There are oodles of beauty advent calendars available these days, but don't get much more luxurious than Harrods'. Back for 2026, the department store's festive countdown is its biggest and best yet, with 34 products inside and 21 full-size beauty buys – up from 32 products and 14 full-sizes last year.
The line-up reflects just how much Harrods has expanded its beauty offering since launching H Beauty in 2020, balancing iconic luxury names such as La Prairie, Augustinus Bader and Sisley with newer brands that have become fixtures in its beauty halls.
If you're comparing this year's biggest beauty advent calendars before deciding where to spend your money, or you're already set on a premium Harrods haul, here's everything you need to know ahead of the launch. I've also rounded up the retailer's accompanying hair and body, and fragrance advent calendars, both of which proved hugely popular (and sold out) in 2025.

For the 2026 advent calendar, Harrods hasn't abandoned the luxury formula that's made its beauty countdown such a draw. In fact, I’d argue it's refined it, weaving some of the year's most talked-about launches into a line-up that's traditionally been dominated by heritage names. While the calendar still leans heavily into the luxury skincare brands synonymous with the department store's beauty halls, newer additions from Skin Cycles, U Beauty and Sync Beauty sit comfortably alongside heavyweights such as Augustinus Bader, Sisley and Shiseido.
For anyone who buys a beauty advent calendar as a way to sample products they'd never usually justify splurging on, Harrods remains one of the strongest contenders. There's a 15ml pot of Augustinus Bader's the rich eye cream, Shiseido's future solution LX cream and a Montale fragrance – all of which, if bought outright in the featured sizes, would cost more (£273) than the entire advent calendar.
The category split also feels expertly curated, with make-up, fragrance and haircare receiving more attention alongside Harrods' trademark skincare offering. Highlights include Charlotte Tilbury, Gucci Beauty and Nars on the make-up front, with Philip Kingsley and Moncho Moreno flying the flag for haircare.
As mentioned previously, the numbers are more impressive this year, too. The price has increased by £20 to £270, but Harrods has added two extra products overall and boosted the full-size count from 14 to 21. As always, I'd treat that figure with a little caution until every product size is confirmed, as luxury retailers have a habit of stretching the definition of "full-size". Even so, on paper, this is comfortably Harrods' most generous beauty advent calendar to date. Watch this space for my full tried and tested review.

The sell-out Harrods 12 days of fragrance advent calendar returns for 2026 with a £225 price tag and a line-up that’s set to leave olfactory obsessives in awe. The edit brings together some of the biggest names in niche fragrance, including Maison Francis Kurkdjian, Initio and Parfums de Marly, with seven full-size bottles and four scents exclusive to Harrods.
Compared with last year’s offering, which featured the likes of Creed and Roja, the 2026 calendar continues the retailer’s focus on hard-to-find luxury fragrances – with the exception of a Jo Malone English pear and freesia cologne because, well, everyone loves a spritz of JM.
Spanning everything from rich ouds and gourmands to more floral, wearable compositions, your fragrance library will be set for 2027 with this selection in your arsenal.

For 2026, Harrods’ 12 days of hair and body advent calendar has held firm at the same £99 price point, bringing together a mix of haircare, body care, fragrance and a few token beauty treats (for instance, spot patches). The edit includes nine full-size products, with this year’s roster featuring sought-after names including Sol de Janeiro, Kérastase and Color Wow.
Last year’s calendar combined cult favourites such as Ouai, Gisou and The Ordinary with newer discoveries, so the 2026 edition looks set to continue Harrods’ balance of recognisable beauty names and new ones – in this case, Starpowa – worth trying.
