If you're a member of the #Holidayhive, AKA those of us who are pumped to get into the holiday season already, then you might want to sit down for this news. OK, ready? Aldi announced today that its uber-popular wine advent calendar will be returning to US stores this year and that you can buy it starting next month!
For those who haven't heard of it (what's that like?), Aldi sells an advent calendar called the Festive Collection Wine Advent Calendar for $69.99. It's full of 24 mini bottles of red, white, rosé, and bubbly wine. It previously was only available in the UK but it blessedly made its way stateside in 2018 to huge demand and excitement from, well, pretty much everybody.
Though you'll probably want to wait until December to crack this guy open (that is how advent calendars work after all!) you can pick it up at your local Aldi starting November 6. Oh, that's another thing I can mention. Certain states don't allow the sale of alcohol at grocery stores, so you'll want to call ahead to see if your local Aldi carries it.
In addition to this traditional wine advent calendar, there is also one that counts down to New Year's from Christmas and features seven mini bottles of sparkling wine. This will retail for $25 and will be available in December. So essentially, you can have a bottle of wine every day for a month. The dream.
There's also a beer advent calendar available for $49.99, similar to this one that's been spotted in Costco, and a cheese advent calendar is coming for $15. Basically, whether you want food or drinks, there's an advent calendar for you. Ain't the holidays grand?
