Best cruelty free beauty advent calendars 2025

Sharing is caring!

There are loads of great brands that are cruelty free these days. We really have no excuse to be still buying from brands who aren’t cruelty free, as tempting as it can be sometimes. I love getting a cruelty free beauty advent calendar for each December. It makes the month really exciting and festive getting a little treat each day. The products generally last me throughout the full year and I rarely buy products outside of it.

I’ve been trying to choose which I want this year so I thought I’d share my favourite cruelty free beauty advent calendars for Christmas 2025. (For those of you who are vegan, I also have a post that covers my recommendations for vegan beauty advent calendars.)

I have included some more affordable options (great for teens) and have placed them in order of cheapest to most expensive for your convenience.

I let you know how the price of each product compares to previous years and which offer the best value for money.

I have also included some exclusive discount codes for some of these items so do watch out for those throughout the post. 

Beware that some of the images have content spoilers so if you like a true surprise maybe don’t look at the images too closely.
