The holidays offer no shortage of festive desserts. And yet, when someone says “Would you like to ensure that you have even more chocolate every day in the month of December?” the answer should undoubtably be yes! Hence the genius of the chocolate advent calendar. It gives you the perfect, one-bite taste of chocolate, giving you just a little something to look forward to every day leading up to Christmas.
But not all chocolate advent calendars are the same, and it’s very easy to grab whatever is at the grocery store. While those may be fine (because, in the end, it’s still chocolate!), you can do better. These are our favorite chocolate advent calendars of 2021. Some are filled with high-end, luxurious chocolate — because you deserve to indulge yourself with the best. Others are filled with nostalgic childhood favorites, like Hershey’s and M&Ms. Still others have fun, holiday packaging that will make you happy looking at while they’re sitting in the pantry. And there will likely be more available as we get closer to the holidays, too. ( for example, has not yet released its 2021 advent calendar, and they’re always one of our favorites.)
