Yahoo News Best gin advent calendar: Have a very merry Christmas countdown OLD
*In the voice of Noddy from Slade* “It’s CHRISTMAS………….!”
Well not quite yet but it is time to select this year’s advent calendar, because if there’s one thing we can all agree on, 2020 has been a LOT.
As such, we think there’s never been a better excuse to start the day with a miniature gin. (Oh ok, you can wait until the 5pm daily briefing if you must).
If until now, you’ve only had the pleasure of a chocolate advent calendar (or god forbid, just a cardboard picture one), prepare to have your mind blown. Yes, that’s right, for the month of December you’re legitimately allowed to open a gin-based treat every single day. All in the spirit of Christmas of course.
There are a few key things to consider when selecting the best calendar for you, or your loved one. Although most offer the full 24 days of treats, some only have 12 windows, but no one wants to be accused of being a bah humbug, so we’d always advocate for going all out. However, if space is an issue, a smaller, half month countdown could be a better option for you – some of these calendars take up a lot of floor space.
Whether it’s old Tom, London dry, sloe or flavoured gins you prefer, with this definitive selection of the very best gin advent calendars for 2020, you should discover some new favourites along the way.
Packed with juniper goodness, these gin-vent calendars always tend to sell out early, so to make sure your countdown gets off to a swimming start, we’d suggest getting in there early. The only difficulty will be finding somewhere to stash it until 1 December.
