Zalando Beauty Advent Calendar: The Premium Beauty Vault
There is something about an advent calendar that makes even an ordinary December morning feel like an occasion. For 2026, Zalando’s Beauty Advent Calendar brings that daily anticipation to the dressing table, with 26 products tucked behind 24 doors, including 15 full sizes. Navy drawers, gold numbering and colourful gradient packaging set the scene for a month of small discoveries.
Inside, the selection moves between everyday routines and getting ready for festive evenings. Elemis’ Superfood Midnight Facial sleeping cream joins skincare from Shiseido, Clinique and Babor, while Pixi’s On-the-Glow Blush and Sweed’s Lash Lift Mascara sit alongside makeup from MAC and Kiko Milano. This year’s edition also doubles its Korean beauty offering compared with last year and introduces fragrance to the countdown for the first time.
Haircare has its place among the drawers, too, with Kérastase Nutritive, Living Proof’s Perfect Hair Day dry shampoo and Aveda’s Botanical Repair strengthening masque. A silk scrunchie from Slip and body care from Rituals and Sol de Janeiro round out the selection.
Alongside the calendar, four gift sets offer a more focused edit. New for 2026, the Face Bag gathers makeup and skincare from brands including Laura Mercier, Pixi and Danessa Myricks in a pink quilted pouch by Even&Odd. The Men’s Grooming Bag pairs a YOURTURN washbag with products from Avant, Babor, Rituals and STMNT.
The two-drawer Hair Box brings together treatments from Olaplex and L’Oréal Professionnel, alongside Rahua shampoo and an Invisibobble heatless curling set. For quieter evenings during the holiday rush, the Reset Box combines face and hair masks with Fekkai haircare and Elizabeth Arden’s White Tea body cream.
