Although advent calendars typically start on the 1st of December, there’s no harm getting one early and ordering yours now. By the time it comes in the post, December will be right around the corner! A swig of a drink every now or then — or every night — will help warm you up on a cold night as the frost creeps in.

Also, what better way to prepare you for the inevitably large amount of Christmas drinking that will ensue on the 24th? Get your bodies trained for the main event with the aid of these Christmas advent calendars. Hand-picked to pleasure your taste-buds, as well as not break the bank too much.
