The White Company advent calendar 2026: what's inside, and similar calendars on Amazon

By Rowan Hale · 8 October 2026

The White Company's advent calendar is one of the most popular in the UK, and it's built around home fragrance: candles, diffusers and room sprays, alongside bath, body and hand care. The 2026 edition has 25 products, seven of them full size, which published contents lists say is more than in any previous year.

According to those lists, the full-size products are the Winter and Lime & Bay Signature Candles (140g each), Santa Rosa and Flowers eaux de toilette (30ml each), Seychelles Bath & Shower Gel (250ml), Amalfi Lemon Room Spray (95ml) and Sea Salt Body Lotion (250ml). The rest include Pomegranate and Seychelles votives, three mini diffusers, three mini home sprays, hand washes and hand creams, and a limited-edition Seychelles shampoo and conditioner.

The White Company sells the calendar through its own website and shops. I couldn't find it sold by The White Company on Amazon UK, so there's no link to it here: buy it direct, and be wary of resellers. If you'd rather shop on Amazon, these three calendars cover similar ground.

1Closest for fragrance

Molton Brown Beauty Advent Calendar 2026

Molton Brown's calendar is also built around scent: eight eaux de parfum including a full-size 30ml bottle, two scented candles, shower gels, body creams and hand care, plus a travel case. It leans more towards perfume than The White Company's, which leans towards home fragrance, so choose it for someone who loves wearing scent.

2Closest for home and bath

Rituals The Ritual of Advent Premium Advent Calendar 2026

Like The White Company's calendar, Rituals' Premium mixes home fragrance with bath and body care. For 2026 it's a train with three detachable carriages and 24 doors, and Rituals says six of the products are full size. Choose it for someone who will enjoy the box as a decoration too.

3A simpler alternative

Rituals Classic 24 Day Advent Calendar 2026

Rituals' Classic calendar has 24 doors in a simpler box. Rituals says two of its products are full size, and the rest are travel sizes of body oils, scrubs, shower foams and haircare, plus four mini candles. It suits someone who wants a daily bath-and-body treat more than a showpiece.

How I chose

I picked calendars sold on Amazon UK that cover the same ground as The White Company's: candles and home fragrance, bath and body care, and hand care. I haven't opened any of these calendars. Their contents come from each brand's listing and published contents lists, and can differ slightly from what arrives.

The White Company's contents come from published lists of the 2026 calendar, which differ on small details, such as whether it has 24 or 25 drawers. Check The White Company's own listing before you buy.

No brand paid to be included.
