Dairy-Free Advent Calendars: Our Complete Round-Up

Updated for 2018! This year, I got a jump on updating this post to ensure that you have plenty of time to purchase before the countdown begins. And there are now many dairy-free advent calendars to choose from! Confectioners in North America, Europe and Australia have recognized the increasing dairy-free demand, whether for allergies, intolerance, vegan preference, or health choices.

Detailed below are all of the vegan and dairy-free advent calendars that we’ve located to date, plus highly-rated refillable and non-food advent calendars. I’ve even updated the pictures to this year’s advent calendars specifically. The joy of the countdown starts on the first of December, so I suggest you check out this list and order this year’s now!

Dairy-Free Advent Calendars: The Chocolate Collection

Let them enjoy a dairy-free chocolate each day with these Christmas countdown calendars.

Amanda’s Own Dairy-Free Advent Calendars

This whimsical package contains 24 semi-sweet, kid-friendly chocolate prizes. All are free of gluten and top allergens, including soy, and made in Amanda’s dedicated facility. Amanda’s Own does ship throughout the U.S. and Canada, and we assume this goes for their dairy-free advent calendars, too! Want to know what a milk allergic kid thinks? See Sarah’s review of this product.

No Whey! Vegan Advent Calendars

Formerly known as Premium Chocolatiers, No Whey Chocolate offers dairy-free advent calendars that are filled with milk-like chocolates. And as of 2016, their facility is free of dairy, eggs, gluten, nuts, and soy. No Whey ships their goodies throughout the U.S. and Canada.

Plamil So free Organic Dairy-Free Advent Calendars

You know it’s going to be good when their is an elf on the front of the package holding a sign that says, “yummy scrummy”! These organic, vegan, and fair trade dairy-free advent calendars from Plamil contain rice milk chocolates, and they have a new dairy-free White Chocolate Alternative calendar. Both are made in Plamil’s dairy-free, gluten-free, and nut-free factory. They’re even soy-free by ingredients. Plamil uses rice milk powder and sunflower lecithin, though they do note that soy is present in the facility. These calendars are most readily available in the UK, Europe, and Australia, but can be ordered online worldwide.

Moo Free Organic Free-From Advent Calendars

How many advent calendars can claim that they are “multi award winning”? Well this one can! This is another organic, milky chocolate-filled gem out of the UK. Everything that Moo Free makes is dairy-free, and their advent calendars are vegan, made with fair trade ingredients, and free of gluten. They’re even made without nuts and soy, but soy and hazelnuts are present in the Moo Free facility. Moo Free products are available online and distributed throughout Europe, Australia, and even in North America.

Divine Dark Chocolate Advent Calendars

They do make dairy milk chocolate advent calendars, but Divine’s dark chocolate version is made without dairy. In fact, it’s Vegan Society Certified. These are available in the U.K. and U.S., and have even been spotted at World Market in the states.

Montezuma’s Organic Dairy-Free & Vegan Advent Calendars

This chocolatier thinks no one should be left out. They have a 73% vegan dark chocolate advent calendar for hard core chocoholics, and a NEW dairy-free milk chocolate alternative calendar for those of us with a bigger sweet tooth! Montezuma delivers throughout the UK and Europe, but we did spot their Organic Dark Chocolate Advent Calendar on Amazon for U.S. customers.

Holland & Barrett Dairy-Free Advent Calendars

I’m guessing this festive advent calendar is created by Moo Free or Plamil, but branded as Holland & Barrett with their own holiday design. It’s filled with organic, fair trade, dairy-free milk chocolates made with cacao, rice powder, sweetener and sunflower lecithin. Holland & Barrett sells this advent calendar, on their website and in their stores across the UK.

Hotel Chocolat Dark Chocolate Advent Calendars

Hotel Chocolat does produce milk chocolates, too, but this is their all-dark chocolate calendar that is “suitable for vegans”. The rich little figurines include reindeer, snowmen, penguins and enchanted Christmas trees. Their products are available to people in the UK and Australia.

Tesco Free From Chocolate Advent Calendars?

This mega grocer was making their own cute dairy- and gluten-free advent calendars, but we haven’t spotted them yet this year. Their advent calendar selection online is still modest, so I have a feeling they are still on the way. Tesco is a store chain in the U.K., but they also own store chains in Europe, Asia, and North America.

D&D Chocolates Fillable & Dairy-Free Advent Calendars

D&D Chocolates is well-known in the UK for their dairy-free chocolate and carob confections, and this year they are offering an advent calendar for each! They also sell wrapped advent calendar chocolates and carob treats separately, which are great if you have a refillable advent calendar. This company is based in the UK, but they do ship throughout Europe.

Dairy-Free Advent Calendars: The Toy Box

Who says advent calendars have to contain chocolate? Go fun and food-free with these naturally dairy-free advent calendars.

Lego Advent Calendars

Lego comes up with a few different themes for their advent calendars, but the new one for this year is the City theme pictured below. It includes 24 mini-figures, models and accessories to reveal and play with throughout the month!

Little People Advent Calendar

I can’t believe “People” toys are still around. They weren’t known as “little” people when I was a kid, and now they have even more detail. This is adorable fun for any little one.

Paw Patrol Advent Calendar

Like the Little People, but with our favorite furry friends instead!

Mochi Squishy Advent Calendar

For those who love a good sensory experience, this calendar includes 24 non-toxic, soft silicone squishy toys.

Kubla Crafts Felt Advent Calendars

From nativity scenes to decorative trees, the stuffed felt pieces on Kubla Crafts advent calendars are fun to velcro in place as kids countdown the days to Christmas.

Dairy-Free Advent Calendars: Fill Your Own!

You can fill these reusable advent calendars each year with little treats, like Cocomels, Ocho Minis, Enjoy Life Minis, or YumEarth Candies. Or you can opt for little non-food gifts that will be equally fun to discover.

Nativity Advent Drawer by Magic Cabin

There are actually quite a few refillable advent calendars, but this is one of the best. It’s wooden, pretty, well-designed, and a remarkably good price.

Byers’ Choice Fillable Advent Calendars

This brand is a bit pricier, but loyal fans love the pretty designs and high-quality wooden construction of Byers’ Choice.

Aparty4u Felt Christmas Advent Calendar

This is a brand new design, so I can’t vouch for it in person. But I love the creative and versatile design of this advent calendar. It’s also worth trying out just for the price!

Dairy-Free Advent Calendars: More Cool Options

Here are a few more fun options that didn’t quite fit into the categories above.

Melissa & Doug Magnetic Wooden Advent Calendars

Melissa & Doug have their own playful advent calendars, complete with 24 unique wooden ornaments and a tree-topping star. Their toys are typically sustainably made and decorated with water-based, non-toxic paints.

Haribo Candy Advent Calendar

Most advent calendars are filled with chocolate, but this is a great candy option by a German gummy maker. It’s tricky to locate in the U.S., however you can buy it on Amazon. In the U.K., you can buy it from online shops like Ocado, and perhaps find it in stores, too. Some Haribo candies contain wheat, and many are not vegan. Nonetheless, they do appear to be dairy free.

The Bomb Advent Calendar

Bomb Cosmetics wants everyone to smell good during the holidays. Each door houses a little scented soap or “fragrant bath blaster,” and they are all vegan. This is a UK company, but I spotted their calendar on Amazon US, too.

Bonne Maman Preserves Advent Calendar

The kids might not get excited about this calendar (or maybe they will?) but I think adults will love it. It includes a new spread to enjoy each day. I found it at World Market.
