Aldi’s 2026 Advent calendars hit stores Wednesday, Nov. 4, with a $16.99 cheese calendar, a Disney Princess Little People set, LEGO and a brand-new Aldi superfan box.
Mark your calendar for your calendar. Aldi‘s 2026 Advent calendar lineup lands in stores on Wednesday, Nov. 4, according to the chain’s upcoming Aldi Finds ad, as reported by Aldi Reviewer and Aisle of Shame.
Fans treat this drop a little like a holiday in itself. There’s a cheese calendar, kids’ toy calendars, pet calendars, beauty boxes, tea and, new this year, a calendar that’s basically a love letter to Aldi.
Disney fans get something too. A Fisher-Price Little People Disney Princess calendar is on the list at $26.99, per Aldi Reviewer.
When do the Aldi Advent calendars go on sale in 2026?
They arrive Wednesday, Nov. 4. Aldi Reviewer says that date lines up with National Advent Calendar Day, which falls on the first Wednesday in November.
Last year followed the same pattern. Aldi’s 2025 calendars went on sale Wednesday, Nov. 5, 2025, and Aldi’s site told shoppers to “snag some Aldi Advent and holiday calendars along with your go-to groceries,” per Florida Today.
These are Aldi Finds, so they’re in stores while supplies last. Aldi Reviewer says they’re stocked once a season and can’t be ordered online after they sell out.
What’s in the Aldi Finds Superfan Advent calendar?
The most on-brand newcomer is the Aldi Finds Superfan calendar, priced at $29.99. Aldi Reviewer says it’s packed with Aldi-branded goodies, including a snow globe, a Rubik’s Cube and a pouch.
Yes, you can count down to Christmas with a grocery store’s logo on everything. If you’ve ever owned an Aldi quarter keychain, this is your moment.
How much is the Aldi cheese Advent calendar?
The Emporium Selection cheese calendar is back at $16.99, the same as last year. It holds 24 imported cheeses, 12.7 ounces total, per Aldi Reviewer and Aisle of Shame.
That one tends to be the headliner. Last year Florida Today listed it at $16.99 too, so cheese lovers get a rare holiday with no price bump.
Chocolate fans have a cheap pick. The Choceur kids’ milk chocolate calendar is $1.99, and Kinder’s countdown calendar is $6.99, per Aldi Reviewer.
Which Aldi Advent calendars are for kids?
There’s a stack of them. Here are the toy calendars and prices Aldi Reviewer listed:
Fisher-Price Little People Disney Princess: $26.99
Fisher-Price Little People: $26.99
LEGO City (252 pieces): $34.99
LEGO Friends (211 pieces): $34.99
Squishmallows Micromallows, 12 days: $29.99

Craft-loving kids get Merry Moments 12 Days of Crafts and 12 Days of Puzzles, both $9.99. There’s also a Creativity for Kids sensory play calendar for $14.99.
Are there Aldi Advent calendars for dogs and cats?
Yep. Aldi Reviewer lists two Heart to Tail calendars, one for dogs and one for cats, at $12.99 each, and a Pure Being dog calendar with 25 chicken treats for $7.99.
Your pet won’t understand Advent. Your pet will absolutely understand chicken, though, and that’s the whole point of a treat calendar.
What other new Aldi Advent calendars are there this year?
Aldi Reviewer flagged several new ones beyond the Superfan box:
12 Days of Lacura Beauty, $24.99, with a gua sha stone and a face mask
Visage 24 Days of Beauty, $24.99
Merry Moments Christmas Kitchen, $19.99, with kitchen tools
Barissimo 24 Nights of Tea (herbal and decaf), $7.99
Barissimo 24 Days of Tea (caffeinated), $7.99
The Kirkton House scented candle calendar is back at $34.99. Aisle of Shame’s list also mentions a Crofton baking calendar and a Moser Roth chocolate calendar, but without prices.
How many Aldi stores are there?
More every month, it seems. Aldi said in January it planned to open more than 180 new stores in 2026 and expected to have nearly 2,800 U.S. stores by the end of the year.
“One in three U.S. households shopped at ALDI this past year,” Aldi U.S. CEO Atty McGrath said in that January announcement. The chain calls itself America’s fastest-growing grocer.
So there’s probably one near you. Aldi Finds go out on Wednesdays, so plan a morning run on Nov. 4 if you’ve got your eye on the cheese or the Disney Princess box. Neither outlet said how many of each calendar stores will get.
