For some people, the end of October and spooky celebrations mark the beginning of the holiday season. What better way to get in the holiday spirit than with an advent calendar? The Bonne Maman advent calendar for 2024 is now available, bringing a variety of mini jams to your dorm or apartment.
What is included in the advent calendar?
This year’s calendar includes 24 doors that reveal seasonal spreads. Flavors include Caramel with Coffee, Apricot with Orange Blossom, Guava, Raspberry and Rose, and more limited-edition options.
In past years, the flavors offered have differed. Some of the ones offered in 2023 were Raspberry Chocolate, Caramel Cinnamon, Apricot Lavender, and Strawberry Rhubarb. No matter what your taste, it seems that Bonne Maman has got you covered with the variety of flavors offered in the advent calendar.
Bonne Maman’s website said the calendar is perfect for both gifting and treating yourself and “spreads joy and celebrates the holidays in a deliciously unforgettable way.”
People online love this advent calendar because it’s a chance to try so many different flavors of jam. Content creator @beanhorsecar, who has bought the advent calendar in past years, likes that this year’s flavors are more fruity and floral compared to last year’s emphasis on more typical “Christmasy” flavors such as those with lots of warming spices.
Something else that she mentioned was that this year’s flavors are a combination of ingredients from year’s past. Two years ago, there was a Cherry Elderflower flavor, and this year, elderflower is mixed with lemon. She said she thinks this year there is a great lineup of flavors and is excited.
Although you’re likely to use all of the flavors before Christmas rolls around, the spreads are good until June 2025. So you can enjoy those 24 mini jars long after the holidays. Even better, they are made with no high-fructose corn syrup and no preservatives or added color.
This year’s calendar also features new artwork from previous years, showing a festive illustration of Santa’s gift train.
Where can you get the advent calendar?
