Next has launched its 2026 beauty advent calendar, the 25 Days of Beauty Advent Calendar, priced at £150 but with a total value of more than £576. The products inside, which include a cleansing balm, creams, a lip balm, a travel candle and an LED anti-aging device, work out at around £6 each.
The countdown features brands such as Elemis, ESPA, Liz Earle, Estée Lauder, Caudalie and NEOM. It also includes a LED Wand 5-in-1 Anti-Aging Device and a mixture of skincare, haircare and makeup items.
Charity collaboration and customer reviews
Next says it is collaborating with the breast cancer charity Future Dreams, with £10 from every calendar sold donated to support the charity's work.
The calendar has received one review to date, with the reviewer saying: "I buy these advent calendars every year for my daughters and they love them." They did note a minor issue with their order, commenting: "Sadly this year, one of the boxes is quite badly damaged in the corner which is unfortunate, since it is a gift. Better packaging would undoubtedly help."
Previous years' countdowns have been praised on Trustpilot, with one five-star review saying: "Advent calendar fantastic and arrived within 2 days, brilliant service." Another review of Next's 2024 calendar said: "The Next Premium Beauty advent calendar is on fire this year! Packed with full sizes but the OSKIA Super 16 full size really makes it for me! Heaven!"
