The Sephora beauty advent calendar was my favorite among all the ones I tried last year, so when I found out the 2025 edition was on its way, I could barely contain my excitement. The once US-only retailer – which launched in the UK in 2022 – is one of the latest beauty brands to unveil its Christmas calendar, with Boots, Harrods, Selfridges and more dropping earlier this month (browse my full selection of the best beauty advent calendars 2025).
As the saying goes, good things come to those who wait and, based on the brand’s early sneak peek at the first five products, it looks like we’re in for a truly indulgent December.

Scroll on for everything I know so far, including sign up details plus those all important first five items.
