Advent calendars have come a long way since the stale chocolate boxes of our childhood. These days, you can find them in all kinds of adult varieties, including beer, wine and gin, and now, finally, the greatest incarnation of them all, cheese.

That’s right, you can now pick up a 12 Days of Cheesemas advent calendar from Woolworths, allowing you to count down the days ’til Christmas with all your favourite curds (that is, if you don’t end up scoffing the lot on day one).

Priced at $16, the calendar includes 12 miniature British cheeses, with a line-up that includes applewood smoked cheddar, red Leicester, double Gloucester, Ilchester mature cheddar, and Wensleydale with cranberries.

And if that wasn’t already perfect enough, you’ll also find a cheesy joke behind every little door.

For maximum enjoyment, pair with a Christmas album and a French wine advent calendar.

The Aurora ‘12 Days of Cheesemas’ Advent Calendar is priced at $16 and available exclusively from Woolworths, while stocks last.
