Aldi Has Revealed its Full Lineup of 2021 Advent Calendars

Last Updated on November 19, 2021

Aldi has revealed its complete list of novelty Advent calendars for the 2021 holiday season. Calendars are scheduled to arrive in stores Wednesday, November 3rd, 2021. This day — the first Wednesday in November — is also known as National Advent Calendar Day, a holiday Aldi created in 2020.

This year’s Aldi Advent calendars include classics such as the wine, beer, cheese, chocolate, coffee, candle, and toy Advent calendars. In addition, we’ve spotted some new Advent calendars in the lineup, including a gnome-themed calendar, Elf calendars, and A Christmas Story calendars. Noticeably absent are the storybook Advent calendars Aldi has sold for the past few years.

Advent calendars have increased in popularity over the last several years. Each calendar features small doors with surprises behind them, and you open one door each day from December 1st through Christmas Eve for a fun way to count down to Christmas Day.

The Aldi Advent calendars are all Aldi Finds, which means they’re only in stores for a short time. Each store receives a limited number of Advent calendars, and some of the most popular ones — the wine calendar, in particular — tend to sell out quickly.

Aldi has implemented a line ticket system during the last few years to help with crowd control on the morning the wine calendars hit shelves. We still highly recommend that you arrive at your local Aldi store first thing on the morning of November 3rd to have the best chance of getting the wine calendar. Also keep in mind that cheese and alcohol Advent calendars are not available for online ordering for delivery or curbside pickup; instead they must be purchased in person at the store.

Keep reading for the full list of 2021 Aldi Advent calendars, along with prices. We’ve also included links to full reviews of the Advent calendars we’ve tried, if you’re curious about how good some of them are.
