5 Weirdly Cute Advent Calendar This Christmas

The countdown to Christmas doesn't have to be filled with chocolate; instead, peruse this selection of the greatest novelty advent calendars, which includes rum advent calendars, tea calendars, beauty calendars, and more.

Unusual advent calendars have become very popular in the last few years, as people start to think outside the box when it comes to gifts and the holiday season in general. Chocolate advent calendars are great for kids and more than a few adults, but as more and more of us think of advent calendars as treats for adults, novelty calendars with everything from gin to chili have flooded the market.

An advent calendar is a great way to get ready for the holiday season. It can also be a thoughtful gift for a friend or family member, especially if you can find a novelty calendar that fits their interests.

Of course, you can also buy a luxury advent calendar later in December, when many of them sell for less money. You can get all the good stuff for a small fraction of the price.

Here is a list of the best non-traditional advent calendars on the market this year.
