MakeHampers alcohol advent calendars run 24 doors of wine, beer, prosecco or gin through December. Some are wooden clocks you keep. Refill them each year, and the calendar outlasts the drink inside it. Free UK delivery on every one.
An alcohol advent calendar is a 24-door calendar with a miniature drink behind each door, counted down to Christmas. Ours come as wine, beer, prosecco or gin, and a couple mix the formats. Each door is a single serve, so it is a taste a night through December, one at a time.
Behind the doors are miniatures and small cans, not the leftovers of a bigger pack. The whole point is the countdown, and finding a drink you would never have bought a full bottle of.
The formats split by what someone drinks. The wine calendar runs through reds, whites and a rosé. The beer calendar is 24 cans from independent breweries. The fizz calendar is prosecco, and the gin calendar is 24 miniatures to mix.
If what you want is a full case of one drink, our wine hampers and beer hampers do that instead. A calendar is for the countdown, a hamper is for the stock-up. The beer calendar is also one of our best Christmas hampers most years.
The line-up, side by side. Prices are on each one in the grid above.
| Calendar | Behind the doors | Format |
|---|---|---|
| Wine | 24 miniatures: red, white and rosé | Open once |
| Beer | 24 cans from independent breweries | Open once |
| Fizz | 24 prosecco miniatures | Open once |
| Gin Clock | 24 gin miniatures | Reusable wooden clock |
| Fizz Clock | 24 prosecco miniatures | Reusable wooden clock |
| Clock only | Empty, ready to fill yourself | Reusable wooden clock |
The wooden clocks are the part nobody else has. You buy the calendar once, then keep the clock and refill it with your own miniatures every December after. One purchase, years of use.
There is a clock-only option as well, for anyone who already knows what they want behind the doors. It is the cheapest way into the range, and the least wasteful, because nothing goes in the bin come January.
An advent calendar has to arrive before 1 December to be any use, so this is the one to order in November. Leave it later and you lose doors off the front of the month. The clocks especially sell through early. Browse the rest of the Christmas range, or find full timings on our delivery and returns page.

The drink behind the doors. Wine runs red, white and rosé, beer is cans from independent breweries, fizz is prosecco, and gin is miniatures to mix. Everything else about them is the same.
Yes. The clock-only option is the wooden calendar with nothing inside, ready for you to fill. It is the cheapest way in, and the one people come back to reuse.
