The holiday countdown has begun!! 🎉 Please use this thread to share your advent calendar unboxings. 🎁

Whether you open all the doors to your calendar at once, or you open a box one day at a time and follow the traditional schedule (e.g., 24 day unboxing beginning on 12.1 and 12-day calendar unboxing beginning 12.13 or 12.25), WELCOME!!

For those of us who just can't wait to see what goodies are in our advent calendars, if you will be opening all the doors/boxes at once before the end of the season, please consider hiding your unboxing posts behind a spoiler tab so those who want to be surprised day by day can still do so.

Other News:

Sephora UK opened its waitlist for this year's advent calendar open now, presale 9/3 and launch in mid-October. The advent calendar for the UK has historically been much grander than the ones offered in the US. No news on when (or if) Sephora US will have an advent calendar this year, but if the roll out of the UK version is an indication, perhaps we might see or hear something next month?

Previous Info:

Advent Calendar Info (8.17.2025)

If purchasing advent calendars from companies/businesses outside of the US, please be mindful that some retailers will provide a price that includes all charges and fees, including customs, duties and tariffs, and other retailerswhose prices will not include all such information.

Thank you to @caitbird @danielledanielle @Samtian for sharing about a few of these advent calendars.

Normally, I'm like "too early", but I want goodies, 😂 @itsfi

Thanks for starting this!

itsfi · ‎08-18-2025

I think it’s early for them to come out (even earlier than usual) @danielledanielle - I mean, I haven’t even seen a pumpkin patch pop up yet. I keep seeing more and more notifications and ads for them, and it seems like some have them available now, and not just for presale. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Will have to start whittling down which ones I’ll pass on and which are the front runners for me this year.
