There are even some tipsy chocolates for those who enjoy a dash of booze. However, if that’s not your thing then worry not because there’s a great balance between the boozy chocolates and the alcohol-free ones.
Every day feels like Christmas Day with Kakoa’s exceptional vegan chocolate advent calendar! Filled with a stunning selection of 24 vegan truffles and chocolates, I was blown away by the quality of the chocolates, the fabulous variety and selection of flavours, and its impressive eco-credentials. But the good news is that Candy Kitten’s have confirmed that they are currently exploring other materials for next year’s calendar.
Do you prefer your chocolate to be richly flavoured and deliciously dark? If that’s the case then Divine’s luxurious dark chocolate calendar should be on your wishlist this Christmas. The design is bold and contemporary with a festive trio of funny-faced ‘baubles’ on the front, reflecting the trio of choc flavours inside. I love calendars that give you a full-sized treat to enjoy on the last day, and a variety of flavours to keep things interesting all month long, so Candy Kittens gets top marks on the contents of its calendar. An advent calendar filled with 24 dairy-free chocolate peanut butter and almond butter cups? I’ll take two! This appears to be a small brand that’s exclusive to the United Kingdom and primarily sold online. The calendar contains two extremely chunky bars with unique flavours such as Red Berry Dark Chocolate, Chili Dark Chocolate, and the interesting-sounding ‘Wild’ 68% Dark Chocolate.
There does seem to be a variety of mince pies this year from regular gluten free to frangipane topped and slices which makes a nice change. It is also nice to see a couple of places have a gluten free yule log too when for the past year or so only Tesco have had this. Each day, you’ll open the doors to discover sweet notes to build your excitement for the big day, as well as tasty chocolates in a range of festive shapes. Upon opening up the calendar, I found myself a little underwhelmed. Compared to the brand’s previous years’ calendars containing mixed flavours, premium gooey caramels (my favourite!), or a full-sized bar as a Christmas day treat, this one feels a little basic. This fun and colourful calendar feels really high-quality where it counts, whilst containing sustainable elements like a raw cardboard tray. It’s a calendar that does good while looking good!This stunning, hand-crafted advent calendar is also free of the top 14 allergens, and includes 24 unique flavors. And yes, that really is chocolate! Sorry Americans, this elegant countdown is only in the UK. One thing to note is that unfortunately this calendar is not plastic-free as the chocolates sit in a plastic tray (although this is fully recyclable). This makes this calendar a real feel-good option for Advent and with great-tasting chocolates, too! Containing six of their iconic flavours such as Eton mess and Wild Strawberry with two palm-oil-free sweets available every single day and a full-size bag on Christmas Eve, the 24 Days of Gourmet calendar is a fun option for both kids and adults alike. NOMO (aka No Missing Out) upped their holiday game a few seasons ago. They still have their classic free-from advent calendar with dairy-free caramel and sea salt “milk” chocolates. But now they also have a gooey caramel advent calendar. Each window houses chocolates that are vegan and free from dairy, gluten, egg and nuts. They are typically sold at Holland & Barrett stores, some other U.K. shops, and online.
All the taste of dairy milk but with no dairy or soya. A festive and fun presentation. This dairy-free milk chocolate advent calendar is made in our own factory which never uses dairy, gluten or nuts. Organic, fairtrade and vegan. Gourmet popcorn makers Joe & Seph’s is known for its incredible range of uniquely delicious popcorn flavours, and now you can enjoy them every day in the run-up to Christmas with their vegan popcorn advent calendar. Filled with a range of bath and beauty products to boost your wellbeing and encourage self-care, this is the perfect calendar for anyone in need of a little pampering during the busy festive period. I have not included any calendars with a “may contain gluten/wheat” warning, as in my opinion these do not count as being safely gluten free for coeliacs like me. I particularly enjoyed the soothing Balancing Bath oil and matching bath salts, which you can follow up with the body oil to really enjoy all of the benefits. The purifying face mask was another favourite as it left my skin feeling squeaky clean, hydrated, and ready to shine at any Christmas party.The grocer Marks & Spencer has their own “free from” advent calendar, filled with vegan ricemilk chocolates. Look for it in store. I was most excited to try the coffee chocolate (as I find it hard to come by a vegan-friendly version), and MELT’s did not disappoint. It was slightly more bitter than I usually prefer, but it had a perfect coffee aroma and a slightly grainy mouthfeel that told me there really was coffee in there – something I look for in a good coffee chocolate. One thing to note is this calendar is definitely one for those who enjoy boozy chocolates as many contain alcohol, which is good news as you won’t have to share them with the kids!
