’Tis the damn season — but you do have to get through the thousands of pictures of happy cozy cuffed up couples clogging up your social media feed before you can get to the big day. And while you might be happily single the rest of the year, that can turn even the best of us into Grinches.
Don’t worry, we have just the thing to send your on your sleigh to O town: this 12-day Advent calendar from Lovehoney, which will help you stuff your stocking (that is, your G-spot or P-spot) with a curved dildo, with clitoral vibrations to boot, thanks to its shell-shaped suction toy, mini magic wand, and bullet vibrator.
So basically, everything you need to have yourself a merry little Christmas!

There’s even lingerie and light bondage accessories — and because the sex tech wizards at Sinful are O-so giving, they’ve even included batteries, chargers, and instructions for each toy.
Yeah, we’ve pre-emptively cancelled all our plans for December, too.
Satisfyer Deluxe Erotic Calendar

Features at a Glance
| Release date | It's starting to get festive outside, so now — duh! |
|---|---|
| Number of days | 24 |
| Top gift | Fun Factory rabbit vibrator and clit suction toy |
The purveyors of the cutesiest sex toys in the land, Satisfyer, has teamed up with Fun Factory and Penthouse to bring you this 24-day Advent calendar.
Now, we have to admit we are totally shallow enough to praise the appearance of this calendar (and not ashamed) because the outside shows a snowy scene with a house similar to the Grand Budapest Hotel that will transport you straight into the Christmas spirit.
And inside is an equally exciting host of festive fun, thanks to the winged lilac rabbit vibrator and clit suction toy, accompanied with plenty of accoutrements for cuffing, plugging, and tickling your way to orgasm.
Don’t worry, though, you’ll have plenty to make you smell like a Christmas baked good, as this comes with a pumpkin-flavoured massage candle, as well as a Christmas cookie-scented massage oil, and two lubes to boot (the house down). Erotic as hell, confirmed.
So Divine 7 Nights of Delight Sex Toy Advent Calendar
So Divine 7 Nights of Delight Sex Toy Advent Calendar
Pros
- For those who don't want 24 sex toys to add to their collection
- Something for everyone
- Could be for any time of year, not just Christmas!
Cons
- Not the most adventurous selection on our list
| Release date | Now — sooo divine |
|---|---|
| Worth | £140 |
| Number of days | 7 |
| Top gift | Mini massage wand |
There’s enough going on at Christmas as it stands, so 24 extra teeny gifts you have to find places for might not be everyone’s cup of eggnog.
While your mam might argue that a week at home with her home cooking is seven nights of delight aplenty (and we haven’t tasted her food, but we’d be inclined to agree).
You’ll need something for after hours, though — so for a collection you can rely on all year round, and easily stash in your bedside table, So Divine has created a seven-day calendar, stocked with the sex toy essentials. Divine, darling!
Lovehoney Romance 12 Day Advent Calendar
Lovehoney X We-Vibe Romance Advent Calendar 2025 12 Day - Pink

