Today officially marks Christmas in July, which means we have we have the holiday season on our minds. Between scoping out the hottest holiday toys, to finding the perfect gifts to give everyone in the family, our excitement for the season is only growing.
And, of course, while it’s still early, there’s no better way to prep for the holidays than with an Advent calendar. For the eighth year in a row, Bonne Maman just dropped this year's version of its beloved jam-filled calendar.
Bonne Maman Limited Edition 2024 Advent Calendar
When you open up the festive calendar, you'll find 24 doors — and behind each of them is a different spread. Bonne Maman may be best known for its raspberry preserves, but the flavors in the calendar include unique and tasty combos. This year, the calendar brings new seasonal flavors including blueberry maple, guava, rhubarb with spices, white nectarine and peach.
Along with new flavors, the calendar also features a new design and artwork, and the holiday train illustration is perfect for displaying on your counter to add a festive feel to your home.
While it may seem early to be buying your Advent calendar, Bonne Maman's tends to be one of the most talked-about options every year — and repeatedly sells out early in the holiday season. So it's better to order it now and be counting down the days until you can open your first jar, rather than missing out on it altogether.
"I’ve been editing holiday coverage for over three years now and I haven’t seen more people get hyped over a single product as they do with Bonne Maman’s Advent calendar," shares senior SEO editor Jess Bender. "As a food lover, I totally get it — the opportunity to savor a new jam/spread every day for over three weeks sounds like a delightful time."
She adds that, "the biggest selling point for me is that you’re getting something completely different every day of the countdown, which isn’t as common as you’d expect with Advent calendars."
Because of their popularity, there is a maximum of two calendars per order. That means you can get one for yourself and another to gift a loved one.
Bender gave one to a friend one year, and she says it "made her year." "My friend was delighted by the classic spreads like rhubarb strawberry and cinnamon caramel apple, but my palate naturally gravitated towards more ambitious limited-edition flavors. (She was kind enough to share the pots she wasn’t going to eat herself.) Bright flavors like orange yuzu grapefruit serve as an instant mood-booster, so I recommend saving the citrus-y pots for drearier days when an extra boost of sunshine is essential; while other creations like cherry elderflower and fig cardamom delivered warmer, more herbaceous notes that were reminiscent of classic Christmas."
Each calendar costs $44.99 and you'll want to note that the brand only ships within the U.S. through FedEx Ground, two-day shipping or overnight shipping.
