How we tested beauty Advent calendars
When choosing a beauty Advent calendar, there are a few things our shopping editors kept in mind. Did the set include useful products that will actually upgrade your skin care or makeup routine? We also looked for a variety of product sizes—full-size in addition to a handful of travel-size picks. Value was most important. We sorted through the individual products and checked to see if the calendar’s price seemed worth it. After evaluating more than two dozen options, these are the ones that made the cut for the best beauty Advent calendars in 2025.
