If there’s one downside to advent calendars, it’s that most of them end on December 24.
Yes, I know it’s meant to be a countdown and that Christmas Day is exciting enough without needing a small treat, but why not keep the fun going for another day?! One more chocolate wouldn’t really hurt… right?!
Thankfully M&S is giving the people (and by that I mean ME), exactly what they want, with an advent calendar that not only goes all the way up to December 25, but has a giant surprise behind the last door for some extra ‘festive cheer’.
If you’ve been on TikTok or Instagram lately, you might have seen the retailer’s new Chocolate Shop Advent Calendar, as the £12 product has gone just a little bit viral — and for good reason.
I’m going to go out on a limb right now and proclaim it the BEST chocolate advent calendar for Christmas 2024. It’s that good.

You’ll also find caramel-filled Chocolate Buttons, Blong Fudge Bites, and Peanut Butter and Caramel Chunkies, as you open each day.
And the best part is, you never know what you’re going to get, unlike say, a Cadbury calendar, where each sweet is a piece of Dairy Milk. This is something a little bit different, and there will be a genuine surprise each morning.

But what’s the verdict on the chocolate itself? Well, the Whips are delightful as always, and the fudge bites are wondrously sweet, but it’s the Chunkies that are the star of the show here.
The perfect combination of salty, sweet, chewy and a little crunchy, these little chocolate morsels are heavenly — the Metro lifestyle team agreed they were more than worth buying the advent calendar for (although you could just buy an entire bag of them for £2.75 if you’d prefer).
Did I mention that on the days when you get the caramel buttons behind your door, you don’t …read more
