Candy Kittens, who are widely known for their big flavour honest ingredients sweets, have created their very own 24-day advent calendar, so you're getting a little surprise even on Christmas day. Do you prefer your chocolate to be richly flavoured and deliciously dark? If that’s the case then Divine’s luxurious dark chocolate calendar should be on your wishlist this Christmas. In recent years they are becoming more and more extravagant with some massive designer names getting involved. These gourmet candies have a minimum 10% fruit juice + natural flavouring & colouring and are vegan.

Having launched the brand's digital presence in 2015, Rachel shares her love for animals and the planet through her work as Vegan Food & Living’s Digital Editor.

This generously-sized vegan calendar is filled with 24 almond and peanut butter cups so you can enjoy a nutty treat every day in the run-up to Christmas. There’s no messing about with mini chocolates here either as Pip & Nut have filled it with full-sized chocolates for an epic festive celebration. Personally I like a good arts and crafts task so I did enjoy building it, however it was a bit of a surprise. Monty Bojangles launched its first vegan calendar last year, and it’s no surprise to see it returning in 2023 because it is an absolute delight for chocolate lovers.

Plus, along with your chocolate treat, each day you’ll uncover an interesting animal fact so you can boast your knowledge to your friends & family around the dinner table this Christmas! Gluten-free: Hotel Chocolat’s vegan calendar may contain other tree nuts, peanuts, milk, soya, gluten, and wheat as it is made in the same factory as its other products.

Christmas is a time for indulgence, and Gaia is inviting you to relax and unwind in the most luxurious way with its first-ever advent calendar.
