Beavertown Advent Calendar

North London’s favourite brewery has just dropped what will likely be the best beer advent calendar of 2023. This hefty collection contains 24 of the brand’s much-loved brews, from the fan-favourites Neck Oil and Gamma Ray to some exclusive, unexpected stouts and porters. There’s even a special tumbler thrown in for good measure.

NIO Cocktail Advent Calendar

Pre-mixed cocktails might be one of the more desperate purchases you made back in the pandemic years, but Nio’s ready-to-drink blends are good enough to have outlasted lockdown.

Created in collaboration with acclaimed mixologist Patrick Pistolesi, each single-serve pouch is designed to be poured straight into a glass, ready to clink.

Thoughtfully, the brand’s advent calendar is designed with sharing in mind: behind each door you’ll find two drinks, be it the classic dry martini or a Cuban negroni. And thankfully, there are absolutely no festive chocolate horrors in store (the Italians would never stand for that).

Fortnum & Mason Spirits & Liqueurs Advent Calendar

Alcohol advent calendars are everywhere these days, but none come close to the outrageous indulgence that Fortnum & Mason is serving up. This remarkably generous collection contains 25 properly sized (for sharing!) bottles of the iconic retailer’s very best booze.

Fortnum’s caters only for the connoisseur, so you won’t find any dodgy chocolate liqueurs here: instead, expect gin infused with honey and violet, English barley vodka, and prestige Highland scotch to sip on the big day.
