The best foodie advent calendars for Christmas 2025
1. Marks & Spencer
For young and old alike, Marks & Spencer’s annual assortment of affordable chocolate advent calendars is difficult to beat. Our top choice for 2025 from the good folk at M&S is the Chocolate Shop Advent Calendar (HKD199). We love the vertical design of this charming calendar filled with 25 days of the British brand’s best-loved treats, from peanut butter and chocolate chunks, to caramel-filled buttons, to blond fudge bites. There are extra-special supersized treats in store on Christmas Day!

2. Fortnum & Mason
Fortnum & Mason’s advent calendar range seems to get better and better each year. New in 2025 for the elegant British department store is the Children’s Chocolate Advent Calendar (HKD318), which we’re sure would go down a treat with young-at-heart grown-ups too. This whimsical calendar features an interactive pop-up display element and contains 25 milk chocolate surprises, including one fashioned after St Nick himself.

3. Wine Moments
A boozy calendar option, we’re big fans of the Wine Mini Advent Calendar (HKD1,090) by online shop Wine Moments. Each of the 24 boxes holds a 100ml bottle of wine by renowned winemakers from across Europe, from white to red, light to bold, Riesling to Cabernet Sauvignon. This is the perfect calendar for the oenophile in your life.
4. Tea WG
Tea, anyone? Singapore’s beloved tea brand Tea WG has released the enchanting Twelfth Night Advent Calendar (HKD788), opening magically like a 12-chapter book. Inside, you’ll find 12 gorgeous tins of Tea WG’s signature and holiday-inspired teas, which can be repurposed as festive keepsakes.
