Every December, Aldi stores across the country are filled with an array of holiday items—from new festive foods to try, to decor and accent pieces that are bound to bring just the right amount of cheer into your home. The chain also loves an advent calendar, and releases dozens each year so people with a variety of hobbies, interests, and tastes can usher in the holiday season with a special treat.

Keep reading for our roundup of the food-focused Aldi advent calendars you need this year, and act quickly since they tend to sell out fast!
