Every year, the Advent calendar has become a true ritual of pleasure: a daily pause, a simple but comforting gesture that, starting December 1, pulls us back into the magic of the holidays. In 2025, brands are pulling out all the stops to turn these 24 little windows into moments of joy—gourmet, creative, or sensory.
This year, three lifestyle creations stand out particularly. Three calendars already highly anticipated, inviting us to savor winter differently: Starbucks, unveiled for the very first time; L’OR Espresso, designed as a tasting case; and the timeless Bonne Maman, which remains the family favorite. Here is our pick of the best 2025 lifestyle Advent calendars.
The Starbucks Advent Calendar: The Event of the Year for Coffee Lovers
It’s a first-of-its-kind: Starbucks is finally launching its own Advent calendar, and the announcement has already sent fans of the chain into a frenzy. Offered in a strictly limited edition of 10,000 copies, this calendar is arguably the most anticipated of 2025 among latte-art enthusiasts, comforting syrups, and the coffee-shop vibe.
A Fresh Concept for Experiencing Starbucks Magic Every Day
Behind its 24 compartments, Starbucks offers a complete universe, a blend of indulgence and playful surprises:
- Exclusive confections inspired by the brand’s flavors,
- Mini Christmas decorations in coffee shop style,
- Latte art stencils to recreate iconic patterns at home,
- Vouchers and small tokens for drinks in-store,
- and other surprises designed to accompany slow winter mornings.
Each box tells a moment of sweetness: a gentle pause, a warm break in a December that’s too often frenetic. Priced at €49 in stores, the 10,000 copies are likely to vanish as quickly as a Pumpkin Spice Latte on a frosty morning.
The Bonne Maman Advent Calendar: The Timeless Family Comfort
Each year, for many families, the countdown truly begins when the takes its place on the kitchen table. With its poetic illustrations, soft colors, and aroma of tradition, it has become a staple. This year again, Bonne Maman offers an enchanting calendar, designed as a fantasy tale to be discovered through each window. Behind the 24 squares: new delights, often absent from the regular shelves.
Here’s what you’ll find:
- exclusive jams (lemon-yuzu, strawberry-cinnamon, peach-verbena…),
- fruit pastes,
- nostalgic cookies,
- and other indulgences that bring joy to both kids and adults.
Each morning becomes a ritual: a simple, intimate moment, sometimes still in pajamas, just before heading off to school or work. Bonne Maman offers not only flavors, but an atmosphere. A return to the essentials, to family cooking, to the sweet memories of childhood holidays.
It is one of the few calendars that brings people together: you don’t need to love coffee, cosmetics, or elaborate surprises—just a love of sharing.
The L’Or Espresso Advent Calendar: 24 Days of Escape for Fans of Exceptional Coffee
This year again, L’OR Espresso elevates the anticipation of the holidays with an Advent calendar designed for connoisseurs of refined coffee. Presented in a red-and-gold clamshell worthy of a high-end chocolate box, it turns the morning ritual into a moment of discovery.
The calendar holds 24 carefully selected capsules, each designed to offer a unique sensory experience. Varying intensities, contrasting origins, and crafted aroma profiles… L’OR has shaped its calendar as a world map of coffee, where every window becomes a tasting in its own right.
For enthusiasts, it’s an opportunity to:
- découvrir des éditions exclusives,
- tester des intensités inédites,
- comparer les terroirs,
- ou simplement savourer un café différent chaque matin de décembre.
With its sophisticated presentation and premium capsules, the L’Or calendar targets those who want to treat themselves to daily luxury without going overboard. A perfect gift for hosts, gourmets, or anyone who regards their coffee break as a sacred moment.
