Food&Drink editor Cara-Louise Scott gives us a run-down of this year’s best advent calendars
Last year I created a guide on 2020 Advent Calendars, and this year I will be sharing my list of the most exciting advent Calendars that 2021 has to offer. Below I name chocolate and non-chocolate advent calendars that, in my opinion, are some of the most interesting advent calendars that this Christmas has to offer. My two lists range from the cheapest to the most expensive and luxurious.
