Beauty advent calendars for the 2025 holiday season are already shoppable, and Harper's Bazaar editors have ranked 11 of them — with Dior, Sisley Paris and Byredo fielding some of the largest box counts at 24 to 25 days.

Harper's Bazaar, which notes it may earn commission on items readers buy, published its selections early, signaling a retail calendar that keeps moving further ahead of the holidays themselves.

Glow Recipe leads with K-beauty skincare. The brand's 12-day Advent features several Korean beauty-inspired best-sellers, including the Avocado Ceramide Moisture Barrier Cleanser, PDRN + Repair and Soothe Toner Pads, and Sun Glow Niacinamide Hue Drops.

Charlotte Tilbury's 2026 Advent calendar is in high demand. According to the magazine, "everybody's trying to get their hands" on it. The calendar packs full- and travel-size skincare and makeup, among them the Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray, Pillow Talk Lip Cheat and the celebrity-loved Charlotte's Magic Cream moisturizer.

Dior's 30 Avenue Montaigne holds 24 prestige pieces. Inspired by founder Christian Dior's affinity for stars and constellations, it spans makeup, skincare and a scented candle. Minis include J'adore Intense parfum, Sauvage eau de toilette, Dior Addict Lip Maximizer and Capture Le Sérum.

Sisley Paris goes to 25 days. The illustrated box, which Harper's Bazaar says is worth keeping after unboxing, carries skincare such as Sisleÿa L'Intégral Anti-Âge Firming Concentrated Serum and Black Rose Skin Infusion Cream, plus the Phyto-Lip Twist and Izia eau de parfum.

Maison Margiela stays cozy. Its calendar holds travel-size Replica eau de toilettes — Jazz Club, By the Fireplace, Lazy Sunday — alongside two mini candles and a hand cream.

Benefit ships a handbag-shaped calendar. The hotel-inspired box contains 24 days of minis, including Benetint, The Porefessional and Precisely, My Brow Wax.

Tatcha's 12-day Advent just launched. It includes viral favorites the Dewy Skin Cream and Water Cream in mini format, plus the Rice Polish, Brightening Eye Cream and Melting Lip Balm.

Byredo's collectible 25-day set adds hardware. Gypsy Water, Blanche and Bal d'Afrique absolu de parfums come with Tree House mini candles and branded objects: a wick trimmer, a hair brush and a long-wearing lipstick.

Carolina Herrera goes red and gold. Twelve days of fragrance and makeup include Good Girl Blush and La Bomba eau de parfums.

L'Occitane targets the body-care buyer. The calendar mixes Shea Butter Ultra Rich Body Cream and Almond Shower Oil with spa-level cleansers and exfoliators such as Verbena Shower Gel and Almond Crunchy Muesli Scrub.

Victoria's Secret ties into its 2026 Fashion Show. The 12-day collection carries Bombshell staples, from Shimmer Fragrance Mist and eau de parfums to plumping lip gloss and peony-scented hand cream.

For brands, the takeaway is that advent calendars now function as full-product-line showcases — mixing viral minis with collectibles and full sizes — and they are selling well before December even approaches.
