Beauty Calendars Launch Early Amid High Demand
The 2025 holiday season has begun for the beauty industry, with Advent calendars launching as early as September. High consumer demand continues to drive this trend, with many top-tier calendars selling out long before December.
Retailers are capitalizing on the popularity of these limited-edition sets, which offer consumers high-value products at a fraction of their retail price. This year, two calendars are dominating the conversation: one for luxury and one for value.
Top Contenders for 2025
Space NK: Crowned the best overall calendar by numerous beauty experts for its exceptional value and luxury brand lineup.
Lookfantastic: Recognized as the best value option, providing a wide range of popular products for a more accessible price.
The early launches and subsequent rapid sell-outs indicate a strategic shift in holiday marketing, turning these calendars into highly anticipated, standalone retail events.
