It wasn’t that many years ago that the vast majority of advent calendars and Christmas countdown calendars consisted of a picture of a kid-friendly festive scene with scattered, punchable doors concealing little milk chocolates for each day of the December leading up to Christmas. However, no longer are all advent calendars merely masquerading as a decorated box of mediocre chocolates, but there is also a plethora of advent calendars geared for men. That’s right — adults can now join in the fun of counting down the days until Christmas with grown-up versions containing everything from shaving products or socks to beer or gourmet hot sauces. So, if you want to embrace the excitement and anticipation you felt as a kid as the Christmas holiday approached, consider grabbing one of our picks for the best 2022 advent calendars for men.
