If we listen very carefully, we might just catch the faint hum of Michael Bublé reminding us that very soon, it will be beginning to look a lot like Christmas. And if you plan on getting into the Christmas spirit as early as possible, an advent calendar packed with treats is probably high on your wishlist.
You’re never be too old for lots of little treats behind tiny doors. In fact, it’s a market that seems to have exploded with choice over the years – from high end beauty to wine-packed selections.
For vegans there’s plenty of choice too. If nothing beats a square of something sweet on dark December mornings for you, then there are plenty of both vegan and non-vegan chocolatiers creating dairy-free deliciousness.
Or, if sweet treats aren’t your thing, then there are drinkable selections or beauty and wellbeing-focused countdowns that are perfect for pampering your way into the Yuletide period.
So, armed with the perfect excuse, we munched, sipped and pampered our way through each and every door to put these vegan advent calendars for 2022 under the Indybest spotlight – here’s how we got on.
How we tested
We were looking for advent calendars that could inspire excitement, and while it was important to find the most scumptious vegan chocolate, we made sure to branch out from countdowns for the sweet tooth. Variety was always welcome when it came to the contents, but above all we were looking for high quality and value for money while keeping an eye out for conscientious packaging.
