Best last-minute advent calendars you can still buy in Canada in 2024 — from G-rated to X-rated
Dec. 1 is almost here! Shop the best last-minute advent calendars from Amazon, Sephora, Walmart and more.
The holiday season is just around the corner, so if you have yet to sort out your 2024 advent calendar, it's time to kick your Christmas shopping into high gear.
In 2024, there is very little you cannot find in an advent calendar, especially if you have cash to spare. Of course, those filled with candy and chocolate still exist, but beyond that, you can countdown to Christmas with help from luxury beauty products, LEGO sets and socks and even sex toy advent calendars.
As Dec. 1 is mere days away, not all of these advent calendars will arrive before the first of the month. However, if you're willing to wait a few days — or opt for a 12-day advent calendar — there are still several up for grabs (including several that are on sale for Black Friday!).
5 advent calendars that should arrive before Dec.1:
Sephora Collection Advent Calendar
Bonne Maman 2024 Limited Edition Advent Calendar
After Eight Holiday Chocolate Advent Calendar
Sephora Collection After Advent Calendar
Cadbury Advent Calendar
Voluspa 12-Day Advent Calendar
