Believe it or not, it's almost that time of year again.

The moment has finally arrived. Well, at least it's about to, and you still have a chance to participate. As much as we love jingle bells, gold ribbons, and eggnog, the holidays also bring another merry treat: advent calendars.
With 25 daily doses of surprises, choosing an advent calendar is no easy feat. In today's society, we understand that picking an advent calendar as a gift for someone or as a treat to yourself is increasingly difficult. Should I pick a beauty calendar or a fashion calendar? Would it be best to pick Dior's beauty advent calendar or Korres? Do I even have time to grab one before they completely sell out? Don't sweat it. L'OFFICIEL has created a well-rounded guide to the best ones of this holiday season. Chosen with the utmost care, we've picked makeup and skincare calendars for beauty lovers, food and beverage calendars for those with refined palates, and home and entertainment calendars for those who love to be cozy and have fun staying in. What could be better than giving yourself, or someone else, the gift of more gifts?
