It’s the arrival we’ve all been waiting for. No, not the visiting relos but Aldi’s annual Gin Advent Calendar.

If opening a teeny, tiny door to find a small square of stale chocolate doesn’t quite thrill you like it used to, this boozy gin version promises to do the trick.

The annual calendar contains 12 x 50ml mini bottles of gin, with offerings from around the world, including Greenall’s, Bombay Sapphire, J.J Whitley, Hayman’s, and more ($59.99).

And it’s not the only boozy buy that Aldi has in store for us this festive season. Also launching on the same day will be a gin liqueur gift pack ($49.99), a Hoppy Christmas 24 x beer advent calendar ($64.99) and a 12 Days of Craftmas craft beer calendar ($39.99). Get the lot and it will be Christmas before you know it.

The Aldi gin, beer and wine advent calendars will be available to purchase this November 11 in selected NSW, ACT, Vic and WA stores.
