Specialty advent calendars now replace traditional chocolate with items like mini cocktails, caviar, lipstick and cheese. Multiple London-brand calendars were evaluated and MOTH's Cocktail Advent Calendar emerged as the top pick for the Christmas 2025 countdown. Priced at £79, the calendar contains 24 ready-made, bar-strength cocktails in 125–200ml cans, including margaritas, espresso martinis, cosmopolitans and piña coladas. Ten golden cans hidden across thousands of calendars win £1,000 worth of cocktails, with winners required to submit a video to claim. Other notable options include a science calendar for kids, an artisan cheese calendar, and an affordable luxury tea calendar.
"For £79, behind its doors are 24 ready-made cocktails ranging from 125ml to 200ml, including margaritas, espresso martinis, cosmopolitans and piña coladas. Liv Kelly, Time Out staff writer and chief advent calendar judge, said: ' 's 24-door cocktail cal is one hell of a way to celebrate the run-up to Christmas. Not only does it include 24 bar-strength cocktails, but open a door to find a golden can and you'll be the winner of the company's comp to win £1,000 worth of cocktails.'"
"Other special mentions in our roundup of advent calendars went to the Science Advent Calendar Volume 2 (the best for kids), the Artisan Cheese Advent Calendar from Paxton & Whitfield (best for foodies) and the Teamakers of London Luxury Tea Advent Calendar (best for a budget).
