Hanging mistletoe, sporting saucy Santa suits, and drinking too much eggnog at the company ugly sweater party may be the most common ways folks sex-ify their holiday season, but these traditional go-tos have nothing on the best sex toy advent calendars.

A spicy twist on the classic countdown calendar, sex toy advent calendars help festive pleasure-seekers wait out the days until Christmas one orgasm at a time. Filled with everything from vibrators to strokers, lubricants to massage oils, and lingerie to blindfolds, sex toy advent calendars are worth considering for anyone who wants to expand their sexual repertoire, says award-winning sex educator and social psychologist Justin Lehmiller, PhD, researcher with the Kinsey Institute Researcher and author of Tell Me What You Want. “They can add an element of novelty and surprise to sex, while also giving you the opportunity to try some things you might not have previously thought of,” he says.

Sex toy advent calendars can be an especially fruitful investment for anyone interested in trying new things with their partner(s), says Dr. Lehmiller. “Each time you open a box, it prompts a conversation about what you think about the toy and how you might use it together,” he says. This encourages communication, while also giving you and your partner(s) an excuse to be sexually creative, he adds. Not to mention, sex toy advent calendars can be a great deal financially. “They offer you the chance to build up your toy collection at a discounted price,” he says.

The best sex toy advent calendar for you will depend on your particular pleasure tastes, as well as your relationship status, experience level, and more. To make finding the right one easy for you, we curated a list of the 12 best sexual advent calendars this year that include kinky, beginner-friendly, and budgeted options.
