Vogue’s debut Advent Calendar has officially arrived—and it’s every bit as glamorous and luxurious as you’d expect. Combining fashion, beauty, and lifestyle in one jaw-dropping package, this calendar sets a new standard for festive unboxings. Retailing at £350, it may be on the higher end of the Advent calendar spectrum, but with a total product value of over £1,500 🤩, it delivers serious substance alongside its unmistakable style.
This is not just another beauty calendar. Designed as a celebration of Vogue’s iconic legacy, it comes beautifully presented in a large, glossy black box, fastened with a luxurious ribbon and detailed with illustrated vintage Vogue magazine covers on each door.
The Vogue Festive Calendar includes 31 products—more than the traditional 24 or 25—spanning across makeup, skincare, haircare, fragrance, jewellery, wellness, accessories, and even beauty tech. Each drawer opens to reveal a curated product alongside a collector-style card that highlights an original Vogue cover and a snippet of fashion history. There’s also a year-long digital subscription to Vogue included!
On top of that, £75,000 of proceeds from calendar sales are being donated to three women-focused organisations—Sistah Space, Women for Refugee Women, and the Albert Kennedy Trust—making it not just a luxury item, but a gift that gives back.
With a mix of 25 top-tier brands, standout full-size products, high-value accessories, and thoughtful extras, this calendar promises a premium festive experience from start to finish. If you’re considering indulging in a luxury Advent calendar this year, this one might just claim the top spot.
