The 10 Most Wonderful Vegan Advent Calendars for 2023

H!P are one of my favourite plant-based brands, using creamy oat milk to make their silky vegan milk chocolate. Within this bright and eye-catching advent calendar nestle individually wrapped chocolates, which have been sustainably sourced from single-origin Colombian cocoa.

As H!P point out, their vegan chocolate is not only kinder to animals, but also much more planet-friendly than traditional dairy milk chocolate thanks to its lower carbon footprint. They are also members of 1% for the Planet, so every purchase helps contribute towards a better future.

Monty Bojangles launched its first vegan advent calendar last year, and I’m pleased to say that they’re back for another! These individually wrapped, cocoa-dusted truffles are certified by The Vegan Society and also gluten-free.

While it’s a bit pricier than your typical cheap and cheerful advent calendar, it’s worth it for these superior-quality chocolates! So for your daily dose of Christmas decadence, why not indulge in a little luxury?!

For a truly luxury vegan advent calendar, look no further than Chococo! Featuring oat milk and dark chocolate, these 25 plant-based chocolates are handmade in Dorset using ethically sourced cocoa.

Many of these chocolates contain alcohol, so while this calendar won’t be suitable for children, it’s the perfect boozy treat for grown-ups. Trust me, you won’t want to share them anyway!

If you’re looking for the perfect mix of educational and tasty when it comes to your children’s advent calendar, then Happi have got you covered with this unique and fun design.

Opening up like a book, there is plenty of space inside to highlight their commitment to being slavery-free, palm oil-free and zero-plastic. This means that you can enjoy every bite with a squeaky-clean conscience!

Hotel Chocolat’s sumptuously smooth chocolates are made with 45% cacao and finely milled hazelnuts in place of dairy. The designs of the chocolates are drawn in-house and are almost miniature works of art in themselves. Almost too good to eat… I said almost!

Their nut milk chocolates are absolutely delicious, but they also stock a good variety of vegan calendars, such as this one for children or this dark chocolate lover’s dream.

Coming in at a bargain £5, this plant-based advent calendar from NOMO may not contain a huge amount of variety, but these lovely chocolates are not only tasty – they’re planet-friendly, too! They are made from Rainforest Alliance-certified cocoa as well as palm oil-free.

This vegan chocolate advent calendar is also the best option on this list for those who suffer from food allergies. With nut-free and gluten-free deliciousness, you don’t have to miss out with NOMO!

Confession time: I’m not the world’s biggest chocolate lover. For those of you who also aren’t overly mad about the stuff, then Joe & Seph’s fun popcorn advent calendar may be more up your street.

Handmade in London without any artificial colours, flavours or preservatives, this gluten-free and vegan-friendly calendar opens up like a giant Christmas storybook. While each serving is only small (7g per bag), each one is a taste sensation and something you’ll genuinely look forward to each day.

Although this is the most expensive vegan advent calendar on this list, arguably it is one of the best value. This is because, for £45, you’re getting £179 of full-price vegan and cruelty-free beauty products! This includes an amazing 16 full-size items.

Normally, I don’t bother with subscription boxes because there’s inevitably stuff that ends up not being used. But H&B’s cult calendar is an introduction to some lovely vegan brands like Upcircle, Wild and Faith in Nature.

The perfect choice for eco-conscious tea lovers, Bird & Blend’s vegan calendar contains plastic-free, biodegradable and deliciously indulgent teabags. It was a sell-out last year, so don’t hang about getting your hands on 2023’s exclusive edition!

Bird & Blend are also a fantastic company to support. They are B-Corp certified, fund renewable energy projects around the world, and have been proudly carbon neutral since 2021.

For those with a sweet tooth, Candy Kittens’ advent calendar is full of moreish treats! With no nasties, palm oil, gelatine or synthetic ingredients, their gluten-free sweeties are made to a strictly vegan recipe (and even contain real fruit juice).

While Candy Kittens are carbon neutral, the only downside to this calendar is the amount of plastic used. The good news is that they are in the process of addressing this for next year!
