If you’re an Aldi Advent calendar fan, you know the drill — Aldi's Advent calendars fly off the shelves every year, and as of Wednesday, Nov. 5, they're officially back on shelves.
Here's the thing about Aldi's Advent calendars: They've become so popular that certain ones will sell out within the first few days (or even hours). Aldi employees have even been known to hand out tickets to people standing in line on release day, just to make sure there's enough for everyone.
While there are a few things you don’t want to buy at Aldi due to the price point, these limited-quantity Advent calendars are for the most part a steal. Some fan favorites got pricier (looking at you, candle calendars), while others are actually cheaper than last year. I'll help you know which ones are the best value. Plus, we'll show you how to score the hottest deals in the Aldi weekly ad.

KCL TIP: Not all Aldi stores will sell alcohol Advent calendars, depending on your state's laws. If your store does sell them, there’ll likely be a limit of two alcohol calendars per person.
Aldi doesn't restock their Advent calendars, and they tend to sell out quickly.
Aldi doesn’t restock seasonal or limited-time items like the Advent calendars. So if you’re serious about getting one, head to your store as close to the release date as possible or ask a friend to buy one for you.
Because of high demand, some of the most popular calendars may already be selling fast. If you're heading out after the release date, be prepared for the possibility that certain styles (like Pokemon and Disney) could already be gone at your location.
You can't order Aldi Advent calendars online.
Aldi's Advent calendars aren't eligible for Aldi grocery pickup , so you can't order them online instead waiting outside the store. It's an in-store exclusive situation, which means the early bird really does get the worm (or in this case, the Pokemon calendar).
