There have been some great innovations in food and drink advent calendars over the past couple of years, ranging from gin, tea, coffee, wine, and now one we're truly excited for - a crisps advent calendar.

Gluten free oat milk chocolates behind each door, in various flavours including gingerbread, white and salted caramel. The affectionately named ‘Jam Bus’ has a fun design and contains eight different classic jams (including two marmalades).

Build the cardboard tree and miniature boxes to hide each mini packet of sweets in, including Tangfastics, Strawberries and Starmix. Another enduring classic from 1988, Eternity is a romantic floral fragrance that was inspired by lasting love. When the Battle of Balaclava was fought on 25 October 1854, the coincidence was noticed by contemporaries, who used Shakespeare's words to comment on the battle. No matter what your sensory preferences are though, just remember that the perfect fragrance simply does not exist – some simply won’t match your personality, and what you like could also depend on the season, vibe, and mood you’re feeling that day. Most chocolate Advent calendars reveal the same behind every door, but this Hershey's calendar has three different styles of cookies 'n' creme chocolate to open, including a mini bar for Christmas Eve.

A new addition to our gluten free advent calendar options last year, which was very exciting as usual Cadburys contain lots of may contain warnings. A collaboration with Another magazine, the scent is equal parts musky and fresh, composed of ambroxan, jasmine petals, moss, and woody, amber-y notes. Each door contains two, so there's the possibility to share, plus on Christmas Eve there is a full-size bag to pass around.Inside its irresistible red christmas theme packaging, it is packed with 24 of 3 different flavour Doritos crisps.

We love the tiny individually wrapped bars that lie behind each of the 25 doors of this colourful calendar, in five creative flavours including pistachio or raspberry and vanilla. We loved the vibrant yellow design, and despite the generously sized fillings, it still feels compact so won’t take over your whole kitchen. Each day you get a gluten and dairy free mini chocolate (probably the best dairy free chocolate I have tried – it was so smooth and creamy), a fact card and an animal or scenery figurine to make. It’s a warming, cosy scent made up of cedarwoods, cypress, and nutmeg, with woody undertones of patchouli and vetiver.Alluding to Celine’s excellence in black-tie and tailored silhouettes, this evening scent is built for a night out. Advent calendar with a selection of chocolate truffles: Spice Berry Parfait, Dark Chocolate Truffle, Café Mocha, Hazelnut Caramel, Orange Bombe, Almond Cappuccino, Milk Chocolate Truffle, Midnight Ginger, Raspberry, Pink Himalayan Salted Caramel, Passionata, Salted Hazelnut Caramel.

So, if you want to venture out into the world of savoury advent calendars this is the best place to start. A great pick for vegans, this colourful calendar contains oat milk chocolate made from single-origin Colombian cocoa and is sure to please kids and adults alike. Fruity and citrus top notes of apple, lemon, and plum are balanced against a hefty floral and spicy base, including geranium, sandalwood, and vetiver.It’s an idyllic scent for every day, though can be amped up and layered for more of a spicy evening scent. Still, I went into the quest with an open mind, considering everything from light and fresh to heavy and musky – and in the process, I managed to find a number of crowd favourites that can appeal to just about anybody’s tastes. We'll be adding plenty more calendars to this round-up as the season continues and we discover new launches. Treat yourself to 12 days in a row of beautiful curry dishes or spread them out over the following months to keep the festive treats coming.
