Has anyone in the history of time ever been SO excited for a countdown than the people of 2020?! We’re ready, folks. Ready for the holidays and all they bring — food, family, and a reason to celebrate. Traditionally, an Advent calendar is a special way to countdown to the days of Advent and the anticipation of Christmas. In more recent years, we’ve seen Advent calendars in all kinds of categories — from beauty to foodie. We took it upon ourselves to find the best advent calendars for 2020, no matter if you’re a kid or an adult!
Here’s a rundown of what we’ve got below:

That’s because beauty advent calendars are often filled with samples of high-end products at a serious discount. Don’t sleep on these — here is where you’ll find the best deals on products you’ve always wanted to try.
Keepsake Advent Calendars: These are classic and beautiful advent calendars that you can reuse year after year. Fill them up with treats, a holiday bucket list, notes, or any special thing you can think of!
Handmade Advent Calendars: Much like the keepsakes, these are reusable but with a handmade and/or DIY element.
