Advent calendars have had an adult upgrade, which is guaranteed to make Christmas extra merry.
Alcohol-filled advent calendars are back in stores and it’s not just about celebrating with ‘Ginvent’ this year (although it’s still a firm favourite).
Whether your favourite tipple is whisky, gin, rum, vodka or even craft beer, there are a shed load of booze-filled calendars on offer, with prices starting at £75.
They aren’t as cheap as your bog-standard chocolate numbers, but they’re more fun.
Sherry-swigging Santa would most certainly approve.
