Updated for 2025! Each year, I begin updating this guide in September, when the first dairy-free advent calendars pop up. I finalize it during November, since some companies don’t officially release their advent calendars until weeks before the countdown begins. This year, I have dozens of options in North America, Europe and Australia to share with you. They include a variety of vegan and non-dairy advent calendars, plus highly-rated refillable and non-food advent calendars. You can jump ahead to each section with these links:
- The Chocolate Collection
- More Tasty Options Beyond Chocolate
- Non-Food Fun
- Fill Your Own Advent Calendars!

Availability: Some of these dairy-free advent calendars won’t be available until November 1st, the day after Halloween. We’re updating a little early this year because most companies sell out quickly! You might spot an accidentally dairy-free generic advent calendar on the cheap at your local stores, so look around! These are the brands you can count on with many special options that go well beyond the dollar store varieties.
Allergen Notes: All items listed below are dairy-free by ingredients. Almost all are gluten-free, too. But ingredients are subject to change at any time, and all products are at some degree of risk for allergen cross contamination, whether they have a “may contain” statement or not. Always read the label before consuming any food, contact the company to discuss allergen protocols as needed, and make sure you are familiar with this may contain information.

Purdy’s in Canada offers vegan chocolate advent calendars
We were going to add it Rachel, but Purdy’s completely removed it from their website. Hopefully it’s still in stores in Canada! We’ll keep this one on our radar for next year. Thank you!
The Bonne Maman preserves calendar as available last year at my Costco (Ontario, Canada)
It was a big hit with young and old.
Thanks for sharing this Susan! I bet it’s a good price at Costco, too.
So many great options this year! I have the Holland & Barrett (Xmas Tree) one and my colleague has their tea calendar – such a cute idea!
Thank you SO! Much ❤
Of course – happy to help!
Hello! Just went to purchase the Divine Dark Chocolate one on world market, and it says in the product info that it contains milk. Just thought you might like to know!
Hi Grace, I noticed that it says that on the World Market website too. Either it’s an error in writing or an error in the product they are representing. Divine has one with milk and one without. The Dark Chocolate one is vegan (but always verify that the manufacturing processes are okay for your needs) -> http://shop.divinechocolateusa.com/Dark-Chocolate-Advent-Calendar/p/DIV-004180&c=DivineChocolate@Christmas – I hope that helps!
Thank you for this post! I went to school this morning and was told that my daughter needed an advent calendar tomorrow to participate in the school countdown, with no advanced notice. Your list saved me and I was able to get one from Amanda’s Own. Thanks again!
Yay, Happy I could help Jereann!
How do I purchase one of these ? I live in Ontario
Hi Patti, I’ve included links to each one above. Some will be available in Canada and some won’t. For example, Amanda’s Chocolate & No Whey both ship to Canada.
So many great options!! I usually make ones for the girls and put a mix of different things activities, small trinkets, candy, a new Christmas book to add to the family collection, ect. Last year was kind of a fail so I wish I would have thought of some of these to fall back on.
It sounds like a fun adventure 🙂
Thank you for the updated list! I was just looking at your old one today! Another dairy free option is this adorable one online – my mom gave it to my children as a gif t, and we all enjoy it! https://www.jacquielawson.com/advent
Thanks Julie!
OH MY GOODNESS this is an incredible resource! I have several friends I am sharing this with, and many people I will be gifting these to… 🙂 🙂
Yay! (pats self on back for updating the list this year with plenty of time for people to actually get the advent calendars!)
My son is all about the lego calendar but I love all these DF options!
I’m with your son! Though I still have painful nightmares about stepping on legos as a kid 🙂
There are so many to choose from! This year, I think we will be getting the Lego one. Thanks for so many ideas!
Woohoo – they have a few different Lego ones!
Pingback: Amanda's Own Allergy-Friendly Chocolates - Review - Go Dairy Free

Nope, that one isn’t vegan. Thanks Liam!
