Luxury Advent Calendars 2026: verified prices and contents

An Advent calendar from a major luxury house is now sold like a collector’s item: limited edition, a case designed to last, and contents that blend miniatures with full-sized products. The price gap is staggering, from 120 euros at Ladurée to 7,500 euros at Dior. This guide ranks the 2026 editions from most to least expensive.

The rule is simple: only 2026 calendars presented on the brand’s official website as of 11 October 2026 are included, with the retail price noted on that day, the contents announced by the house, and the release date when communicated. Prices may have changed since, and some limited editions sell out quickly.

At the top, a Dior trunk for 7,500 euros

Dior, La Malle des Rêves · €7,500

The most expensive calendar of the season is a vanity case with the air of a doll’s house. Dior offers it for 7,500 euros, in 170 numbered pieces. At its heart, a scene inspired by gingerbread showcases the Junon dress, a piece from the autumn-winter 1949 haute couture collection “Mid-Century,” next to the house’s signature medallion chair. The trunk contains 24 Dior surprises. Once emptied, it retains its mirror and 24 drawers to store jewellery and precious objects. The page on dior.com, titled “Christmas 2026 beauty Advent calendar,” allowed for orders on 11 October.

Swarovski, Annual Edition 2026 · €1,200

Here, there are no cosmetics: each of the 25 compartments reveals a crystal decoration to keep for the tree. Stars, snowflakes, moons, bells, baubles, the Kris Bear, and four Advent candles placed on a base make up the 2026 edition, dressed in gold and a white grosgrain ribbon, on the theme of the night sky. The calendar is opened for 25 days starting from 1 December. It was available online on 11 October.

Byredo, Dior, and Guerlain between 600 and 750 euros

Byredo · €715

The Swedish house brings together 25 creations in a patterned case whose interior, once opened, is a vibrant blue. It is the perfumer’s calendar with the most generous full-sized products in this selection. It notably contains a 50 ml eau de parfum, a 100 ml body mist, and a 75 ml hair perfume, featuring Bal d’Afrique, Blanche, and Mojave Ghost, as well as Bibliothèque, Tree House, and Summer Rain candles, make-up, and accessories.

Dior, Le 30 Montaigne · €690

The more accessible version from Dior features the facade of 30, avenue Montaigne, cut into a star shape. Behind the door, a small scene sculpted like gingerbread and a couture dress adorned with flowers. The 24 creations mix perfumes, make-up, skincare, and a scented candle. When opened, the box measures 52.5 cm by 50 cm.

Guerlain x Germanier, La Boîte à Bijoux · €620

Guerlain entrusted the case to couturier Kévin Germanier: midnight blue velvet, a rhinestone clasp in the shape of a G, a glittery interior, and a mirror. The 25 surprises detailed by the house include seven 10 ml L’Art & La Matière eaux de parfum, 5 ml bottles of Shalimar and L’Heure Bleue, four 15 ml Abeille Royale skincare products, a Rouge G with its jewel case, Noir G mascara, Terracotta powder, four miniature candles, and an Iris Pallida soap. The compartments can be removed to turn the box into a jewellery case.

From 327 to 450 euros, perfume and treats

Diptyque, 25 scented treasures · €450

Released online on 6 October 2026, the Diptyque calendar is inspired by a woodturner’s toolbox and the enchanted forest drawn by artist Jean-Simon Roch. It is the most detailed list of the season: 25 products, all named by the house. It includes nine candles, including Sapin and Baies in 70 g, two exclusive 10 ml eaux de parfum (Bois Corsé and Lazulio), 7.5 ml bottles of Fleur de Peau, Orphéon, Tam Dao, and Eau Rose, a Do Son hair mist, a solid perfume, and body and hand care products. Made in France, the box weighs 5.5 kg.

Jo Malone London · €450

The Christmas box from Jo Malone London hides its surprises in crackers, decorations, and Christmas stockings. 9 ml colognes (Orange Bitters, English Pear & Freesia, Ginger Biscuit), Cologne Intense (Scarlet Poppy, Myrrh & Tonka, Oud & Bergamot), travel candles, and bath products follow one another, before a 30 ml Tangerine & Honey cologne for 25 December.

YSL Beauté · €400

Sold exclusively on the brand’s website, the 2026 calendar from YSL Beauté is a lacquered burgundy case adorned with an oversized Cassandre logo. It brings together five full-sized products, including a Couture Clutch and a 50 ml Libre body balm, six perfume miniatures (Libre, Libre Berry Crush, Black Opium, Y, MYSLF, Muse), make-up, and Or Rouge skincare, plus a mirror and a kabuki brush.

Fortnum & Mason, Feasting Advent Calendar · £265

The Piccadilly department store redesigned its gourmet calendar for 2026, sold for 265 pounds sterling (327.22 euros displayed to French visitors). It contains 26 products, including 20 in standard size: Amalthea gins, chocolate and chestnut liqueur, teas, coffee, cranberry sauce, marmalade, shortbread, chocolates, and a house tea towel. Deliveries begin on 1 November 2026. From France, the site indicated that the item could not be delivered. Fortnum & Mason also sells a 2026 Beauty Advent Calendar for 275 pounds.

Under the 200 euro mark

Lindt, XXL Calendar · €199

The giant format from the Swiss chocolatier lines up 25 individual Lindt products, for 3.66 kg of chocolate. At 199 euros, it is the heaviest gourmet calendar in the selection. An XXL Teddy version, designed with the Petits Princes association, is sold for 219 euros.

Rituals, Premium Advent Calendar · €149.90

The Premium calendar from Rituals takes the form of a decorative train to keep, which carries 24 products for the body, bath, and home, including six full-sized items. The brand announces a value of 224.90 euros. On 11 October, it was displayed as temporarily unavailable on rituals.com, with a restock alert.

Ladurée, “Soleil d’Or” Pyramid · €120

Ladurée transforms its macaron pyramid into a calendar with gold and silver discs. Its 24 drawers contain 480 g of chocolates and confectionery, but no macarons: Eugénie, rochers, mendiants, orangettes, pearls, and, on 24 December, a marshmallow bear in Dulcey chocolate. The house set the release date for 1 November 2026, in boutiques and online; pre-orders, open from 1 to 31 October, included two free marshmallow bears.

Summary of 2026 prices

Twelve calendars, from 120 to 7,500 euros, all noted on the same day on the brands’ websites. The compartments and products are those announced by the houses.

The absent and the expected editions

Three big names were missing on 11 October 2026. Chanel did not present any Advent calendar on chanel.com, where a search for “calendar” returned no results. Neither did Louis Vuitton: the search on louisvuitton.com remained empty. At Pierre Hermé, the “Advent Calendars” section redirected to the homepage: the pastry chef’s 2026 edition was not yet presented, and no official price is therefore given here.

As for champagne, no calendar signed by a house could be verified on an official website on this date. Bubbles enthusiasts will turn to the great vintages rather than a countdown.

What to check before buying

Three points make the difference. The print run first: Dior announces 170 numbered trunks, and the other houses speak of limited editions without a figure. The contents next: Diptyque, Guerlain, and Jo Malone London detail every product, Dior remains discreet. Delivery finally, because not all calendars travel. The Feasting Advent Calendar from Fortnum & Mason did not deliver to France on 11 October. To extend the season, our ranking of the most expensive perfumes in the world lists the exceptional bottles from the same houses.

Prices, contents, and availability noted on 11 October 2026 on the official websites of Dior, Swarovski, Byredo, Guerlain, Diptyque, Jo Malone London, YSL Beauté, Fortnum & Mason, Lindt, Rituals, and Ladurée.
