Hurry! Bonne Maman’s Advent Calendar Is Here (and You’ll Want at Least 2)

Summer is at its peak right now, but little hints of the hygge season ahead are starting to pop up in stores and online. In addition to all the cute Halloween decor that’s creeping onto shelves, Bonne Maman just dropped its best-selling advent calendar for the ninth year in a row — and you need to run, not walk, to ensure you get this coveted Christmas gifting essential before it sells out.

Priced at $54.99, or just $2.29 per pot, Bonne Maman’s advent calendar is slightly more expensive than last year’s $45 offering. However, it’s still a cost-effective way to try a bunch of high-quality spreads, jams, and preserves (all of which are made without high-fructose corn syrup, artificial colors, or preservatives). Some of this year’s tasty limited-edition flavors include Strawberry with Passion Fruit Spread, Mango and Ginger Spread, Caramel Spread with Coffee, and, what I’m guessing will be my personal favorite, Pear and Mandarin with Cinnamon Spread.

Whether you’re shopping for a discerning holiday party host, your Martha Stewart and Ina Garten-loving best friend, or even a White Elephant party full of foodies, this beautifully decorated advent calendar from the beloved French preserves brand has 24 mini gifts inside for under $55.

One of the best parts of the advent calendar is that the packaging is also pretty enough to display. The vintage-inspired design shows a nostalgic holiday scene set against the backdrop of a snowy winter wonderland. In addition to a large Christmas tree covered in twinkling lights and wee Bonne Maman preserves ornaments with wrapped presents underneath, little nutcrackers can be seen sledding on the frozen lake, riding reindeers, and, of course, bringing more little jam pots to put under the tree. 

Bonne Maman only sells this advent calendar once a year, and unsurprisingly, it always sells out with lots of rave reviews on its website. Happy shoppers have called the calendar the “most wonderful gift imaginable” and a “sheer joy” for the recipients. 

One person revealed that while their mom had initially scolded them for the expensive gift, it was “the first thing on her Christmas list” this year. Plus, once the jams are finished, the person you gave the calendar to can repurpose the little glass jars for everything from crafting supply storage to liquid travel containers.

You might not be thinking ahead to Christmas lists, but considering the hype, you’ll want to grab a Bonne Maman advent calendar (or a few) before they’re gone — and start thinking ahead to the lucky recipients.
