INSANE: Im already tracking 2026 beauty advent calendar launches heres what we know so far | Vintage Vibes

The beauty advent calendars span every budget, from Penhaligon's luxe fragrance offering to M&S’s affordable lineup - (Daisy Lester/The Standard)

It might feel too soon to dig out the Christmas decorations and deck the halls at home, but it’s never too early to invest in one of the best beauty advent calendars. In fact, all the biggest brands and retailers launched their 2026 calendars in September – and some are already sold out (we’re looking at you, Harrods and Selfridges).

From Liberty and Sephora to Cult Beauty, Charlotte Tilbury, and John Lewis, the most covetable calendars swap chocolate for skincare, makeup, fragrance and haircare. A contemporary Christmas tradition for beauty lovers, their overall value far exceeds their retail price – and you’re treated to a premium gift each day of December.
