Alright team, it's time to clear your Wednesday plans: ALDI's much-sought after advent calendars are finally coming to stores, and they are not gonna be around for long. Starting November 7, ALDI's wine advent calendar and cheese advent calendar will be available in grocery stores nationwide while supplies last.
As a refresher, the wine advent calendar costs $70 and comes with 24 mini bottles of red, white, rosé, and sparkling wine, including red blend, Shiraz, Malbec, Pinot Grigio, and Sauvignon Blanc. Due to high demand—this is the first year the product is available in the U.S.!—there's a cap of one box per customer, per visit.
The cheese advent calendar, $13, includes 24 imported mini cheeses, including cheddar, Gouda, and Edam. These are capped at 3 boxes per customer, per visit. The calendars won't be restocked once they're sold out, so make moves early if you want one!

Last year, ALDI's Wine Advent Calendars had us ready to book a flight to England just to pick one up. Sure, there were other boozy calendars you could buy, but between ALDI's top-rated wine selection and super-affordable prices, we were still lusting after the British version. Thankfully, the Christmas calendar's popularity means that this holiday season, ALDI is bringing them stateside. We got a sneak peak of both new holiday goodies, as well as the exact date they'll be in stores. Here's what you need to know:
Wine Advent Calendar
The star of the show here is the festive wine collection. Each $70 box comes with 24 mini bottles of wine in red, white, rosé, and bubbly varieties, so you can cheers the lead-up to Christmas with all your favorite ALDI wines.
This is the first time they'll be available in the U.S., though there is one catch: some states (like New York) have laws against selling alcohol in supermarkets, so whether you can buy one at your local ALDI is dependent on state practices. If you're lucky enough to add ALDI's $8 rosé to your cart on the reg — or whatever your ALDI wine of choice may be — you should be able to find it in stores.
Cheese Advent Calendar
Not a big wine fan? ALDI is also dropping a cheese advent calendar this year, and it only costs $13. The equally festive box comes with 24 imported mini cheeses, including cheddar, gouda, and edam cheese. Of course, you could always double up and grab one of each ... a month of wine and cheese nights sounds like a pretty wonderful way to celebrate the holidays.
One thing's for sure: These fun advent calendars won't last long. Make note of November 7 in your calendar — that's the first day both the wine and cheese calendars will be in grocery stores!
