Most children look forward to a daily chocolate treat on the countdown towards Christmas.
But this year, UK retailers have been busy creating boozy festive products exclusively for adults.
Alcohol-filled advent calendars are cropping up in bargain stores and designer departments up and down the country.
And the selection of what's on offer is extensive.
Craft beer, wine, cream liquor, bourbon and gin calendars are just some examples of what's available this festive season.
