Holiday lovers, listen up, because you’re not going to want to miss this. Aldi is rolling out all kinds of fun Advent calendars for 2022 to help you count down to the holidays with some speciality wine, cheese, beer, hard seltzer, and more. And with over 30 food, drink, decor, and toy calendars to choose from, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Even your pets can join in on the fun, y’all.

Aldi has its mind on decking the halls — or at least counting down to decking the halls. The brand gave its first glimpse into the beloved Advent calendars returning to stores via Instagram on Sept. 13, and the starter lineup included foodie faves like a wine calendar, beer calendar, and cheese calendar. But that didn’t even scratch the surface of what was to come, because the brand shared its full list of Advent calendars for 2022 on Nov. 2, and with exciting options like the Lego Star Wars Advent Calendar, Huntington Home Candle Advent Calendar, and Pure Being Dog Advent Calendar, now you can count down to the big day with more than just food.

If Aldi’s Advent calendars have been an essential part of your holiday celebrations for a while, you’ll probably recognize these edible holiday countdowns, because some of them, like the wine and cheese calendars, have been around since 2018. And if you haven’t celebrated the season with a calendar before, there are plenty of options to jumpstart your new tradition, including a home candle calendar, Lego sets, and so much more.

How To Get Aldi Advent Calendars

Advent calendars are available for purchase in-stores, but if you can’t squeeze in an Aldi run during the week, you may want to check Instacart for delivery. At the time of publication, Aldi wasn’t able to confirm whether the calendars would be available for Instacart delivery. BTW, the calendars are only available while supplies last and prices may vary by store, so even though you won’t be able to crack open your cal until December, you might want to grab the Advent calendar that speaks to you before it’s too late.
