Whether it’s chocolate, gin or pork scratchings hiding behind the doors, advent calendars are known for being indulgent – but one supermarket has really pushed the boat out, this year.
M&S has launched a product which is perfect for the festive season – a cheese advent calendar.
The Collection Cheese Advent Calendar features 24 mini bars of the retailer’s best cheddar.
Cheese enthusiasts will be thrilled to know that a chunk of the award-winning M&S Cornish Cruncher Cheddar – a product which previously won gold at the World Cheese Awards (yes, that really is a thing) 0 makes an appearance in the calendar.
There’s also a cheese Santa hiding behind door number 25, for you to tuck into on Christmas Day.
The savoury advent calendar costs £15 – which is a pretty decent price considering good-quality cheeses usually come with a slight price tag.
The only catch is that cheese lovers will have to head in-store to pick up the product, as the brand will not be stocking it online.
M&S announced the arrival of the calendar on its Instagram yesterday.
The post read: ‘We don’t want to sound cheesy but you’re going to LOVE this NEW Advent Calendar.
‘With 24 M&S bite-size cheddars and a special Santa cheese for Christmas Day, what’s not to love? Get it in store for £15 today!’
Naturally, the news was greeted with a lot of excitement in the comments section.
One Instagram user said: ‘Never mind a chocolate one I need this.’
Another commented: ‘Is it greedy to have two!!?’
While another joked: ‘They need to do a nine-month version for pregnant ladies.’
But the brand’s advent calendar offering doesn’t stop there.
M&S also has a Gins of Christmas calendar, with nine different gin varieties including clementine, sloe and Edinburgh seaside.
What’s more, the retailer launched a 12 days of Christmas jewellery advent calendar earlier this year, with interchangeable earrings and necklaces.
