Bonne Maman Just Dropped Its Limited-Edition 2024 Advent Calendar

In the not-too-distant past, you would have been hard-pressed to find a treat other than chocolate hiding behind advent calendar doors. Happily, this is no longer the case. Last year’s crop of calendars included an impressive assortment of sweet surprises like cookies, caramels, licorice, and more deliciously festive desserts.  

But the honor of most highly anticipated release — and the only one capable of starting our Christmas countdown in August — belongs to French company Bonne Maman. While the brand’s classic jellies, spreads, and preserves are ubiquitous in grocery stores across the United States, its limited-edition advent calendar brings with it entirely new flavors to try. In fact, it was in such high demand last year that the company put in place a two-calendar limit per order for the 2024 season. We suggest buying one (or two) now before they sell out. 

Bonne Maman Advent Calendar 

Bonne Maman’s advent calendar perfectly captures the cozy spirit of the holiday season with its illustration of Santa’s gift train driving through a snowy village. Kids play in the background, jars of jelly decorate the trees, and presents dot the ground. Hidden within this scene of winter cheer are 24 original spreads in adorable 1-ounce jars, each with checkered lids in shades of red, pink, and blue. Some flavors to look forward to this year include apple and quince with honey, cherry and pink peppercorn, apricot with orange blossom, lemon with elderflower, purple fig with cinnamon, and caramel with coffee. The design, coupled with the brand’s limited-edition flavors, makes this the perfect holiday gift for yourself or someone you love. 

Comments on Bonne Maman’s website from the 2023 release read like a billet-doux extolling the creative combinations, cute jars, and festive design. “This will be an annual purchase from here on,” wrote one of the happy customers. “It’s the perfect gift for people who ‘have everything’ and those who enjoy a little luxury in their busy lives,” added another.  

It may only be August, but there’s already a list of people lining up to snag one of Bonne Maman’s 2024 advent calendars. You’ll thank yourself later if you’re one of them.
