Lush has unveiled its flagship Christmas advent calendar for 2026, offering a 25-day selection that blends long-standing favorites with recent viral hits. The calendar spans nearly every product category, from shower gels and body care to fragrance, candles, and bath items, aiming to give buyers a broad introduction to the brand.
Mix of Classics and Trends
The lineup includes perennial staples such as the Sleepy and Sticky Dates ranges, alongside products that have gained popularity on social media, like the dusting powders. IndyBest expert Twiggy Jalloh previously described the Dream Cream body lotion as “instantly soothing” in her guide to the best Lush products, and it appears in this year’s calendar.
Exclusive and Festive Items
Several gift-exclusive products are featured, including a “Celebrate” bubble bar scented with orange and lime. The hot chocolate orange lip scrub combines a festive twist with the brand’s popular lip scrub formula. Most items are miniatures sized for seasonal use, and the calendar also includes a reusable wicker basket, though its bright green shade may limit year-round appeal.
Price and Availability
The calendar is priced at £210 and is available for pre-order now with dispatch scheduled for October. Lush has not disclosed the total retail value of the contents. Reviewers note that bath bombs and bubble bars may degrade if not used promptly or stored in humid conditions, and some fans may miss the absent Snow Fairy collection.
