Cheese Advent Calendars<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Advent and countdown calendars are a relatively modern holiday tradition, allegedly developed as a children\u2019s activity in the 1800s in Germany in order to give mothers a break from having to answer the incessant, \u201cHow many more days until?\u201d questioning from their offspring. The first chocolate-filled advent calendar available commercially came into being in 1958, becoming mainstream by the 1990s, and set in motion an advent calendar craze. In the last decade or so, it\u2019s hard to name a food or beverage that hasn\u2019t been staged behind perforated cardboard windows to delight consumers of all ages.<\/p>\n

Naturally, since cheese has also found its rightful place in the Advent calendar canon, we are here for it, especially when paired with another Advent calendar, perhaps featuring chocolate, jam, nuts, hot sauce, sausage, etc. As these things have a tendency to sell out, we\u2019re giving you a head start by calling out some of the top cheese (or dairy) advent or countdown calendars you\u2019ll want to get your hands on this year. Start by making space in your refrigerator, and check out the following calendars.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Aldi Advent Cheese Calendar<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As a German grocery chain, it follows that Aldi is one of the largest purveyors of advent calendars every year, and the fervor around scoring one is real, since they arrive in limited quantities and can only be purchased in-store. Aldi\u2019s Emporium Selection Cheese Advent Calendar features 24 European cheese samples, about a half-ounce apiece, and have retailed for about $16.99 in years past. 2024\u2019s calendar featured cheeses such as Mimolette, Aged Gouda, and Red Leicester, as well as many flavored cheeses, and Aldi is known to switch up the selection from year to year.<\/p>\n

Last year, Aldi\u2019s calendars were available in store from November 6. If you sign up for their email newsletter<\/a>, you can be among the first to know when to expect them this year, but typically the first Wednesday in November is known among Aldi fans as Advent Calendar Day. For competitive shoppers, one Aldi reviewer suggests that the cheese, wine, and chocolate calendars from Aldi coordinate with one another: the packaging on the cheese calendar gives pairings for each cheese that match what\u2019s on offer in other calendars. The wine calendar is apparently in the highest demand, so you\u2019re going to need to be ready to shop in early November to make this happen.<\/p>\n
