Anthropologie Holiday Collection Beauty Advent Calendar

Anthropologie's advent calendar sells out every year, and for good reason. The 24-day box retails for a third of its value price and is full of winter beauty goodies like a rich cleansing balm I swear by to take my makeup off and a perfect perfume if you want a light scent that mimics the smell of your skin. It's all housed in a sweet-feeling illustrated box designed by Nephthys Foster.

Charlotte Tilbury Charlotte's Beauty Treasure Chest of Love

Charlotte Tilbury's Charlotte's Beauty Treasure Chest of Love is our pick for the best viral advent calendar. Here's why: not only is the 12-day calendar housed in a glamorous little red box, but the products inside—a quarter of which are full-sized—are worth buying all by themselves. The Lip Cheat lip pencil, beloved by Phoebe Dynevor, and the Beauty Light Wand, used by Madison Beer (and legions of fans on TikTok), are inside.

Augustinus Bader The 12 Days of Bader Advent Calendar

There is so much to love about this Augustinus Bader advent calendar. Its contents include products used by dozens of celebrities, and the price compared to what the full-size products retail for is a bargain. For reference, one bottle of The Rich Cream—used and adored by Hailey Bieber and Demi Moore—can run you $300, and that's just one of the 12 deluxe-sized samples in this kit. Others include the eye patches I used on my wedding day and the brand's classic The Cream, priced at just under $200.

Liberty's Beauty Advent Calendar is iconic year after year. For 2024, it returns with a selection of 28 products, 18 of which are full-sized.

Highlights inside include the Sunday Riley Good Genes Serum, a favorite of mine when my dull skin could use a revamp, and the OUAI Detox clarifying shampoo.

This 12-day calendar from the line, though, makes it easy for me to stock up on the products I've been stealing from my mom for nearly two decades, like the Moisturizing Soft Cream and the Eye Concentrate. Also, do not overlook the Lip Balm included here—it's the only lip balm that has soothed my dry, cracked lips back to full health in the winter.
