If you were ever going to buy an alcohol advent calendar, this is the time. These are the best options, from beer and wine advent calendars to whiskey and DIY options, from ALDI and Costco to online retailers.
Advent calendars likely evoke fond childhood memories when for each of the 24 days before Christmas, you would receive a burst of endorphins pulling back another perforated square revealing a sweet treat.
But just because you’re all grown up, it doesn’t mean you need to forego the tradition, especially if you’re upgrading from waxy, oddly-shaped chocolates to advent adult beverages.
Whether you’re a beer lover, a wine enthusiast, or a fan of spirits, here are our favorite ways to toast the lead up to the most celebrated birthday of the year.
