The holiday season is sneaking in early at Aldi. If you’re already thinking about how to stretch your budget while still indulging a little, the chain’s November 2025 “Aldi Finds” lineup is worth a look. This year, the Aldi Advent calendars make a major return — right alongside snacks for entertaining, dessert surprises, and holiday-ready convenience items.
What’s New & What’s Dropping
On November 5, Aldi launched a core set of seasonal must-have Advent calendars. Among them:
- Aldi Emporium Selection Cheese Advent Calendar – $16.99 (A 24-window box featuring mini European cheeses)
- Wine calendar – $59.99 (24 bottles or 24 windows of wine, depending on the version)
- 12 Days of Beer – $19.99
- Barissimo Coffee Cup Advent Calendar – $16.99
- Benner Assorted Tea Advent Calendar – $7.99
- Burman’s Hot Sauce Advent Calendar – $14.99
- And more: a “Make It Sparkle” sparkling wine variety pack, imported Italian desserts, premium scones, hot-honey corn-bread stuffing…
What This Means for the Budget Conscious
If you’re in the “save while I still treat myself” mindset, this is a win. Aldi is putting quality items into its “finds” category at prices that are clearly meant to feel reasonable. The advent calendars especially stand out: They’re not cheap novelty trinkets, but items with a little more thought behind them (cheese, wine, hot sauce, coffee), and you’re still getting them at a price that’s lower than many high-end alternatives.
That said, these are limited-time items; once they sell out, they’re gone. According to past coverage, after the early-November rollout, restocks are rare. So if you see one you like, don’t wait too long.
How Aldi’s Advent Calendar Prices Stack Up
Let’s put a few of these into perspective so you can decide whether they’re truly “budget-friendly” or just “less expensive than premium.”
- At $16.99, Aldi’s Cheese Advent Calendar remains at the same price point as previous years.
- At $59.99 for 24 bottles, Aldi’s Wine Advent Calendar breaks down to about $2.50 per bottle.
- By comparison, premium cheese advent calendars, like Williams-Sonoma’s 12 Days of Cheese Advent Calendar, run about $129.95.
- And premium chocolate or specialty calendars elsewhere can run $30–80 or more, depending on the brand.
Bottom line: Aldi Advent calendars are, in many cases, a fraction of the cost of other Advent calendars out there.
