(Updated December 2020) | December, the month of gifts, family, and food, is upon us. Lots of things are going to be different about the holiday season this year; we may have to settle for virtual gatherings and mailing presents to loved ones. But there is one tradition we can all keep to safely: advent calendars. If you’re after vegan candy or chocolate, you have plenty to choose from. If cruelty-free beauty is more your thing, there are more options than ever before. You can even get eco-friendly tea bags in advent calendars now—the days of slim vegan pickings are officially over. To celebrate the abundance of choice, here are our top cruelty-free picks for your Christmas countdown.
9 Vegan Christmas Advent Calendars for a Cruelty-Free Holiday Season
1. Moo Free White Choccy Advent Calendar
Moo Free is on a mission to offer dairy-free chocolate options that compete with their dairy counterparts on taste, quality, and price. Its latest advent calendar offering is packed with vegan white chocolates, “perfect for dairy dodging Christmas choccy chompers.” And you can munch with a clean conscience, as all of the cocoa butter used in the chocolate is UTZ certified. Together with the Rainforest Alliance, UTZ is working to protect natural resources, as well as farmers, in the cocoa industry.

6. Nono Cocoa Limited Edition Vegan Advent Calendar
Alessandra Bester founded free-from brand Nono Cocoa for her son, who has autism. “[He] learned the word ‘no,’ and as an autistic, he would repeat it a lot,” she explains on the brand’s website. In a bid to make healthier versions of the foods her son would eat, she created Nono Cocoa. This year, Bester’s brand has created a 24 Collection Vegan Chocolate Gift Box, ideal to munch on in place of an advent calendar. Some of the unique (and delicious) chocolate flavors in the box include Dark Blood Orange, Golden Milk, Rose, and Caffe Latte.
