ALDI has revealed its 2026 Advent calendar lineup: more than 25 calendars, priced from $1.99, arriving in ALDI stores on Wednesday, Nov. 4, while supplies last. This year’s mix goes well beyond chocolate and wine, with new beauty, baking, stationery, magnetic building toy and ALDI-branded calendars.
ALDI Advent Calendars 2026: Prices
ALDI shared a sampling of the assortment with prices:
- NEW: ALDI Super Fan Advent Calendar ($29.99): 12 ALDI-branded items, from wine stoppers and ornaments to socks and snow globes.
- NEW: Crofton 24 Days of Baking Advent Calendar ($19.99): 24 days of baking gadgets and tools.
- NEW: Creativity for Kids Sensory Advent Calendar ($14.99): slimes, doughs, toys and squishies.
- NEW: Stationery Advent Calendar ($19.99): notebooks, pens, markers and sticky pads.
- Wine Advent Calendar ($59.99): an entirely new selection of wines, including regions like Greece and France (21+).
- Emporium Selection Advent Cheese Calendar ($16.99): designed to pair with the wine calendar.
- Barissimo Coffee and Cocoa Advent Calendar ($16.99): a new cocoa variation and updated coffee flavors.
- Burman’s Hot Sauce Advent Calendar ($14.99): 25 bottles of hot sauce.
- Pure Being Dog Advent Calendar ($7.99): toys and treats.
- Choceur Kids Advent Calendar ($1.99): chocolates behind every door.
The Wine and Cheese Pairing
The two refreshed calendars are meant to be opened together: each day’s wine is paired with a cheese. ALDI gives one example, a Chardonnay-Fiano with Herb & Garlic Gouda. Buying both costs $76.98, which is still less than many single beauty calendars this season.
ALDI says sales of select Advent calendars rose nearly 20% last year. “Since our first Wine Advent Calendar in 2018, we’ve found new ways to make the countdown part of the celebration,” said Bridget Kozlowski, Director of Communications at ALDI U.S.
Our Take
ALDI remains the cheapest way into the Advent calendar trend. The $14.99 hot sauce calendar works out to about 60 cents a bottle, and the $7.99 dog calendar is an easy stocking extra. The new Super Fan calendar is the one to watch: ALDI merch has a cult following, and quantities are limited. Go early on Nov. 4 if you want the wine, cheese or Super Fan calendars.
