There's a lot to love about Sephora's 2025 collection of advent calendars

This is everything we're excited to unbox in December

Beauty Crew Beauty Editor / November 30 2025

We've been keenly curating 2025's best beauty advent calendars since September, but some brands like to make us wait by releasing their contenders in the category just a few weeks before the countdown to Christmas begins in December. 

Enter: Sephora's advent calendar collection. 

Released on November 10th, the beauty retailer is offering not one, but two advent calendars this year — the Sephora Collection Advent Calendar ($99 from Sephora) and the Sephora Collection Premium Advent Calendar ($185 from Sephora).

There's a lot to love about these beauty Christmas gifts too. First of all, they're both incredibly affordable advent calendar options, but there's also a great selection of makeup, skincare, bath and body products to try in a range of full and travel sizes. 

Want to know exactly what's stuffed inside? Keep scrolling for a complete rundown on the Sephora advent calendar's contents.
