Mark your calendars – we've got the inside intel on when the 2026 Harrods beauty advent calendars are coming
They're known to sell out fast, so here's how to get in early
Wait, hear us out! We might be in the height of summer, but if you want to get your hands on some of the most sought after advent calendars (ahem, like the Harrods Beauty Advent Calendars), you'll want to start thinking about it now.
We know we're still 5 months out from Christmas, essentially only halfway through the year, but we're actually right around the corner from the best beauty advent calendar pre-orders opening up – and let us tell you, they sell out fast. More specifically, Harrods' advent calendars are among the first to hit the market every year and they're also the first to sell out every year.
Fortunately, we've been given a first look at the luxury department store's trio of beauty advent calendars returning for 2026. From their price tags, number of full-size products and when we can expect them to go on sale, we've got everything you need to know.
Take a first look at the Harrods Beauty Advent Calendars 2026
The Harrods advent calendars gain traction every year without fail, and rightfully so. These curated calendar edits are jam-packed with an assortment of top shelf, luxury beauty buys from a collection of high-end brands.
While they might boast investment-worthy price tags, they do include an impressive number of full-sized formulas, meaning you're getting more bang for your buck. From a general beauty offering to a hair and body option, and of course the sell-out fragrance buy, here's the rundown of each 2026 calendar...
RRP: £225 | Number of days: 12 | Full-size products: 7
There's a reason this fragrance advent calendar is the first to sell out every year. Each drawer hosts a blend that has been expertly selected from some of the world's best fragrance houses, including Parfums de Marly, Ex Nihilo and Thameen. You'll get to experience a handful of different luxurious scents, from fresh florals to rich gourmands and opulent ouds.

The Harrods Beauty Advent Calendar is the centrepiece of this year's festive collection. The gold-foiled calendar makes home to 2026's most coveted launches and cult classic buys in the world of skincare, haircare, fragrance and makeup. Boasting 21 full-size products, and a selection of travel-friendly formulas, you'll be treated to iconic brands such as Augustinus Bader, Charlotte Tilbury, Sisley, Tatcha – and more.
RRP: £99 | Number of days: 12 | Full-size products: 9
Take your self care routine to the next level with the 12 Days of Hair & Body Advent Calendar. Enjoy 12 days of indulgence with luxe haircare, bodycare and beauty buys from some of the most popular names in the industry, such as Sol de Janeiro, Kérastase and Colour Wow. You'll unbox gloss-boosting haircare and nourishing body care formulas for the ultimate pamper evening ritual.
When is the Harrods Advent Calendar pre-sale?
While we don't know a specific date yet, the store have announced that pre-orders will be available in early August. However, it's worth noting that pre-sale for last year's calendars opened on Tuesday 5th August – and they were incredibly quick to sell out.
When do the Harrods Advent Calendars go on general sale?
Even if you miss out on pre-sale, not all hope is lost as the calendars go on general sale thereafter. Again, while we're yet to find out the exact date, last year we saw the full launch happen in September. We'd recommend keeping your eyes peeled on the Harrods website and we'll also keep this page updated as soon as we gain intelligence on the date in question.
