Aldi's Flamin' Holidays Advent Calendar Will Return for 2025—Here's How to Get Yours
Aldi'sBurman's Flamin' Holidays Advent Calendar is officially returning for 2025—and if you want one, be prepared to act fast. Over the last few years, these limited-edition calendars have become a cult favorite among fans, offering a festive countdown with 25 mini bottles of hot sauce in flavors ranging from garlic herb and Thai sweet chili to the infamous ghost pepper. The calendar lands on Aldi shelves starting Nov. 5 with a wallet-friendly price of just $14.99. It's a must-have for heat seekers and gifting.
Aldi's Advent calendar drops have become a major yearly event. Typically, the hottest releases sell out within days—even hours. In years past, employees have even been known to hand out tickets to manage the demand, as reported by Aldi Reviewer. There are never any restocks, so when they're gone, they're gone for good. This calendar's popularity has only grown, with more than 30 unique advent offerings at Aldi this year, ranging from wine and cheese to puzzles, candles, pet treats, and, of course, hot sauces. If you want one, plan to line up before store opening and check your local weekly ad for specific pricing and calendar options. Some stores offer curbside pickup or delivery, but in-person shopping is your best bet for securing the calendar you want.
Flamin' Advent Is Now a Holiday Event
For fans who missed out in previous years, the Flamin' Holidays calendar has been consistently named one of Aldi's best value picks, thanks to its affordable price, creative flavor lineup, and impressive giftability. In 2024, and even further back, the calendar went viral thanks to its fun daily surprises and share-worthy variety. As one Facebook reviewer noted, "It has been so fun tasting the Aldi hot sauce Advent calendar! But today, day 10—ooof....it was the hottest yet!" The ghost pepper bottle has earned cult status among spice addicts, while the milder bottles make the calendar accessible to all heat levels. Given the yearly increase in demand, the best strategy is to arrive at your closest Aldi early on launch day. Diehard Advent calendar fans suggest lining up an hour before opening to guarantee a spot.
