Have you checked Walmart's holiday beauty section lately? I stopped by Walmart today and noticed something I wasn't expecting: beauty advent calendars everywhere. There were makeup calendars, hair care gifts, men's grooming options, and even a Walmart-branded beauty countdown in the prettiest purple packaging.
Naturally, I had to look into them.
Some calendars have 12 surprises, while others give you 24 days of products to open. And you don't have to spend a fortune to get one. I found options starting around $12, along with a few pricier calendars for someone who really loves beauty products.
Here are the Walmart beauty advent calendars that caught my attention, plus a few more I found online.
We also rounded up more beauty advent calendars from various brands that are currently going viral

This 24-piece holiday set comes with a mix of beauty surprises and has a stated value of over $75. It's a fun option for someone who enjoys experimenting with makeup without spending a fortune.
At $49.99, it's also a nice middle ground between the inexpensive 12-day calendars and some of the more expensive beauty countdowns.

Walmart
W7 12 Days of Gorgeous Advent Calendar Makeup Gift
$15
This is one of the more affordable makeup advent calendars I found.
The 12-piece set includes 10 makeup products, a beauty sponge, and a satin scrunchie. There are products for the eyes, lips, and face, including bronzing drops, eye pencils, and lip gloss.
At around $15, it's a fun option for someone who wants the experience of opening a beauty surprise without spending $50 or more.
Profusion Cosmetics Elf 12-Day Advent Calendar
If you're shopping for someone who loves Christmas movies and makeup, this one deserves a look.
Profusion Cosmetics has an Elf-themed 12-day beauty advent calendar. The festive packaging makes it particularly appealing as a holiday gift, especially for teens and anyone who enjoys playful makeup collections.
Makeup Revolution 24-Piece Advent Calendar
Walmart
Makeup Revolution Advent Calendar: 24-Piece Holiday Gift Set
For someone who would rather open a beauty surprise every day leading up to Christmas, Makeup Revolution offers a 24-piece calendar.
This is a better fit for the makeup lover who wants a longer countdown rather than a smaller 12-day gift.
It's also worth comparing the contents with products the recipient already owns before spending more on a larger calendar.
OPI M&M's Nail Polish Advent Calendar
Walmart
OPI Nail Lacquer Holiday Nail Polish Advent Calendar
$49.99
Not every beauty advent calendar has to be about makeup.
OPI's M&M's holiday nail polish calendar is an option for someone who enjoys changing their manicure throughout the season.
This would be a particularly fun gift for someone who regularly does their nails at home or likes collecting different polish colors.
Are Walmart Beauty Advent Calendars Worth Buying?
That depends on what's inside.
I would pay attention to the brands, the number of products, and whether the calendar includes items someone will actually use.
A $12 makeup calendar can be a perfectly good gift for someone who enjoys experimenting with beauty products. A $50 calendar makes more sense when the assortment includes brands or formulas the recipient already likes.
Where to Find Beauty Advent Calendars at Walmart
I found several holiday beauty calendars while shopping in-store, but selection will vary by location.
You can also browse Walmart's online beauty advent calendar collection to compare products, prices, and pickup availability.
If you're interested in one, I'd start looking now rather than waiting until December. The fun of an advent calendar is having it ready before the countdown begins.