Cons
- Doesn't come with as many things as the otger Lovehoney calendars — but you might be thankful for that!
| Release date | You'll be coming in time for Christmas — as it's out now |
|---|---|
| Worth | £268.88 |
| Number of days | 12 |
| Top gift | We-Vibe Jive 2 |
We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: these Lovehoney Advent calendars pay for themselves, thanks to the inclusion of pricey C-shaped We-Vibe couples toys. This Romance calendar comes with the We-Vibe Jive 2, which features an egg-shaped insertable G-spot end, and can be controlled by the We-Vibe remote app.
If that’s not enough to make you come together, the calendar has everything you need to woo your boo, from tingly orgasm balm, to a mini massage wand, silk wrist restraints, massage oil and a massager (that alien shaped plastic thing, FYI), and even a panty vibrator.
When does Advent start in 2025?
Advent kicks off on Sunday November 30 and ends on Wednesday December 24, but what exactly is Advent?
Well, the little Latin word actually means ‘arrival’ and refers to the four weeks leading up to Christmas, otherwise known as Jesus Christ’s bday. Although in our house it’s an excuse to eat, drink, and be merry while wearing sequins or festive PJs.
When do Advent calendars go on sale?
There’s still plenty of time to go before Christmas, but lots of retailers like to spread the festive cheer early. That’s why loads of brands, including Lovehoney, Ann Summers, and Sinful, have made sure their sultry stockings are available to shop right now, but a little partridge in a pear tree tells us there might be more offerings from TENGA, Bondara, and She Spot coming — so sleep with one eye open for those!
But don’t hang around: these have a habit of sprinting off the shelves, and we wouldn’t want you to miss out.
How we test the best sex toy Advent calendars
Your sexual satisfaction is snow joke to us — hence our sex writers, editors, and a host of willing volunteers have spent the last few weeks getting in the festive spirit.
With each team member gifted a sex toy Advent calendar, they were directed to dive behind the cardboard doors, preferably in the order they were intended, to rate and review their pulsing presents. Then came their final verdict, which involved deciding whether they’d place it on Santa’s naughty or nice list.
At the time of testing, everyone identified as female, male, or gender-neutral, and sat at various points on the age (22-43) and neurodiversity spectrums. Some elves were joined by their partners while others masturbated solo (some with a bit of Mariah in the background).
Meet the expert
I’m a queer cis woman in her mid-20s who has been writing and podcasting about sex and relationships for the last five years. In that time, I’ve been lucky enough to test hundreds of sex toys — most of them in my role as Senior Sex and Relationships E-Commerce Writer at Cosmo, so you can trust that when I recommend a sex toy, I know what I’m talking about.
Check out some of my reviews:
- ‘I tried Ann Summers’ 12 Nights of Seduction Advent calendar — and trust me: it promises year-round orgasms’
- ‘Womanizer claims its Enhance vibrator has a 100% orgasm rate — we’ll be the judge of that’
- ‘I’m a sex writer and the Womanizer Vibe is the quietest sex toy I’ve ever tried’
Final verdict
Anything providing pleasure products that can be used year-round is worth the money in our books, but each brand has its own approach to sex toy Advent calendars, so it’s worth shopping around to find the right one for you.
Obviously, we’ve already done that work for you, so here’s a round-up of which calendars work for each sexy situation you might find yourself in this festive season.
- Best for couples: Ann Summers 12 Nights of Seduction (for softer sensation play seekers), Lovehoney Romance 12 Days (to begin exploring sex toys together), So Divine 7 Nights of Delight (if you don’t need more ‘things’ than you already have), and Sinful Original Advent Calendar (for kinky, vanilla, and everything-in-between sex).
- Best for single baddies: Ann Summers 12 Nights of Exploration (for toys that can be used solo or on your next one night stand), Lovehoney Enjoy Advent Calendar 24 Days (for beginners), and Lovehoney Indulge 12 Day Calendar (best for one of each kind of sex toy).
- Best for getting kinky with it: Sinful Dark Advent Calendar (for sampling all the aspects of BDSM), Ann Summers 12 Nights of Temptation (for BDSM beginners).
As always, Lovehoney and Ann Summers have thrown their Advent calendar game out of the park, with seven sex toy Advent calendars between them. But we’re also pleased to see brands like Sinful picking up pace, with three Advent calendars to choose from.
Our sex writer’s personal fave, though? It’s gotta be Lovehoney’s 24-Day Couples Calendar. It comes with two covetable sex toys — the Womanizer and a We-Vibe Sync toys — more than making up for its £149 price tag.
But even more than that, while the toys are designed to be used with a partner, they can easily be used for some solo time to get to know yourself, or purchased by a sexy single to use with casual partners. There’s something for everybody, and you’ll truly be getting off all year round. Unreal!
