I tried food advent calenders – the £21 winner is perfect for pigging out this Christmas
ONE of the top reasons Christmas is the best time of year is, quite simply, all the food.
So what better way to work your way through the festive season than with an advent calendar which is packed full of delicious treats.

If you can't pig out at Christmas, when can you?
This is packed with 24 bags of pork crackling in different flavours including Pigs in Blankets, Salt Vinegar, Low & Slow BBQ, Black Pepper, Perfectly Salted and Marvellous Maple.
This crackling has been awarded stars in the Great Taste Awards and I can see why, it's packed with flavour to make the countdown to Christmas extra tasty.
The calendar is plastic-free and recyclable and if you don't want a bag a day, these will last until March 2025.

Flapjackery's Gluten Free Advent Calendar
- £65,
A premium-looking calendar that comes in a sleek black box in a fold-out design.
Behind each door is a chocolate-covered liquorice treat.
The liquorice itself is quite subtle with the flavours of salted caramel, lemon, mango and vanilla being the stars of the show.
I didn't think I'd like them but actually they are surprisingly moreish.
Each door also reveals an interesting fact about liquorice production, such as how it can take up to 48 hours to make a single piece.
Once you pop you really can't stop, but you won't need to worry about that with this calendar as it gives you one 40g tub of Pringles for 12 days in the run up to Christmas.
It's cheaper than last year, too.
A mini tub costs £1 each at Tesco and you get 12 here so you're not paying over the odds for your crisps.
It's not the most festive of calendars but if Pringles are your thing, you'll love this.

Pukka Tea Advent Calendar

But whilst the sweets were delicious, you get less than you would expect here. It's not really worth £6.
