What’s better than getting a bite-size piece of bad chocolate every night? Opening one of these Advent calendars and getting a delicious drink instead. Each is packed with either 12 or 24 bottles of wine, beer and hard seltzer.

You might be familiar with wine Advent calendars because of the exceedingly popular versions from Aldi and Costco. And while Costco’s is already in stores, Aldi’s calendar set to drop on November 3, 2021.

But, if you don’t want to deal with the crowds or you missed out on purchasing one, don’t worry. We have you covered with these beer, hard seltzer and wine Advent calendars you can order online.

Celebrate the festival of lights with a new brew each evening. But this calendar goes beyond offering craft cans.

Beer is one of the best gifts you can give someone, but if you really like the person, treat them to more than one. Give Them Beer began creating American craft brew gift baskets in 2013, launching their Advent calendar in 2017. This year’s edition features a festive box decorated with a Santa toasting with a stein. But it’s what’s inside that counts. Recipients can expect a dozen craft cans from brewers like Golden Monkey, Bell’s, Fancy Papers and more.
