"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

Around the holidays, patience is a particularly crucial virtue—ask anyone who has had their nerves frayed by kids, in-laws, and or Wham!’s “Last Christmas” on repeat. If only you had something to mark the time. If only you could treat yourself every day. If only you had a luxury advent calendar. Fortunately in 2023, there are plenty of options to countdown the season, whether you’re treating your whiskey-lover boyfriend; your beauty-obsessed sister; or yourself. Not only do these luxury advent calendars yield tempting daily treats (think Diptyque candles, indulgent Vosges chocolates, and—yes—Crème de la Mer), but they also come in super-stylish packaging to flaunt on your holiday mantel. See below for our 22 favorites to choose from this year (snap these beauties up quickly before they sell out), and see if you can resist the temptation to open just one door per day!
