The Body Shop’s Ultimate Beauty Advent Calendar for 2025 is packed with 25 beauty products, including shampoo and conditioner, body washes, scrubs, face masks and hand creams.
When it comes to Christmas, I could take it or leave it. Festive fanatics, you can keep your turkey, your presents and your sherry.
I’m not overly fussed. But when it comes to advent calendars… that’s where my excitement lies. Sure, the standard £1 chocolate calendars from Asda are fantastic most of the time, and some of the more unique advent calendars revealing coffee or dice are thrilling too, but the real gems are in the fashion and beauty advent calendars.
There are countless brands offering their own versions, but today we’re focusing on one in particular: The Body Shop’s Ultimate Beauty Advent Calendar for 2025.

The Body Shop Advent Calendar is out now for Christmas 2025.
Let’s start with the key details: This advent calendar, which includes 25 items, is priced at what I deem a very reasonable £120, reports Essex Live. And that price becomes even more enticing when you discover that it’s reportedly worth £238, according to the Body Shop website.
This price divided by 25 products means the £120 price tag works out to just £4.80 per product. This is obviously a massive saving on some of the company’s most popular items.
Below, we’ve detailed every item in The Body Shop’s Ultimate Beauty Advent Calendar, but if you want to avoid spoilers for the full advent calendar, I’ve highlighted some of the standout items below. Starting with some of the bathing products.
Most notably for me, the Passionfruit Shower Gel has become a new daily staple in my routine. In fact, it’s become so integral in my day-to-day comings and goings that I fear it may have changed my life for the foreseeable future.
Not only is this product silky and perfectly frothy, but it also smells divine – to a massive degree. Every day my halls are filled with the delightful scent of passionfruit. I can’t envision not using this shower gel from now on.
Similarly, the full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner have become a joy to use. As someone with sensitive skin (with a particular dislike for many shampoos) these both slot seamlessly into my daily routines. No irritation, just pleasant scents, pampered vibes, and compliments from my partner on how glossy my hair looks.
Regrettably, my skin did react while using the Edelweiss Cleanser; a face product designed to “gently wash away impurities and pollutants for fresh, silky-soft skin”. However, considering every single product in The Body Shop’s Ultimate Beauty Advent Calendar is vegan, I’m confident this issue was more likely due to my problematic skin rather than the cleanser. Nonetheless, that was the only issue that cropped up. And the rest of the products I tried were outstanding.
From the multiple hand creams (rose, shea, coconut) and lip balms (almond, shea, mango, strawberry) to the body scrubs, face masks and multiple soap bars (moringa, pink grapefruit) – the entire box left little to be desired. The Camomile Sumptuous Makeup Cleansing Butter is also included, catering to those customers who prefer a gentler method of removing their daily makeup.
While I was smitten with nearly every product from The Body Shop’s Ultimate Beauty Advent Calendar for 2025, it might not be everyone’s cup of tea. Luckily, we advent calendar enthusiasts have a wealth of options to delve into. The Molton Brown Advent Calendar is one of the more expensive choices, and we recently gave it a thorough test here.
Alternatively, if you’re watching your pennies but still fancy some festive surprises, the much-loved Soap and Glory Advent Calendar is your top choice. We also penned an article about that here.
