There are a few stores that have, through decades of clever marketing and strategic promotion, developed a cult following. Loyal fans rave about the groceries at Target, Costco, Trader Joe’s, and, to a lesser extent, even Big Lots. But the fervor is often highest around ALDI, whose (highly affordable) merch drops are treated like milestone events throughout the year. And this time of year, that means people are getting excited about Advent calendars.
These Advent calendars ostensibly count down the weeks before Christmas in accordance with Christianity’s celebration of the birth of Jesus, but really, they’re just adorable boxes of stuff whose contents are fun to discover each day leading up to the holiday. Sure, you can just buy hot sauce, but why not shield it behind a series of cardboard doors that read “25 DAYS OF HOLIDAY HEAT”?
Not every Advent calendar at ALDI is filled with food or drink; you can get them filled with everything from puzzles to cat treats. But let’s focus on the most delicious ones, because those are most likely to sell out quick. Here’s a list of every edible Advent calendar dropping at ALDI this month, available while supplies last.
