The 2026 beauty advent calendar season is starting to build, and I’ll be updating this guide as soon as new launches are confirmed. Below you’ll find everything currently announced or expected, plus the key calendars worth watching this year.

  • Amazon is worth including – a really good one from them, nice selection of decent brands for £50, still available at the time of writing.

    Looking forward to hearing about the Space NK advent calendar. They seem to have left the release of their Christmas range really late this year, and are keeping the details firmly under wraps.

  • Hi, just wanted to let you know the Jo Malone Advent Calendar and their whole Christmas range is available now on their website! I’ve just purchased mine 🙂

  • Hi! This is a great post, I love this time of year awaiting the advent calendar season. I have pre ordered the Elle calendar and couldn’t see this in the list. It’s available to buy from tomorrow. I hope this helps. X

  • I just saw that NARS are doing one this year. It is available in the US for the moment, will launch in UK in November.

  • I spoke to an assistant in the beauty department at a large branch of M&S at the weekend. Apparently the production run on their calendars was 690,000 this year. This was actually a reduction on the previous year as M&S want them to sell out quickly to increase their desirability and keep a degree of exclusivity. They were completely sold out nationally over a week ago.

  • 25 Oct 2020: Just tried to use the 20% off Elemis code, but the Elemis website says it isn’t valid 🙁
    Did I miss it already?
    Thanks for your fab website tho!

    • It should still work but there are exclusions – what were you trying to buy? xx

      • Aaha, of course! I had a high basket total, but I was buying travel-size products.
        I’ve now tried the code with a standard-size product, and it works.
        Thank you Ree

  • Do you have any details at all on the Charlotte Tilbury advent calendar for this year at all?
    Thank you xx

  • This is the best and most thorough beauty advent calendar review and information source I’ve seen yet! Thanks so much for putting this together!!! SO helpful!
