Best advent calendar for men 2026: Our pick of the best men’s grooming and skincare calendars
The 2026 advent calendars for men are starting to go on sale, alongside 2026 waitlists you can join now. Here’s our pick of the best men’s grooming and wellness calendars
There was a time when buying an advent calendar for men was an almost impossible task – despite the fact there are dozens of advent calendars designed with women in mind (you can check out a whole host of these best beauty advent calendars on our sister site, mamabella).
Yet in recent years, the number of men’s advent calendars has been on the rise. Some seem a tad clichéd – 12 days of socks anyone? – but there is an increasing number of grooming, aftershave and wellness advent calendars designed for men doing the rounds, from an increasing number of retailers.
Below are the best advent calendars for men 2026, including live waitlists and pre-orders from the likes of Liberty, ESPA, Lush and more, plus a few 2025 favourites where the 2026 edition hasn’t been confirmed yet.

What’s inside the 24-day Baylis & Harding Advent Calendar for Men – 2026 TBC
The 2026 Baylis & Harding Men’s Advent Calendar hasn’t been confirmed yet, but last year’s edition was as practical as it was predictable – and that’s not a bad thing. It was filled with everyday grooming minis in familiar, easy-wear scents like Black Pepper & Ginseng. You got body washes, aftershave balms, shampoos, lotions, soaps and even a couple of muscle soaks. There was no wow-factor packaging or surprise luxury, but for someone who just wants daily products they’ll actually use, it was good value. We’ll update this section as soon as the 2026 details are confirmed.

- Release date: TBC for 2026
- Where to buy: Menkind
What’s inside The Bearded Man Co Beard Oil Advent Calendar for Men – 2026 TBC
This is one of our go-to picks for beard care lovers, and it’s an evergreen product that Bearded Man Co brings back each year rather than confirming a big seasonal launch. Behind each door is a 2ml bottle of 100% natural scented beard oil, made with a blend of almond, grapeseed, wheatgerm and vitamin E oils.
The scents change daily, so you can mix it up, and the size is enough to last beyond a single day. There’s no gimmick packaging or extra tools here – just a solid daily routine upgrade for beards, long or short. We’ll confirm 2026 stock and pricing as soon as it’s live.

- Where to buy: Debenhams
The 2026 ClarinsMen calendar hasn’t launched yet, but last year’s edit was a smaller, 12-day box built specifically around ClarinsMen’s grooming range rather than the wider Clarins beauty line.
It included full-size and travel-size skincare and body care – face wash, shave oil, moisturising balm and body scrub among them – making it a practical option if you’re after everyday grooming rather than fragrance or tools.
At £51 against a £162+ value, it offered good value, though the 12-day format means less variety than the 24- or 25-day options on this list.
