Bonne Maman has just released its limited edition 2024 Advent calendar

In the not-so-distant past, you would have been hard-pressed to find anything other than chocolate behind the doors of an Advent calendar. Thankfully, that’s no longer the case. Last year’s calendars contained an impressive selection of sweet surprises such as cookies, caramels, licorice and other delicious festive desserts.

But the honor of the most eagerly awaited new release—and the only one that can kick off our August holiday countdown—goes to French company Bonne Maman. While the brand’s classic jellies, spreads, and jams are ubiquitous in grocery stores across the United States, their limited-edition Advent calendar brings all-new flavors to try. In fact, demand was so high last year that the company implemented a limit of two calendars per order for the 2024 season. We recommend 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 traveling through a snowy village. Children play in the background, jars of jam decorate the trees, and presents lie scattered on the ground. Hidden in 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 pepper, apricot with orange blossom, lemon with elderflower, purple fig with cinnamon, and caramel with coffee. The design, paired with the brand’s limited edition flavors, makes this the perfect Christmas gift for yourself or a loved one.

Comments on Bonne Maman’s website about the 2023 release read like a billet-doux, praising the creative combinations, cute jars and festive design. “This will be an annual purchase from now on,” wrote one of the satisfied customers. “It’s the perfect gift for people who ‘have everything’ and for 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 get their hands on one of Bonne Maman’s 2024 Advent calendars. You’ll thank yourself later if you’re one of them.
