If you’re excited about Aldi’s Advent calendars, you know it’s that time of year. A new batch of nearly two dozen Aldi calendars got restocked on the morning of Nov. 6, and this first release is always the biggest.
Here's the thing about Aldi's Advent calendars, though: they've become so popular that certain ones will sell out within the first few days. Aldi employees have even been known to hand out tickets to people standing in line on the release day, just to ensure that there's enough for everyone. The beer and wine Advent calendars go particularly fast, so expect those to be popular in 2024 as well.
While there are a few things you don’t want to buy at Aldi due to the price point, these limited-quantity Advent calendars sure aren’t one of them, and I'll help you know which are the best value. We can also help you navigate the hottest deals in the Aldi weekly ad.

Aldi releases over a dozen limited-edition Advent calendars each year starting in early November.
Every November, Aldi releases an assortment of holiday-themed Advent calendars in their stores, with the full selection posted on their website around the time they launch.
The first release is always the biggest (and the best, in our opinion). It usually includes the highly sought-after Aldi Wine Advent Calendar, the Beer Advent Calendar, the Cheese Calendar, and toy calendars featuring Legos and puzzles.
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.
New Aldi Advent calendars officially dropped on Nov. 6, 2024.
Aldi released their first batch of 2024 Advent calendars in stores on Wednesday, Nov. 6, 2024.
This is the exact date we originally predicted, since it just so happens to be National Advent Calendar Day. If they follow the same release pattern from previous years, the second wave of a few more calendars will likely arrive on Nov. 27 (the day before Thanksgiving), with the final wave landing in stores on Dec. 4.
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, plan to be there early on release day — or ask a friend to buy one for you.
Because of high demand, you’ll want to line up about an hour before your store opens in order to buy them on release day. Store employees often hand out tickets to shoppers standing in line in order to ensure you're not waiting in line for nothing.
You can't order Aldi Advent calendars online.
In prior years, Aldi’s Advent calendars weren't eligible for Aldi grocery pickup, so you couldn't skip the line and order them online instead.
