Aldi is launching two new boozy advent calendars for a very merry Christmas – both are less than £50

Kick off the festive countdown with the supermarket’s boozy offering

The calendars are available from 28 and 30 October (The Independent)

Whether it’s packed with beauty goodies or overfilled with sweet treats, nothing says Christmas like an indulgent advent calendar to help you countdown to the big day – and this year’s offerings leave us spoilt for choice.

From the luxe Harvey Nichols beauty calendar to Lego’s themed Christmas range, there’s something for everyone. When it comes to gin advents, Aldi’s pocket-friendly Haysmiths calendar is at the top of our wish lists this year, and, for beer lovers, you’ll be pleased to know the supermarket is launching a 24 hoppy beers advent calendar this year too.

The former houses 12 mini gins from the budget supermarket’s in-house spirit brand, you’ll find a range of different flavours behind the doors – from rhubarb and ginger to raspberry and redcurrant. Meanwhile, the beer calendar boasts 24 doors – behind each one is a selection of the supermarket’s best-selling craft beers.

Hot off the heels of Aldi’s affordable wine advent calendar and Christmas hamper range that rivals Fortnum & Mason’s, the gin option costs just £39.99, while the beer version will set you back £49.99.

If you’re in the market for a booze-fuelled Christmas countdown this year, here’s everything you need to know about Aldi’s alcohol advent calendars – including when they’re available to buy.
