If you think it’s still too early to be discussing beauty advent calendars of both the budget and uber-luxe variety, you’re in the wrong place.
For the fashion, beauty and wellness obsessed, pre-orders for luxury advents begin as early as July. Thankfully, the one we’ve all been waiting for is finally here. Here’s what’s inside Vogue’s 2025 Festive Calendar.
An ode to Vogue House, from which Condé Nast recently departed after 60 years in the iconic building, this year’s advent calendar has been hand-illustrated by John Biggs and features an array of delightful caricatures of Vogue staff battening down the hatches to prepare for the festive season. One of my personal favourite design features? Anna Wintour proofing a copy of the December issue in the top right-hand corner.
When it comes to the gifts hidden behind those 25 not-so-little paper doors, rest assured, the lineup is out of this world. Naturally, given it’s been hand curated by Vogue’s editors. It features an eye-watering 32 products, 29 of which are full-sized wonders.

Unlike the majority of beauty advent calendars on the market this year, Vogue’s has a distinct wellness focus – with products like the Therabody Sleep Mask Device, Verden Nocturne Sleep Mist and Isamaya Beauty x Face Gym Sculpt Tool promising a meditative start to the new year.
Don’t get it twisted, there’s plenty of beauty in the mix too, as well as an array of it-girl-approved accessories (Including a Moschino keychain worth £225 alone!). Editors have chosen from a myriad of well-established brands and a selection of sought-after new products from exciting brands across the globe to give enthusiasts a sense of what’s on the horizon for beauty and lifestyle.
Restock on cult-favourites like the Ilia Multi Stick in Lady Bird and La Mer’s The Rejuvenating Night Cream & Crème de la Mer Day Cream (the first La Mer duo we’ve spotted in a 2025 beauty advent), while exploring newer products like Champo’s Hair Growth Serum and a sumptuous candle from Flamingo Estate.
What’s particularly exciting about this year’s calendar isn’t just the products inside, but the fact that it also includes a British Vogue digital subscription with unlimited access to all issues throughout 2026. The perfect gift for the sartorially savvy and beauty-obsessed.
Plus, Vogue has pledged £75,000 of sales to charities which are close to the publication’s heart: Sistah Space, akt and Women for Refugee Women.
