Costco Is Selling a Mini Version of This Popular Holiday Item for $16 (Grab at Least 2!)
Nothing says the holidays are right around the corner like the return of Advent calendars. And this year, they hit the shelves earlier than ever — some as early as September! Just last week, Costco brought back a mini version of a fan-favorite Advent calendar for the holidays that’s already flying off the shelves: the 12-day Bonne Maman Advent calendar.
Costco’s 12-Day Bonne Maman Advent Calendar Is Back
Fans who know and love the 24-day version of Bonne Maman’s advent calendar will be excited to see that Costco has brought back a smaller, 12-day version. For just $15.99, Costco’s version comes with 12 one-ounce gourmet jam jars in a delicious selection of flavors. It sells out quicker and quicker every year, so act fast if you’ve got your heart set on it for yourself or a loved one. Plus, this year each mini jar comes in its own adorable (resealable) gift box, so you could even give them out individually.
The 12-day set comes with a gorgeous new illustration hiding beloved spreads like fig, wild blueberry, cherry, apricot, raspberry, orange marmalade, hazelnut chocolate, honey, and other unique flavors. It’s the perfect gift for the jam-lover in your life — every jar is ready to top toast or scones, or get folded into a baked dessert. Of course it’s the perfect treat for yourself, too! (And no, you don’t have to wait until December to crack it open.)
Where to Buy This Mini Version if You Don’t Have a Costco Membership
The original editor-loved 24-jar Bonne Maman Advent calendar is a best-seller on the brand’s website, but the half-sized limited-edition set isn’t sold in as many places (and the Costco price is unbeatable at less than $1.50 per jar). You can find the same set at Walmart for $39.99, or you might opt for this 8-pack of tasty Bonne Maman preserves and honeys for $21.90 if Costco’s is sold-out or you’re not a member.
If you’re new to the Advent calendar game, then here’s a rundown of how it works: There’s a box for each of the 12 days leading up to Christmas, and behind each number is a limited-edition jar for every day. All nutrition information is on the back of the box, and each treat is made in France with no preservatives or color added, no high-fructose corn syrup, and it’s totally kosher. The jars are designed to last at least a year or two based on the printed expiration date, but I don’t blame you if you can’t even wait until December!
The best part? You can reuse the adorable jars when you’re done. Use them as storage for trinkets or keep it in your purse to hold medications, lotions, or jewelry. You could even transform them into salt and pepper shakers or a mini candle. Whatever you decide to do with them, be sure to add this find to your cart ASAP!
