The Christmas countdown is on. With only 12 Mondays – and exactly 88 days – until 25 December, it is no surprise the advent calendar releases are coming in thick and fast.

Fortnum & Mason, as well as lookfantastic, Rituals and Liberty of London, are among the labels that have recently dropped their beauty countdowns.

Now Boots is also preparing for the festive season, by offering its largest ever selection of advent calendars.

The high street retailer is set to release 28 calendars across all categories, and its not just those looking for beauty and pampering treats who should take note of what’s on offer, as Boots is also stocking calendars filled with food, candles, socks and even sex toys.

Last year Boots sold more than 134,000 advent calendars in the run up to the big day, which is the equivalent to one being sold every minute.

No7 and Rituals’ beauty advent calendars will drop in October, so shoppers looking for luxurious make-up and skincare essentials will want to check those out.

Make-up buffs will be pleased to learn Benefit’s beauty advent calendar will launch exclusively to Boots.

While fans of Friends and Harry Potter will be pleased to learn there are branded calendars available, and foodies can countdown to Christmas with Candy Kitten’s sweet filled calendar, or Joe & Seph’s Popcorn calendar.

Macmillan have also launched an advent calendar, exclusive to Boots, which contains hero products from Liz Earle, No7, botanics and Sleek, and will see £2 from every sale be donated to the charity.
