If there’s one holiday countdown that rivals the thrill of unwrapping presents, it’s Bonne Maman’s Advent Calendar. Every December, food lovers look forward to tasting 24 mini jars of jam, marmalade, and chocolate spread—each one crafted in France and only available once a year. It’s an indulgent ritual that makes mornings in December feel a little slower and a lot sweeter. The 2025 edition brings back everything fans love—thoughtful packaging, exquisite flavor combinations, and that nostalgic red gingham lid—but with a few surprises inside. This year’s design features a hand-illustrated Christmas tree scene, making it as much a centerpiece as it is a pantry treat. Whether you open each window solo or with family, the daily reveal feels like a mini celebration. Want trending news, op-eds, and top stories straight to your inbox? Sign up for our Daily newsletter. Inside the 2025 Bonne Maman Advent Calendar This year’s calendar is packed with 24 exclusive flavors you won’t find anywhere else, like Caramel with Vanilla, Strawberry and Passion Fruit, and Wild Blueberry with Maple Syrup. Every jar is made from simple, wholesome ingredients—no preservatives, no high-fructose corn syrup, just fruit, sugar, and authentic French craftsmanship. At $54.99, it’s a small price to pay for a morning taste of France with every jar leading up to Christmas. Fans say the packaging is half the fun. Each tiny box opens to reveal a mini glass jar topped with that signature gingham lid. It’s sleek enough to leave out on your counter, and the quality matches the presentation. Reviewers call it a “perfect holiday gift,” and many admit they end up keeping one for themselves, too. A Gift That Keeps on Giving Even after the countdown ends, the Bonne Maman calendar lives on. The mini jars are ideal for travel—perfect for bringing along jams, sauces, or condiments on the road—and once they’re empty, they’re just the right size for organizing spices or other small essentials back home. It’s a thoughtful, delicious way to make December mornings memorable—and one of the few gifts that truly fits everyone. Whether you prefer a simple breakfast, can’t get enough of pastries, or are someone who just loves the ritual of savoring something new each day, Bonne Maman is the perfect gift. Just don’t wait too long: this cult-favorite calendar sells out every year.
