The holiday season is fast approaching, and with it comes the yearly slew of seasonal stress. To avoid scrambling for a last-minute gift and losing your proverbial marbles, you might want to consider getting organised ahead of time. Fret not, however—we’re here to make things as easy for you as possible.
We’ve curated a list of the best holiday advent calendars you can get in Malaysia, the first instalment in our holiday beauty gift guide series:
Elemis
No. 25 Beauty Advent Calendar, RM1,050
READ: The Elemis Pro-Collagen Overnight Matrix is totally worth the RM900 price tag—here’s why
Though this brand is new in our market, it’s a real veteran in the global beauty world. Of their celebrated product lineup, this seasonal launch is the most exciting—the Elemis advent calendar is a 25-part advent calendar filled with the brand’s best beauty buys. Within this calendar, you’ll find an array of wonderful beauty goodies, including a full-sized version of the brand’s best-selling Pro-Collagen Marine Cream.
Available from November 5 at Elemis’ 1Utama and Pavilion stores and online on their website.
Chanel
The Calendar, RM3,090
If you’re looking for an advent calendar that embodies the essence of luxury, this is the one for you. Shaped like a huge bottle of the house’s emblematic N°5 fragrance, this holiday calendar is packed with some of the brand’s most iconic staples. Without spoiling too much, you can expect to find a limited-edition Rouge Allure lipstick, a new shade of Le Vernis, and a bottle of the N°5 Eau de Parfum, as well as a host of other products inspired by the fragrance.
Another fun detail with the calendar is the unconventional numbering system—the 27 boxes are numbered from ‘5’ to ’31’ as opposed to 1 to 27—five for the perfume and 31 for the mythical address. It’s perfect for gifting this holiday season (or to keep for yourself—we won’t judge).
Available exclusively in Chanel fragrance and Beauty boutiques.

The Premium Advent Calendar, RM388
L’Occitane has actually launched two advent calendars this year, the Classic and the Premium, both of which are filled to the brim with the brand’s best beauty products. We’d have included them both, but as this is a roundup of the very best advent calendars only, our personal pick is the Premium. Why? Well, within this calendar, you’ll find 24 cult-favourite products from the brand, including five full-sized products worth RM277. The packaging isn’t anything to snub either—intricately decorated and embossed with gold foil stamping, it’s a memorable keepsake that will look great on your vanity.
