The Costco advent calendar lineup for 2026 has four edible choices: nuts and snacks, tea, candy and hot cocoa. We lined up what three recent guides report on price, count and where each is sold, so you can pick before December 1.
We haven’t opened any of these, and we couldn’t read Costco’s product pages for details. Prices are the guides’ figures from October and early November, so check Costco.com before you order!
How do the Costco advent calendar food picks compare?
The four differ in what’s inside and how you buy them. CostRefund tracked Costco.com’s listings on November 2, 2026. Spoon University covered the lineup in October. The Takeout (October 15, 2026) added the cocoa one.
| Damn Man nuts and snacks | Tea Forté Warming Joy | Sugarfina candy | Whittard hot cocoa | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| What’s inside | 24 days of nuts and snacks, 24 oz in all | 24 pyramid tea infusers, a cup and tea trays | Two-pack candy tasting collection | 12 hot cocoa flavors, two sachets a door |
| Listed price | $39.99, $10 off through Nov 30 | $69.99 with $20 off through Nov 30 (CostRefund); $89.99 (Spoon University) | $74.99 | $99.99 |
| Where | Online only | Online only | Online | Online only |
| Seen on Nov 2 list | Yes | Yes | No | No |
The Tea Forté prices differ by $20, which is exactly the discount CostRefund lists. That suggests one page shows the price before the offer, though neither page says so.
Which Costco advent calendar should you buy?
Not sure who it’s for? Pick by what the person will actually eat each night. The nuts calendar is the one still on Costco.com’s list in November, so it’s the safest to count on.
- Cheapest food pick: Damn Man nuts and snacks, at $39.99 on CostRefund’s list.
- For a tea drinker: Tea Forté, which comes with a cup and trays.
- For a sweet tooth: Sugarfina, which Spoon University describes as gummies and other sweets, not just chocolate.
- For cold evenings: Whittard cocoa, if it’s still around.
Are the Sugarfina and cocoa calendars still for sale?
We can’t tell. CostRefund’s November 2 list of seven Costco.com calendars doesn’t include the Sugarfina or Whittard ones. Both turned up in October articles. The list also includes a pet calendar, a Pokémon one, a plush ornament set and a wooden village, so you’ll find non-food options too.
CostRefund also says Costco.com listed no wine, beer or spirits calendar on November 2. Spoon University reports a $99.99 wine calendar, limited to California at the time. Advent starts December 1, per CostRefund.
What else goes with a countdown gift?
If the countdown is for a party, our Costco charcuterie board comparison covers the snack table, and our Christmas side dishes cover dinner. CostRefund also notes that Costco’s price adjustment policy lets you ask for the difference within 30 days if a calendar goes on sale after you buy.
