Best Overall Coffee Advent Calendar
Bean Box 12 Mornings of Coffee
This coffee Advent calendar is the perfect way to start your holidays with a little extra pep in your step! Bean Box is known for its delicious coffee subscription boxes, and their 12 Mornings of Coffee Advent calendar already has our mouths watering over their specialty roasts.
Back for 2023, the popular coffee Advent calendar features 12, limited-edition holiday blends. I tried the Bean Box coffee Advent calendar, and I love waking up to a new, yummy surprise each morning. Because I prefer my coffee strong, I’ve found that each coffee packet brews enough for two large mugs. But of course, it also brews four to six cups, as the box notes.
I won’t give away all the surprises, but let’s just say every blend is exactly what Christmas dreams are made of (there’s a rich milk and cookies blend). Be your own at-home barista with this coffee calendar this Christmas.
We also recommend pairing it with the Bonne Maman jam Advent calendar for tasty mornings all December long.
Pros
- Holiday coffee flavors
- Expertly curated from specialty coffee roasters
- Brews 4-6 cups
- Available as whole bean or ground coffee

Best Keurig Coffee Advent Calendar
Keurig 24 Cups of Cheer Countdown
Yes, one of the best single-serve coffee makers is making the holidays bright with their very own coffee countdown. Senior Shopping Editor, Cher Checchio, tested the Keurig Advent calendar and notes, “I already rely on my Keurig for delicious, quick coffee, so I was ecstatic to try this Advent calendar variety pack to experience a holiday brew during the 24 days leading up to Christmas. My first pick on the calendar was the Green Mountain holiday blend, which has notes of dark fruit, caramel, chocolate and a hint of spice.”
Cher adds that the surprise of not knowing which flavor is behind each day really adds to the holiday fun. “It was truly like giving myself a gift every morning—the gift of delicious java,” says Cher. “I was so happy when I got to try the Red Velvet Latte with notes of cream cheese frosting and cocoa. Although I was hoping to get more of the cream cheese essence, it’s the smoothness of the cocoa that takes center stage. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised by these full-bodied, festive flavors.”

- 24 days of coffee pods
- Variety of holiday coffee flavors
- Name brands included
- Recyclable K-Cup pods
Cons
