October is here which means the holiday season is close behind!

One of my favorite holiday traditions is the advent calendar. Growing up, each year I eagerly awaited December 1st so I could begin pulling numbers off of my advent calendar. As I entered adulthood, I traded out my childhood advent calendars for the adult versions. Let me tell you, alcohol and makeup make for much more fun advent calendars!

I’ve rounded up my favorite advent calendars of 2021 below. If you are contemplating ordering an advent calendar for yourself or as an early present for a loved one, I recommended ordering ASAP! Some of the advent calendars listed below are highly sought after and they will sell out!

Aldi’s advent calendar selection is on point! The only caviat? They are released on November 3rd and run out quickly! I am talking lines outside the doors before the store open! Last year I waited in line early and headed into the store right at opening time. FYI it can get a little crazy on this day. You may see people running to the advent calendars. The rush is so worth it!

3. Costco Wine ($99.99) and Beer Advent Calendars – (In stores only)

Costco also offers an excellent assortment of beverage filled advent calendars. In fact, this year I signed up for a Costco membership just so I could benefit from the holiday perks!

Check out my TikTok below of my most recent trip to Costco where I found all of this year’s advent calendars!
