bronze Glowlighter 15ml EviDens de Beaute The Special Mask 30ml Davines OI All in One Milk 50ml Shiseido FSLX Total Regenerating Cream 15ml Sisley Floral Toning Lotion 100ml – Full Size, Worth £57 Beautifect Beauty Blender – Full Size, Worth £13 Hourglass Veil Translucent Setting Powder 2g U Beauty Resurfacing Compound 15 ml La Mer Créme de la Mer 15ml Bobbi Brown Taupe Long Wear Cream Eye Shadow Stick 1.6g – Full Size, Worth £29.50 111SKIN Cryo Sheet Mask – Full Size, Worth £19 Christophe Robin Cleansing Purifying Scrub 40ml Christophe Robin Regenerating Mask 75ml Cle de Peau UV Protective Cream 8ml Etat Libre D'Orange Uruk 10ml Skin Cycles Lasting Lips Tint SPF 10ml – Full Size, Worth £55 Lancaster Ligne Princière Cream 15ml Lancaster Ligne Princière Serum 7.5ml Valmont Votre Visage L'Elixir Face Cream 15ml Augustinus Bader The Face Oil 15ml Moncho Moreno Bonde J'aime Bond 100ml MZ SKIN Hydra Bright Gold Eye Mask 1pc – Full Size, Worth £22 MZ SKIN Vitamin Infused Meso Eye Mask 1pc – Full Size, Worth £22 MZ SKIN Soothe & Smooth Hyaluronic Brightening Eye Complex 14ml – Full Size, Worth £110 Chāmpo Pitta Lash Serum 4ml – Full Size, Worth £38 Chāmpo Pitta Brown Serum 4ml – Full Size, Worth £32 Tatcha Indigo Overnight Repair 15ml Mac Ruby Woo Macximal Sleek Satin Lipstick 3.8G – Full Size, Worth £21 Ensuring your make-up remains on point over the festive season you'll also find inside a Bobbi Brown Taupe Long Wear Cream Eye Shadow Stick (£29.50), Hourglass's Veil Translucent Setting Powder and Mac Ruby Woo Macximal Sleek Satin Lipstick (£21) and Skin Cycles Lasting Lips Tint (£55). With so many incredible products packed inside, one thing is certain: if you want to get your hands on the Harrods Beauty Advent Calendar, you'll need to move fast as it's bound to sell out very soon. Pre-order now: The Harrods Beauty Advent Calendar 2025 | £250 from Harrods Pre-order now Joining the beauty advent calendar line-up is The Harrods 12 Days of Hair & Body Advent Calendar – a more budget-friendly option. This year's edition has nine full-size heroes, such as Ouai's Hair Gloss and Chāmpo's Pitta Growth Serum, aimed to nurture you from head-to-toe. It even includes a voucher for your next blow-dry from Drybar. Alongside this, the luxury department store has also launched this year's The Harrods 12 Days of Fragrance Advent Calendar. Perfect for fragrance fans, it features 12 perfumes for £215, including seven full-size fragrances and four Harrods worldwide exclusives. Among the 12 doors you'll find a selection of men's, women's and unisex fragrances. However, in-app pre-orders opened just 24 hours ago on Monday 4 August, and they sold out by 5pm the same day. We're patiently waiting for a speedy restock. Harrods is the first major retailer to release this year's beauty advent calendar and open pre-orders, but others have hinted to launches later this August. Here's everything we know so far about the best beauty advent calendars for 2025.
