In the last decade or so, the world of ultra-luxe beauty advent calendars has officially taken over. Long gone are the days of a bit of bog-standard supermarket choccy, this is the big leagues.

Comfortably toe-to-toe with the beauty advent calendar headliners of John Lewis, Liberty, Harrods, and Cult Beauty, Avant has entered the game for 2026 in a pretty major way. How? With a line-up of twenty-five skincare treasures, primed for New Year wellness.

So-named after its content’s oceanic ingredients, the Odyssey calendar invites a winter season of unparalleled pampering with a line-up of both clinically proven full-size formulas and most-loved essentials. Expertly curated to hydrate, firm, and reveal visibly radiant skin, Jan 2027 is going to be your smoothest season yet.

The stand-out here though? The price. With twenty-five doors and fifteen major full-size products, the Odyssey might be worth well over £1,000, but it’ll set you back just £109 (or, £98 with the exclusive code ). And if that’s not a Christmas miracle, I frankly don’t know what is.

For me, the highlight of this calendar is everything eye-care related. I struggle with eye puffiness and sunken tear troughs, so the idea of the Hyaluronic Overnight Eye Recovery Mask and 3-in-1 Hyaluron-Filler Collagen Eye Formula combo is nothing short of a cosmetic Godsend. Otherwise, though, a number of the calendar’s products are award-winning, namely the Women & Home Clever Skincare Award-winning Blue Volcanic Stone Cleanser.

The offering isn’t limited to just skincare, though, with a number of haircare treasures available (the Reconstructing Keratin Complex Ultra Shine Hair Cream is a particular highlight); nothing will be left behind in the wellness stakes this festive season.

Good news! The Avant Odyssey beauty advent calendar has officially launched and is ready to be added to your bag. Great skin awaits.
