A few days ago a friend of mine sent me a picture of a fun wine advent calendar. My memories of an advent calendar are with chocolate or figurines, which as an adult in no way interest me. Now 24 days of wine is something I can get behind. Which made me think “Is this a thing, do they make other adult Advent calendars?” 

Today is your lucky day because my curiosity got the best of me; and I was on a quest to find the best Advent Calendars for adults. As I explored I was amazed what I found. I would like to include that I have not purchased any of these it was merely a fact finding mission that I wanted to share. 

Spirits Advent

Heritage Distilling 

This has a combination of 11 different Bourbon, Rye, Gin and Vodkas in 50 ml bottles, one for each of the 24 days of Christmas.

Hot Sauce Advent

BYOB Hot Sauce

If you like the show Hot Ones this may be the advent for you.  25 different hot sauces in 2 oz bottles all with catchy Christmas themed names. The hot sauces include peppers like Carolina Reaper, Trinidad Scorpion, Ghost Pepper, Cayenne, Tabasco, Habanero, Banana, Anaheim, Jalapeno, Serrano, and Scotch Bonnet.

Sex and Seduction Advent

Strange Society 24 Days of Sex and Seduction

This one peaked my interest because it was so different than everything else.  It did not come with any reviews so I am not sure the overall quality of the product, but it does seem to be a very different idea.  Each little window opens up with a new sex act. According to the seller this is to keep your relationship in the right place during the busy holiday season. 

Beauty Advent

Sephora Frosted Party Advent

This advent calendar contains 24 beauty surprises. A combination of beauty, skincare, body, and accessories. Eleven of which are limited-edition beauty surprises.  I did see mixed reviews, which I think attributed more to the cost verses the sample size products you receive. I still think it would be fun to open a new product every day.

Hard Seltzer Advent

Love Hard Seltzer? This is your opportunity to try 12 different spiked seltzers. You receive top selling labels like Truly, White Claw and Henry’s as well as some small-batch hard seltzer brands. Each day will be a fun surprise.

Jerky Advent

ManVent Jerky Advent Calendar

This advent is 12 days for the adventurous carnivore. It includes assorted jerkys like Bison, Bacon, Applewood Smoked Beef, Sweet Habanero Chili Beef, Chipotle Bourbon, Whiskey BBQ Beef, Sweet Heat Beef.

Wine Advent

Ringing in the holiday with 12 days of wine. A variety of red, white and sparkling 375ml bottles (or a split of champagne). Hopefully the quality of the wines are better than the photo shopped graphic above. I do think I like the idea of the 24 bottles that Macy’s was selling may be a better deal.

Beer Advent

This advent is for the beer lover. Twelve Craft Beers in 12 ounce cans. It includes a variety of IPAs, Stouts, Ales and Porters.

Overall I was really surprised by how many different adult advent calendars were available. I think it would be a fun early holiday gift for yourself or a loved one.
