There's no shortage of choice when it comes to luxury beauty advent calendars this year, with versions from Harrods, Space NK and Liberty London already proving hugely popular with shoppers, and in some cases even selling out altogether (the Harrods Beauty Advent Calendar is long sold out ). But there's one recent release that we think could give the rest a run for their money: the Harvey Nichols Beauty Advent Calendar 2024.
At £250 but worth £1,000 inside, this is one of the most impressive product lists we've seen so far this year. Inside, there are a whopping 42 products from 31 brands hidden behind 25 drawers. Some of the big brands you can expect to find include Augustinus Bader, Trinny London, Charlotte Tilbury, Le Labo, La Prairie and more. And did we mention there are 18 full-size items?
This calendar is now available for purchase and we expect it to be a serious contender for the best beauty advent calendar for Christmas, as it contains by far the most products and is therefore one of the most affordable options.

As for the most expensive picks in this calendar, there's the cult classic, Augustinus Bader The Rich Cream, which retails for £74 for 15ml and is said to be a rich cell renewal cream that deeply hydrates the skin using natural amino acids, premium vitamins and peptides in what's called a TFC8 (Trigger Factor Complex). The luxurious cream is a firm favourite among A-list celebrities and the calendar is a great chance to try it out without spending a huge amount on a single moisturiser.
There is also a handbag-friendly version of the deliciously sweet, fruity and citrusy Xerjoff Erba Pura Eau de Parfum, which retails for a whopping £140 for a 50ml bottle and £205 for a 100ml bottle.

Other standout products we're really looking forward to include Charlotte Tilbury's Matte Revolution Lipstick (£30), Trinny London's Eye2Eye (£18), 111SKIN's Bio Cellulose Facial Mask (£19) and a Malin+Goetz Mojito Lip Balm (£14).
There's also a full-size Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturiser Blush that customers describe as blendable, buildable and perfect for adding a pop of colour all over the face.
What we also love is that the calendar includes a bunch of handy items that bring a little luxury to the hustle and bustle of Christmas. Think Bamford Geranium Body Lotion, Neom Happiness Scented Candle and Espa Bergamot & Jasmine Bath & Shower Gel.
Better yet, Harvey Nichols has hidden a £250 gift voucher in a number of its calendars. According to the store, there is a 1 in 100 chance of finding a gift voucher behind drawer 25 on Christmas Day.
