Universal Yums has three new candy advent calendars for 2026: Grand Yums Hotel Tokyo, Stockholm and London, each $49.99 with 24 days of local candy. Its classic Around the World Advent Calendar is back at $34.99, and all four come together in a $159 Advent Calendar Collection.
The Grand Yums Hotel advent calendars
Each Grand Yums Hotel calendar is a “24-day stay” in one country, with candies Universal Yums says are sourced from local makers. Each one serves up to 4 people, according to the brand.
Grand Yums Hotel Tokyo
24 days of Japanese candies, $49.99.
Grand Yums Hotel Stockholm
24 days of Swedish candies, $49.99.
Grand Yums Hotel London
24 days of UK candies, $49.99.
Around the World Advent Calendar
The returning Around the World calendar is $34.99, with 24 days of sweets “from Italy, Lithuania, Brazil, and beyond.” You start on December 1 and open one door a day.

The Advent Calendar Collection
The Advent Calendar Collection bundles all four calendars for $159, against a listed price of $185. That works out to about $39.75 per calendar (our math). Universal Yums lists a $35 value for Around the World and $50 for each Grand Yums Hotel calendar. Prices as of October 13, 2026.
No Holiday Box this year, but a new box is coming
Subscribers should note that Universal Yums says there is no Holiday Subscription Box in 2026. Instead, its FAQ teases “our new Yum Voyage box launching later this month.” For Christmas delivery in the contiguous U.S., Universal Yums lists December 17 for ground shipping and December 18 for Priority Mail, but you will want an advent calendar well before December 1.
Our take
The single-country calendars are the real novelty: if someone in your house loves Japanese, Swedish or British candy, a Grand Yums Hotel is a more focused pick than the mixed Around the World box. All three are marked limited. See also our October snack box roundup.
