As the holiday season approaches, many of us start to anticipate the delicious and festive foods that we will indulge in. For some, the first thing that comes to mind is opening an advent calendar. There's nothing quite like having a small treat to look forward to each day leading up to Christmas. While most people might opt for a chocolate or a sweet surprise, there are some of us who prefer a savory snack. Well, if you fall into that category, Walkers has got you covered! The crisp giant has just released their very own advent calendar for Christmas 2024, filled with packets of their most popular flavors.
Inside this unique advent calendar, you'll find a variety of classic flavors from Ready Salted to Prawn Cocktail and Cheese & Onion. And the best part? There are 24 packs in total, one for each day leading up to Christmas. When news of this product hit the shelves, some crisp fans couldn't contain their excitement, claiming it was their "dream" and they absolutely "needed" to buy it. Others, however, were a bit taken aback by the price and thought it was a bit "stupid."
Some food bloggers, like @newfoodsuk and @uknewestfoods, were quick to share their find on social media, giving us a sneak peek at the advent calendar available at Iceland for £10. But not everyone was impressed, with some commenting that it was "robbery" and "made no sense at all" since you could just purchase a multi-pack of crisps for much cheaper. As one person pointed out, you could even make your own advent calendar with those packs and still save money.
Over on TikTok, people were also surprised by the price, with one user saying that it would be cheaper to just buy the packs separately and that you're essentially paying for the box. But not everyone was deterred by the cost, as @christmascountdownuk exclaimed, "My prayers have finally been answered with this crisps advent calendar!"
Metro reached out to Walkers for comment, but the question remains: would you be willing to shell out £10 for this unique advent calendar, or do you think it's overpriced?
If you thought £10 was a bit steep for an advent calendar, wait until you hear about the giant Lindt one being sold at Costco. The anonymous food blogger behind UK Newest Foods shared a video on social media, showing off this massive advent calendar that stands at five feet tall and costs a whopping £180.
But don't expect to find any small chocolates in this advent calendar. Instead, you'll be treated to full-size Lindt gold reindeers and bears, 200g boxes of different flavored Lindor sweets, Lindt Crispy Bites, a sharing bag of Lindt Teddys, and Lindt Choco Hazelnut wafers. Sounds like a chocolate lover's dream, right?
Well, according to UK Newest Foods, this advent calendar might be a bit of a letdown. In their series of reviewing different advent calendars, they declared this one as the "best and worst." While it's amazing to look at and stands at an impressive five feet, the blogger claims it's terrible value for money. They did some research and found that if you were to purchase all the products separately, it would only cost around £90.
